Featured event:
Florida Atlantic University and FPL unveiled the newly established “FPL Center for Intelligent Energy Technologies” (InETech) at the university’s Boca Raton campus. The InETech Center, a first-of-its-kind artificial intelligence-enabled center, is designed to mimic FPL’s control center for smart grid – a complex power generation, transmission and distribution network – that uses leading-edge technology to predict and prevent future outages.
