00:01You know, cooperation is always a positive issue because there is like a joke in mathematics.
00:15You say one and one is more than two. So this is exactly the issue that IEEE, PS,
00:24the biggest organization in the Americas and also worldwide. And SIGRE, the oldest organization
00:32with more than 25,000 members, more international, I would say, place, they are very, very complementary.
00:43IEEE is more on the maybe on the academic side, maybe on the standard side.
00:49SIGRE is more on the practical side, on the development side.
00:54And I think our common goal is knowledge sharing.
00:59And this can, again, I come to the equation, it's easier achieved if two people are sharing,
01:06two organizations, sharing the same principles, having the same goals, work together,
01:13and particularly at these times, at these critical times, at these exciting times, we live where it is absolutely necessary
01:21to achieve the energy transition without losing efficiently and doubling efforts.
01:28I think that's the big value of IEEE, PS, and SIGRE.
01:32We can align each other and share responsibilities with a joint goal.
01:38Well, thank you. I think, first of all, thank you for having PES and our PES team here.
01:44This is a wonderful event. And it is also my first time here in SIGRE, Paris.
01:49But not the last, I hope.
01:50No, I will be back for sure.
01:52You know, as you mentioned that IEEE, PS, and SIGRE work together would be fantastic in terms of knowledge sharing,
02:01in terms of sharing passions, and also promoting the energy and also to the young people coming to work for
02:09us in the energy sector.
02:11That's for sure.
02:12The other thing you did mention about, like, academia and also for SIGRE is much more on the practical side.
02:20Totally agree.
02:21And then on PES side, we are also getting into the industrial engagement with the industries as well
02:26to make sure that, hey, the standards are here, use our standard.
02:30Work together with SIGRE as well to promote more collaboration in terms of standard, work group sharing,
02:37and also lesson learned, and having industry people here to also share with people in the academia what they're looking
02:44for, right?
02:45And as you mentioned, collaborations is a great thing.
02:49Competitions, why should we compete?
02:51Collaboration is always better.
02:53The other thing you mentioned about standard, I would say that let's make sure that IEEE, PS, and SIGRE to
02:59make sure one plus one is equal to two,
03:00not three for sure, because that was not good for our power grid, that's for sure.
03:05One more thing is also, you know, a lot of people say that if you do certain things,
03:10try certain things new without a standard, it is an experiment, right?
03:14So we're both organizations to share standards, build standards together.
03:18And then with that standard, it will help to regulate and standardize the interconnections
03:23and all the implementations and also technology development.
03:27Especially in this case, we have data center situations, we have interconnectivity situations.
03:32So I think having both IEEE and SIGRE to work together to share all the knowledge and to help to
03:39deliver a good standard
03:40where everybody around the world, every sector around the world can use our standard to make things much more consistent,
03:46much more reliable, and then after that, you know, promote a better world.
03:50As you mentioned, how many worlds we have?
03:53There's only Plan A and no...
03:56Plan B, because there's no Planet B.
04:00That's right.
04:01Yeah.
04:02Well, first of all, thank you for having us in this One Grid Pavilion.
04:06It is a great event to showcase that, hey, we're all PES, SIGRE are one grid together,
04:14or so-called one family together.
04:16Collaboration is great.
04:17What we're trying to also promote is like, let's minimize the silo, right?
04:21Because I think that I understand, what I learned, that you have close to 16 work groups, like A1, B5,
04:27C4.
04:28There's all good work groups.
04:30And then we, IEEE, PES also have a lot of work groups, a lot of standards.
04:34So together, we join forces about sharing all the information together and sharing all the lessons learned together and help
04:42to promote much more consistency throughout, you know, the practicality, throughout the applications on all the standards we have.
04:49That's why, like, having this One Grid Pavilion here is fantastic.
04:53At the same time, we also want to showcase that for folks that are not aware about our collaboration, we
05:00want to show that, hey, we are here to support as well.
05:03We are here to be part of this One Grid Pavilion together, for sure.
05:08This is fantastic.
05:11I am very happy that you jumped on this train, of this One Grid train, who is moving very, very
05:17fast.
05:17And I have to say it's One Grid, it's One World, and we don't have another choice again.
05:25It's the same issue with the One Grid.
05:27I mean, and you mentioned something about minimizing the silos.
05:32I would like to add, we have to destroy the silos.
05:35That's for sure.
05:36There are no silos anymore, neither within the technology, in particular in the Grid, and neither between the organizations.
05:45Individual thinking and individual handling was yesterday.
05:50Today and in the future, we want and we have, we must work together.
05:57And one other reason is, as everybody knows, that there is no lack of capital, there is no lack of
06:07projects, there is no lack of ideas.
06:11One big thing missing is the lack of people.
06:15Yes.
06:15And I think this is, in my view, one of the main issues we have to address.
06:21We cannot afford to have two people working on the same thing because we don't cooperate with each other.
06:29That's, for me, the great value and the pillar of our cooperation, and I am very happy about it.
06:36I would like to add on top of what you say about people.
06:38Like these days, we're facing a lot of workforce challenges, correct?
06:42And I also learned that Siegret have the NGN, the next generations, and PES also have the young professionals.
06:49I think it would be great for those younger people to come together to share knowledge, to share leadership, to
06:54share vision, to spark a better idea to work together, right?
06:59So that's one thing as well.
07:01We also like to also say that, hey, let's combine it, it's better than doing it by itself, correct?
07:08Right.
07:09So totally, we would like to destroy the silo as much as we can.
07:12And there will be only one world for sure.
07:14Definitely.
07:15Yep.
07:16Very well said.
07:18I fully agree.
07:19Yep.
07:19Fully agree.
07:20That's it.
07:21One grid.
07:22One grid.
07:23Yeah.
07:23One world.
07:24One world.
