Dr. Mary E. Reidy
National Grid
Dr. Reidy is currently a member of National
Grid's Smart Technology Center in Liverpool, NY and is responsible for identification of appropriate university-industry collaborations,
including the development of a Smart Grid curriculum as part of the US Department of Energy's (DOE) ARRA FOA 152 grants.
This grant will develop an educational curriculum from the Associate's level up to and including the PhD level
and is designed to be offered on-line in conjunction with 6 partnering universities and colleges.
Dr. Reidy is currently serving as Chair of the IEEE p2030.1 working group. This working group will provide
a guide to those interested in the interconnection and interaction of electric transportation and the electric grid.
The discussion today will focus on the development of this guide and the particular technical and policy initiatives ongoing.
The p2030.1 working group is part of the IEEE's Smart Grid Interoperability Working Groups, which support the work
of the National Institute of Standards Technology (NIST) under the Department of Energy (DOE).
Dr. Reidy is also an active member in the IEEE at the Education Society, member of the academy of management (AOM),
a reviewer for published papers in the AOM and the IEEE Engineering management society as well.
Dr. Reidy has mentored doctoral students at Case Western Reserve University,
in the Doctorate of Management program under the Weatherhead School of Management.
Dr. Reidy is a licensed professional engineer in New York State, and has earned an MBA, M. Eng., BSEE and BS in Accounting.
Interconnection Standards for Renewables
ABSTRACT: Development of new forms of renewable energy is currently a very energetic and developing topic area with incredible
interest from the technical and business community. In addition, the IEEE p2030 series is currently working on draft documents
to address some of the intriguing issues in the renewable area. Of particular interest is the evolution of community
and business-level microgrids.
Microgrids incorporate renewable energy generation to serve localized load and provide additional points of discussion.
Dr. Reidy will address the current state of technology, IEEE's role in development of guidelines, as well as present some
current technological requirements necessary for those who may be interested in initiation of these projects.
