Register to attend this 1-hour live Zoom webinar with speaker Reinaldo Tonkoski, Assistant Professor, Haskell Power Professorship at the University of Maine. This presentation will explore the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the modeling, control, and operation of power systems to decarbonize the electric grid. It will highlight how AI can be utilized to increase the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid while avoiding any integration issues. The talk will present innovative solutions and best practices for using AI to make power systems more efficient, reliable, and sustainable. By showcasing the potential of AI in this area, the presentation will demonstrate how it can play a key role in creating a more sustainable and equitable energy system for all.

For many years, Superconductor Cables have been considered a potentially powerful new tool for electric utility engineers. Since the 1986 discovery of High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) materials that can be economically cooled with inexpensive liquid nitrogen, the utility industry has been highly interested in the technology. In 2000, the first trial demonstration of an HTS cable occurred in Carrollton, Georgia; followed by dozens of further demonstrations in the USA, Europe, Japan, Korea, and other countries. In 2014, the first permanent, continuously utilized HTS cable was installed in Essen, Germany where it has operated flawlessly for 6 years. Other permanent projects have since been planned in Korea and are under consideration in many countries. In May of 2019, the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved the classification of this project as being a transmission asset and a cost recovery plan for the first permanent HTS cable installation in North America with Commonwealth Edison (ComEd) in Chicago. With project ground-breaking occurring in July 2020 and energized in Summer of 2021, this project represents commercial adoption of the technology and is already driving many US electric utilities to educate and investigate this proven and newly available technology. This presentation will be given by Michael Ross, Managing Director of Superconductor Power Systems for AMSC. The presentation will include the following discussions: - Background of High Temperature Superconductor Cable Technology - Review of Cable Components and Accessories - Features and Applications of HTS Cables on Utility Systems - Benefits of HTS Cables for Urban Utilities - Improved Resiliency & Reliability - Capacity Increases - System Modernization - Review of ComEd’s Active HTS Cable Project in Chicago Speaker(s): Michael Ross, Agenda: 11:00 AM Technical Presentation 11:45 AM Questions and Answers 12:00 PM Adjournment Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/354143

Come hear IEEE 2023 MTT-S Distinguished Lecturer (DL) Dr. Jasmin Grosinger's presentation on her work in ultra-low power wireless systems. In the Connectivity for Everything that will come with 6G, there will be a massive deployment of wireless nodes (estimates of (10^7 devices)/(km^2)) and engineers are working on the RF design challenges to address the sustainibility issues at both the environmental and economic level that will come with such a deployment. This presentation will show how these issues are being addressed, and will be very interesting to MTT/AP-S members as well as all in the IEEE. Dr. Grosinger brings over 10 years of micowave/RF experience, in both academic R&D and industry in Austria, the US, and Germany to her role as an IEEE MTT-S DL. See the full presentation abstract below. Everyone is welcome, from practitioner to retiree, and student. IEEE events are open to all; you do not have to be a member to attend.

Abstract RF DESIGN FOR ULTRA-LOW-POWER WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS: EFFICIENTLY MINIATURIZING AND PASSIVELY SENSING In this talk, I will present radio frequency (RF) design solutions for wireless sensor nodes to solve sustainability issues in the Internet of things (IoT), which arise due to the massive deployment of wireless IoT nodes on environmental and economic levels. Engineers can apply these RF design solutions to improve the ultra-low-power operation of IoT nodes, avoid batteries’ eco-toxicity, and decrease maintenance costs due to battery replacement. The presented solutions offer high integration levels based on system-on-chip and system-in-package concepts in low-cost complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technologies to limit costs and carbon footprints of these nodes. Within this research context, I will present solutions for ultra-low-power wireless communication systems based on high frequency (HF) and ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies. In particular, I will present RF design solutions for HF and UHF RFID systems that reveal how to develop passive miniaturized IoT nodes that operate robustly in harsh application environments and how to create batteryless or rather passive IoT nodes, which provide passive sensing capabilities and work robustly in their respective application environment.

Having a secure and reliable system is key in ensuring connectivity for daily operations, identifying faults, communication during natural disasters and future smart initiatives. By creating a Private LTE network brings control back to the utilities from the public carriers. There are many new areas and technologies that have been enabled through use of different RF bands ranging from 600mHZ to 6.0 Ghz that will enable utilities to maintain protection and control while also gathering data to make better operational decisions. From EV chargers to AMI Meters, technology has adapted and so now do utilities. Speaker(s): Jason “J.T.” Mills, , ***CANCELED*** Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/356924
