    ELLEN PETRILL, Director, Public/Private Partnerships, Electric Power Research Institute
    Not only do devices and equipment powered by electricity need to become more energy efficient, they need to be able to respond to price and other key signals to manage electricity during peak periods. Imagine if devices could communicate with the power delivery system to manage their electricity usage, and network together to optimize system usage. This session describes dynamic energy management as envisioned by EPRI, and the research initiative being launched this winter.
