[jaking]

Over the next two months, we'll feature NIWeek highlights to get you excited about what NIWeek 2011 has to offer.

Up next is the Energy Technology Summit, which will focus on designing, transmitting, and distributing smart grid technology as well as topics such as renewable generation and electric vehicles. Summit presenters include experts from Lockheed Martin, CenterPoint Energy, and National Renewable Energy Lab.

Energy Technology Summit sessions include:

• Bridging the Gap to Smart Grid: State of the Union and Lessons Learned at CenterPoint — Hear how the third largest utility provider in the U.S. is transitioning to a fully realized smart grid without sacrificing stable and reliable energy delivery
• China Smart Grid Embedded Systems — Learn how one company is developing an embedded control and monitoring system for a microgrid using CompactRIO
• Which Electric Utility Future Will We Chose? — Discuss how the electricity business is changing rapidly and whether we see “wasted opportunity,” “paralysis and retrograde,” or “smartcubed” in our future depends on the choices we make today
• Under the Hood of Smart Grid, Microgrid, and Energy Storage Control Systems — Discover how two companies are using LabVIEW Real-Time and LabVIEW FPGA to measure and control energy flow, storage and release
• Electric Vehicle Simulation Techniques for Testing and Validation — Explore how new multidomain modeling tools allow for simulation of electric and hybrid vehicle performance under a variety of operating conditions
