NOTICE: As of result the current budget impasse and temporary shut down of the US Federal Government, federal employees are under restrictions. Due to uncertainty, we are canceling the Sensor and Control Roundtable that was planned for October 9 and 10 in association with the Future of Instrumentation International Conference. We will reschedule this forum for a later date and notify of you of future events. We appreciate your interest in the Roundtable and your understanding of the situation.
NETL's Crosscutting Research Program will be leading a Sensors & Controls Roundtable Discussion in conjunction with the 2013 IEEE Future of Instrumentation International Conference (FIIC). The roundtable will be held immediately following the conference on October 9th from 2PM- 5:30PM and continue the following morning, October 10th from 8:30 - noon. The focus of the discussions will be on the current status of sensor development and the emerging measurement and control needs of the industrial stakeholders and equipment manufacturers.
If you are planning on attending FIIC, then we invite you to stay after and participate in the Roundtable Discussions on October 9th and 10th. If you can only attend the conference, then please refer to the FIIC website for arrangements and location information.
Should you plan to attend the Roundtable Discussions that follow the conference, please note that while there is no fee to attend the roundtable alone, we would like to request a response in order to plan accordingly and develop an appropriate agenda. Again, these discussions will take place at the FIIC facilities following the close of the conference.
Mr. Jeff Dagle has worked at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, operated by Battelle for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), since 1989 and currently manages several projects in the areas of transmission reliability and security, including the North American SynchroPhasor Initiative (NASPI) and cyber security reviews for the DOE Smart Grid Investment Grants and Smart Grid Demonstration Projects associated with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.He is a Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), a member of the International Society of Automation (ISA) and National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE), and is a licensed Professional Engineer in the State of Washington. He received the 2001 Tri-City Engineer of the Year award by the Washington Society of Professional Engineers, led the data requests and management task for the U.S.-Canada Power System Outage Task Force investigation of the August 14, 2003 blackout, supported the DOE Infrastructure Security and Energy Restoration Division with on-site assessments in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina in fall 2005, and is the recipient of two patents, a Federal Laboratory Consortium (FLC) Award in 2007, and an R&D 100 Award in 2008 for the Grid Friendly™ Appliance Controller technology. Mr. Dagle was a member of a National Infrastructure Advisory Council (NIAC) study group formed in 2010 to establish critical infrastructure resilience goals.He received B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Washington State University in 1989 and 1994, respectively.
Jeff Dagle will provide an overview of the North American SynchroPhasor Initiative (NASPI).The mission of NASPI is to improve power system reliability and visibility through wide area measurement and control.Synchrophasors are precise grid measurements now available from monitors called phasor measurement units (PMUs). PMU measurements are taken at high speed (typically 30 observations per second – compared to one every 4 seconds using conventional technology). Each measurement is time-stamped according to a common time reference. Time stamping allows synchrophasors from different utilities to be time-aligned (or “synchronized”) and combined together providing a precise and comprehensive view of the entire interconnection. Synchrophasors enable a better indication of grid stress, and can be used to trigger corrective actions to maintain reliability.The NASPI community is working to advance the deployment and use of networked phasor measurement devices, phasor data-sharing, applications development and use, and research and analysis. Important applications today include wide-area monitoring, real-time operations, power system planning, and forensic analysis of grid disturbances. Phasor technology is expected to offer great benefit for integrating renewable and intermittent resources, automated controls for transmission and demand response, increasing transmission system throughput, and improving system modeling and planning.NASPI is a collaborative effort between the U.S. Department of Energy, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, and North American electric utilities, vendors, consultants, federal and private researchers and academics. NASPI activities are funded by DOE and NERC, and by the voluntary efforts of many industry members and experts.

COVERING THE EXPENSES FOR PAPER PUBLICATION
Please read carefully the following information concerning the registration procedure that is presented in the Author Instructions, especially if you are the prospective presenter of an accepted paper or if you need to guarantee inclusion of your accepted paper in the proceedings. An accepted paper will be published in the proceedings only if the full-fee registration payment for one of the authors is received and correctly processed by 1 September 2013- no exceptions.
Only member or non-member fees are allowed to cover the publication of an accepted paper. To qualify for member rates, the membership number must be provided in the registration form. Student registration fees do NOT guarantee the publication of an accepted paper. If the author registering to cover the paper publication is a student, he/she has to pay the appropriate member or non-member fee. Members to whom the society bylaws grant special discounts (e.g., Students, Life members of the IEEE) cannot use the discounted rates to cover the publication of an accepted paper, they have to pay the member fee.
One author registration will cover the publication expenses of only ONE accepted paper. For each additional accepted paper associated to the same registration, a $50 USD printing contribution will be charged. In the case no registration has been received and correctly processed to cover the paper publication, the conference organizers will contact the authors before the paper is removed from the proceedings.
