2nd International Conference on Integration of Renewable and Distributed Energy Resources

4th – 8th December 2006
Marriott Napa Valley Hotel & Spa
Napa, California, USA


The growth of decentralized generation, liberalized markets, modern power electronics, and the introduction of advanced integrated circuit technologies are leading to a dramatic change in the management and operation of electricity grids worldwide.

The 2nd International Conference on the Integration of Renewable and Distributed Energy Resources aims at knowledge-sharing among North American, European, and Asian practitioners and researchers in the fields of renewable energy (RE) and distributed energy resources (DER). The conference will focus on the technical, market, and regulatory issues that challenge the integration of these sources into the grid.

Among the goals of this conference are to:

  • Share status and results of research projects
  • Better understand and communicate the visions from various stakeholders and players
  • Learn from national programs and policies
  • Discuss main issues and barriers and identify other needed research and potential solutions
  • Stimulate international, national, and regional program coordination

The weeklong conference will include pre-conference sessions, post-conference breakouts, tours, a poster session, and evening events.
