CEATI International Inc. brings electrical utility industry professionals together, through focused interest groups and collaborative projects, to identify and address technical issues that are critical to their organizations. Participants can undertake projects that respond to their strategic goals at a fraction of the cost of doing so independently. The need for international breadth and inter-industry applicability in technology development is addressed through a practical, dynamic and cost effective program.

The workshop will present an overview of planning philosophy, from present to future, specifically related to smart grid planning. Over a series of four sessions, discussions will focus on distribution planning for the 21st century.

• Distribution Planning for the 21st Century
• Planning for a Smarter Grid
• Integrating Renewables into the Distribution System
• Planning to Manage Reliability
