Co-sponsored by: University of Washington - Seattle Agenda: Snohomish County PUD – Recently created a new department which will focus on clean energy technologies to help prepare for the future. The new department is called Energy Storage and Emerging Technologies and is just 10 months old. Our first big projects will be the state’s largest battery energy storage system – a 25MW/100MWh lithium-ion battery located in Arlington, Washington -and – a microgrid with the Tulalip Tribes which will utilize solar and lithium Ion battery storage. These new systems are needed to provide carbon-free generation capacity to meet load growth due to electrification of buildings and transportation, an ever-increasing population, colder winters, and hotter summers. We use to add generation and/or capacity with gas fired peaking plants -but- the Washington Clean Energy Transformation Act – CETA - is requiring that Washington electric utilities be 100% carbon free by 2045. During the past 10 years the PUD has constructed and operated a 2MW lithium-ion battery storage system, a 2MW vanadium flow battery and a microgrid that included stationary and mobile energy storage (V2G – Vehicle-to-grid) .

Join us for a session on Smart Cities Paris France. What makes this City one of the top in the world? Find out how their hosting of the Olympic Games this year 2024 is sustainable, resilient, and energy efficient for years to come. Paris isn't just a smart city -- it's the world's original smart city, thanks to a massive rebuilding of infrastructure and technology in the mid-19th century. But will being a smart city help it succeed as host of the 2024 Olympics? The answer is a qualified yes -- because many of the improvements undertaken during the reign of Napoleon III remain powerful driving forces in 21st-century Paris. Based on my research as the co-author of "Smart Cities, Smart Future (Wiley 2018), my talk will clearly explain what makes a city genuinely smart and I'll show why Paris can rightfully call itself a smart city.

Wireless communication is fundamental to our digital society, with radio spectrum the key enabling resource. Understanding the critical role of spectrum provides deep insight into how wireless technologies function and how they will evolve. This enlightening talk delves into the ingenious advancements in Wi-Fi and cellular networks to harness spectrum, including increasing efficiency, deploying new bands, aggregating channels, and dynamically sharing spectrum. Despite huge progress, formidable challenges remain in meeting soaring demands for capacity, achieving global harmonization, and ensuring coexistence with existing services. Highlights of this session include: - The tradeoffs between different types of spectrum bands - Spectrum innovations in Wi-Fi and 5G to improve performance and reliability - Forecasts illustrating the insatiable demand for more spectrum - Balancing the scales between Wi-Fi and 5G allocations - Insights from the World Radio Communication Conference (WRC) 23 - Details on the recently announced U.S. National Spectrum Strategy - United States versus the rest of the world in spectrum assignments and associated risks - Lessons learned and the future of Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) - Pioneering approaches in dynamic spectrum sharing Biography Peter Rysavy, the president of Rysavy Research LLC, has led the consulting firm since 1993, focusing on computer networking, wireless technology, and mobile computing. His firm's wide range of projects include spectrum and capacity analysis, wireless technology evolution reports, network security assessments, strategic consultations, system design, article and report writing, course and webcast development, network performance measurements, and serving as an expert in patent litigation. Over his career, Peter has published 200 articles and reports and worked with over 100 organizations. Additionally, he served as the executive director of the Wireless Technology Association from 2000 to 2016, focusing on evaluating wireless technologies, studying mobile communications architectures, and advocating for wireless data interoperability.
