2nd Annual IEEE Green Technology Conference

The 2nd Annual IEEE Green Technologies Conference is being held in Grapevine, Texas on April 15-16, 2010 at the Gaylord Texas Resort and Convention Center. This IEEE conference features a variety of papers, presentations, and technical seminars on current and emerging topics related specifically to the development and use of Green Technologies.

Green Technology Conference Focus

• Current and emerging technologies in large and small-scale renewable energy sources - wind, solar, water, geothermal, tidal, piezoelectric, and others - and their integration
• Current and emerging technologies in alternative fuel technologies - bio-mass fuel production, landfill gas reclamation, nuclear, fuel cells and batteries, and others
• Current and emerging technologies in alternate vehicular power sources - fuel cells, hybrid electric, plug-in electric and hybrid, and other transportation alternatives
• Technologies and their integration used for energy usage reduction and conservation - home automation and energy management, commercial building energy management, reduced energy usage lighting, and use and integration of multiple energy alternatives
• Current and emerging technologies to facilitate the integration and management of renewable and reduced emission energy sources into the electric power grid
• The social, economic, and political impacts of renewable energies, reduced emissions, and independent certifications

Held directly following the Green Technologies conference is the IEEE Region 5 Business Meeting. This meeting event includes an opportunity for college students to compete in a number of technical activities: robotics, circuit design, technical paper, and engineering ethics competitions. Additional information regarding these competitions may be found on the website beginning in early August 2009.
