LAFAYETTE, Calif., Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Utility Integration Solutions,
Inc. (UISOL) announced today that it will be presenting on the topic of Demand
Response Management (DRM) at two utility industry events in November.
UISOL CEO Ali Vojdani will present Demand Response Business Network on
November 6th at EUCI NextGen: The Future of Demand Response & Energy
Efficiency in Boston, MA. Vojdani and UISOL Vice President Mark Day will also
lead a Post Conference Workshop, Implementing Demand Response Management (DRM)
and Meter Data Management (MDM), on November 7. On November 13, Vojdani will
present Enterprise Integration of Demand Response at the Grid-InterOp
Conference in Atlanta, GA.
Grid-InterOp is organized and supported in partnership with the National
Institute of Standards and Technology, the Gridwise Architecture Council, and
the US Department of Energy.
An expert in applying integration and business process management to the
unique challenges of the utility industry, Ali Vojdani, Ph.D. has been at the
forefront of industry efforts to advance the development of integrated Demand
Response solutions. UISOL has provided strategic consulting to several
utilities and has managed the implementation and demonstration of the
California Demand Response Business Network (DRBizNet), which integrates the
demand response business value chain for utility industry stakeholders
including utilities, market participants and operators.
Drawing on UISOL's experience, the presentations and workshop will address
issues surrounding implementation and integration of a demand response
application and examine the lessons learned in working with utilities and ISOs
to successfully integrate all stakeholders.
Vojdani said, "Although the utility industry is increasingly recognizing
the need for DR programs to effectively address capacity shortages and
increase efficiency of power markets, DR management is complex and unless we
get much better at it, it will become the limiting factor in DR growth.
To get better at DR management, we need a Dynamic DRM Software infrastructure
that can automate and efficiently manage the DR business network."
EUCI NextGen: The Future of Demand Response & Energy Efficiency is being
held in BostonNovember 5-6 at the Hyatt Regency. The conference presents a
forum to examine Demand Response initiatives, understand the future drivers
for DR programs, hear from customers, and share opinions on how best to
deliver the products that will meet energy needs. For more information on the
