DISTRIBUTECH International 2020

Getting Concrete Value From Blockchain in Today's DER-Centric Grid-CANCELED (Room 205)

27 Jan 20
1:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Tracks: Co-Located Event (Associations)

As we continue to speed toward a digitalized, decentralized clean energy future, it's imperative that our industry stays informed on the best ways to manage this changing landscape. 

That's why we're hosting a special pre-event workshop at Distributech 2020. This half-day session and networking event will detail the ways that blockchain and other decentralized technologies can enhance renewable energy traceability and unlock valuable grid flexibility from an ever-growing number of customer-owned resources and DERs.  

We'll feature demos of emerging solutions in Europe, Asia, and elsewhere for device registration, energy attribute trading, and more. Attendees will also take part in interactive sessions on decentralized identifiers, application registries, and other key components of scalable, decentralized solutions. 

Join us for hands-on and in-person opportunities to learn how blockchain and decentralized technologies can create real, near-term value for utilities, grid operators, and other energy market participants.

Who Should Attend: 

Any energy industry professional looking for a better understanding of how decentralized technologies are enabling the grid of the future. Especially useful for utilities and grid operators. Although not required, we recommend a basic understanding of blockchain technology to get the most out of the afternoon.
