IEEE POWER ENGINEERING SOCIETY ENERGY DEVELOPMENT AND POWER GENERATING COMMITTEE PANEL SESSION: GLOBAL POWER SYSTEMS FOR SUSTAINABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT Sponsored by: International Practices for Energy Development and Power Generation Subcommittee

This paper serves as an introduction to the panel session on “Global power system for sustainable development”. The concept of sustainability is not limited to the use of renewable energy sources; rather it extends to all levels in a power system. In the panel, sustainable development in the generation, transmission, distribution and consumption of electric energy will be discussed. Crucial issues like use and control of energy storage and application of power electronics in the sustainable grid will be discussed. In an attempt at treating these issues in a global perspective, the situation of developing countries and solutions for their electrification will also be discussed.
