Dr. Goodman will share the vision and potential of LF Energy to accelerate the decarbonization of our economies with a remote presentation via Zoom. Shuli Goodman is the founder and Executive Director of LF Energy, a Linux Foundation project that supports open source innovation in the energy and electricity sectors. LF Energy's ambition is to accelerate the energy transition and the decarbonization of the world's economies. Having spent the early part of her career enabling some of the world's largest companies in the world to become Internet ready, she has brought her digital-first, cross-industry background to the electricity sector. With a doctorate in Organizational Systems focused ion innovation and the energy transition, Shuli has a uniquely multi-disciplinary approach to solving complex, interdependent problems. She has nearly three decades experience in the startup and ongoing support of governance and multi-stakeholder engagement bodies that have been convened to enable decision-making and provide steering capacity for high-visibility and/or high-risk initiatives. Her goal is to inspire, train, and enable 10,000 developers, in the next 10 years, to digitally transform the world's power systems. Shuli lives in Graton, California. Linux Foundation Energy (LFE) is an open source initiative, focused on the power systems' sector, overseen and hosted at The Linux Foundation. LFE provides a neutral, collaborative environment to build the digital foundations that enable the 'electrification of everything to scale' to transform the world's relationship to energy. The digitalization of power systems enables a renewable and distributed energy future where wind, solar, batteries, and hydro provide the electrification capacity that enables humanity to address climate change, the transition to fossil-free transportation, and the urbanization of world populations. Lorenzo Kristov and colleagues develop policy proposals to accelerate decarbonization and create greater resilience by implementing advanced community energy systems throughout the state; was principal of market and infrastructure policy at California ISO 1999-2017; his work and publications envision a future highly distributed power system and address T-D coordination; open-access DSO models; layered grid architecture; infrastructure planning. Lorenzo lives in Davis. There is also a flyer available for this event, at: http://www.lugod.org/documents/flyers/lugod-2019-03-meeting.pdf Please print a copy and share! http://www.lugod.org/meeting/
