Realisation of the Future Grid (Smart Grid, Future Grids)
"The SAE Media Group Realisation of the Future Grid conference had probably the best agenda of any of the conferences we have participated in lately, with a very high calibre of speakers and a great range of relevant, timely topics for today’s utility companies. The delegate profile was highly focused, and we had many interesting conversations over the networking breaks and at our booth in the exhibition area."

SAE Media Group’s Realisation of the Future Grid
conference has been created to bring together leading players in the UK and European DNO Smart Grid landscape for a thorough, in-depth review of Smart Grid deployment.

We will be discussing; Smart Grid infrastructure, distribution, security and interoperability challenges affecting the DNO industry.

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain strategic insight into the UK governments proposed initiatives, hear about the UK's first smart grid, and meet UK and European DNO's who are already establishing their next generation networks.

We have specifically provided several case studies across the two days of the program to further enhance your educational requirements.

This will be the first in our series of Utilities of the Future portfolio, bringing together industry leaders to discuss the development of a sustainable low carbon future.
 
Utility Endorsement:
EDF Energy is an industry leader in the move towards a low carbon economy: we’re already building a smart grid for the Olympic Park and our plans to develop a smart grid for the rest of London are now well advanced. The Realisation of the Future Grid event is important because smart grids will become a reality in the UK only if DNOs and other industry players get together to share their knowledge and expertise. These are exciting times for our industry and EDF Energy Networks is looking forward to playing a leading role in addressing the many challenges that lie ahead.’

    WHAT IS CPD?

    CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

    ‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

    CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

    Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

    CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

    CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

    There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

    For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

    CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

    TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

    Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

    ‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

    ‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

    The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

    As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

    GLOBAL CPD

    Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.

    CPD Certificates

    We can provide a certificate for all our accredited events. To request a CPD certificate for a conference , workshop, master classes you have attended please email events@saemediagroup.com
