未来发电的走向将会聚焦于8月17日星期一到8月19日星期三，于加拿大安大略省奥安大略理工大学举办的国际能源会议，安大略理工大学作为本次会议的东道主。

　　安大略理工大学将会欢迎来自全世界的前沿思想者参加为期三天的电气和电子工程协会智能电网国际工程会议。

　　来自安大略理工大学的能源和核科学学院(也隶属于工程和应用科学学院)的教授、会议成立者、大会主席Hossam Gaber博士指出“这次会议将安大略理工大学放在了能源系统工程与方法创新领域的中心，各国政府为了确保最优能源利用和供应、断电响应和恢复往智能电网投入了大量的资金。智能电网工程国际会议的将会交流技术提高的知识，比如可更新能源系统、电气车辆网络和智能家。”

　　智能能源网中存在的设计、能源电气网络与通信的结合和网络技术等问题给我们带来了许多工程上的挑战。同时电网中还存在许多安全问题和不同材料的保密性等问题。这次会议为行业、研究者、政府调控者处理这些挑战，以及讨论关于较好的设计以及智能能源网络的实施等提供了一个论坛。

　　UOIT to host international smart energy grid experts

　　Future directions in power generation will come into focus Monday, August 17 to Wednesday, August 19 as the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) plays host to a key international energy conference in Oshawa, Ontario.

　　The university will welcome leading thinkers from across the world at the three-day Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) International Conference on Smart Energy Grid Engineering (SEGE).

　　“This conference really puts the University of Ontario Institute of Technology on the map as a hub of innovative new approaches to energy systems engineering,” says conference founder and general chair Dr. Hossam Gaber, Professor, UOIT Faculty of Energy Systems and Nuclear Science (cross-appointed to the UOIT Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science). “Governments around the world are investing heavily in smart energy grids to ensure optimum energy use and supply, and enable better planning for outage responses and recovery. Experts at SEGE will exchange knowledge about advances in technologies such as renewable energy systems, electrical vehicle networks and ‘smart homes’.”

　　Smart energy grids present enormous engineering challenges in both the design and integration of energy and electrical grids with communication and network technologies. There are also substantial questions of security and privacy of different components within the grid. The conference will offer a forum for industry professionals, researchers and government regulators to tackle these challenges and discuss best practices about design and implementation of smart energy grids.
