The project will support a workshop on the identification of challenges and opportunities for the large scale deployment of the smart grid, to be held in Washington D.C. area in early 2013. This workshop will be organized by Virginia Tech's Advanced Research Institute and Southeast University of China. It will bring together approximately 50 smart grid experts and researchers from both the United States and China. This workshop is designed to create a synergy among workshop participants from the U.S. and China. Specific objectives for the workshop are: (1) To identify challenges of smart grid development in the United States and China, (2) to identify technologies ? both electric power and communication infrastructures ? necessary to support smart grid development and high penetration of intermittent renewable energy sources, (3) to identify best practices and lessons learned based on the deployment experience in smart grid projects, (4) to identify challenges and research topics that the participants can use as a context to propose new research in this field, and (5) to provide international networking opportunities and potential for future research collaboration.It is expected that presentations and discussions at the workshop will lead to a better understanding of research challenges and the identification of R&D opportunities for international research collaboration. This activity will in turn serve as a basis for future academia-industry collaboration and for conducting joint research and/or setting up joint programs on smart grid. It is also expected that this workshop will help build awareness and promote educational and research exchange visits in smart grid related topics. Efforts will be made to recruit women researchers from academia, government and national laboratories, as well as participants from underrepresented groups.

该项目将支持定于2013年初在华盛顿特区举办的关于确定大规模部署智能电网的挑战和机遇的讲习班。这次研讨会将由弗吉尼亚理工大学高级研究院和东南大学共同组织。它将汇集来自美国和中国的大约50名智能电网专家和研究人员。本次研讨会旨在在来自美国和中国的研讨会参与者之间产生协同作用。研讨会的具体目标是：（1）确定美国和中国智能电网发展的挑战，（2）确定技术？电力和通信基础设施？支持智能电网发展和间歇性可再生能源的高渗透率所必需的，（3）根据智能电网项目的部署经验确定最佳实践和经验教训，（4）确定参与者可以使用的挑战和研究主题作为背景提出该领域的新研究，及（5）提供国际网络的机会，并为日后的研究合作提供潜力。预期研讨会的介绍和讨论会有助加深对研究挑战的了解，并&为国际研究合作找出研究发展的机会。这项活动将反过来作为未来电力行业合作的基础，并进行联合研究和/或建立智能电网联合计划。预计本次研讨会还将有助于提高认识，促进智能电网相关主题的教育和研究交流访问。将努力从学术界、政府和国家实验室征聘女性研究人员，并从代表性不足的群体征聘参与者。
