The convergence of power and information technologies in the smart grid has created opportunities for finer grained and broader controls of energy flows. These opportunities can improve electric service in multiple dimensions: lower cost, greater reliability, greater customer satisfaction, and so forth. But because they cut across traditional utility domains, implementing effective solutions can be challenging. IBM's concept of the Optimized Energy Value Chain (OEVC) points to a family of solutions for overcoming these challenges and delivering the benefits of the smart grid. Simply put, OEVC envisions a hierarchy of control systems spanning the smart grid from generator to customer with advanced analytics to determine the optimal actions across a wide spectrum of system states. IBM ILOG® Optimization technology provides an essential component of these analytics.

With optimization, you can find novel solutions to your toughest planning and scheduling problems. This webcast will provide an overview of the Optimized Energy Value Chain with specific use cases to illustrate its potential applications. It will also demonstrate an example built with IBM ILOG ODM Enterprise and IBM ILOG JViews illustrating the use of distributed resources, distribution voltage controls, and demand response to alleviate a transmission bottleneck.

Dr. Jeremy Bloom, IBM Sr. Product Marketing Manager, ILOG Optimization Dr. Jeremy Bloom has more than 25 years of business experience applying operations research and optimization. He joined IBM/ILOG in 2007, serving as a Technical Account Manager and later as Product Marketing Manager for the optimization product line. Before that Dr. Bloom was a member of the research staff at the Electric Power Research Institute, a non-profit consortium of US and International utilities conducting advanced research for the power industry. While at EPRI, Dr. Bloom both managed and served as a technical contributor on a variety of programs including planning, market assessment, and asset management. In addition, Dr. Bloom was one of the founders and a principal of Primen, a start up company focused on market research and analysis for emerging retail electricity and gas markets. Prior to joining EPRI, Dr. Bloom worked for General Public Utilities (now part of First Energy) where he was responsible for demand-side management and retail market program design. Dr. Bloom taught Operations Research at Cornell University, where he conducted research on electric power planning. He was one of the principal developers of EPRI’s EGEAS resource planning model.
