WASHINGTON — Electricity grid modernization movement leaders Bob Galvin and Kurt Yeager will be sharing their new book, Perfect Power: How the Microgrid Revolution Will Unleash Cleaner, Greener and More Abundant Energy at a special book signing and reception during GridWeek on Tuesday, September 23, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. For more information about the book, visit www.galvinpower.org.
On Wednesday, September 24, Yeager will participate in a GridWeek roundtable exclusively for media about the role renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind and geothermal, play in smart grid electricity distribution systems, and the impact of our aging electric power system on the climate change crisis. Yeager will be joined by ABB Inc. Senior Vice President and head of Power Products division Greg Scheu, and other energy experts.
The Galvin Electricity Initiative — launched and funded by Bob Galvin — has brought together leading electricity experts to reconstruct our electric power system into one that is much more reliable, efficient, secure, cleaner and affordable. The Initiative has created innovative business and technological blueprints for the ultimate smart grid — a Perfect Power System that meets the needs of 21st century consumers and provides reliable, secure electricity regardless of nature’s wrath or security threats. This bold new approach — the smart microgrid —is chronicled in the book, Perfect Power.
