The IEEE PES Student Branch Chapter at UoM is pleased to invite you to the annual PES Day Celebration Event for 2020. This online event includes a webinar: The Future of Power and Energy, talks on the global and local impact of the IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES), the benefits of PES membership and a panel discussion: Affordable and Clean Energy to the Community.
You are invited to the Section’s online AGM Meeting scheduled on Friday 24th April 2020 at 11am.
The use of location data and contact tracing apps in response to COVID19 has raised questions around societal values and trade-offs. This presentation will consider how the pandemic is impacting human rights, with a focus on the rights to privacy and data protection.
The Internet of Things (IoT) deployments offer a much higher value proposition if these can function in the context of smart buildings. This webinar will explore such advanced information and communication technology (ICT) applications in commercial buildings, schools, libraries, shopping centres, etc. demonstrating how they offer low cost but highly effective monitoring and control opportunities.
Efforts in the electric power sector to replace fossil fuel with renewables and nuclear will help to reduce emissions and large scale Electric Vehicle deployment will help, but question remains – how will the EV be powered?
This talk will highlight the importance of dynamic estimation and control of power networks for their stable operation. It will discuss both centralised and decentralised options with future research challenges and opportunities highlighted.
The first part of this seminar will provide an introduction to power quality concerns, by reviewing definitions, standards, sources of power quality problems, and available mitigating solutions. In the second part, an overview of ongoing research projects in this area will be provided. The main topics addressed are: modelling of power electronics converters for harmonic assessment, harmonic mitigation, deep learning applied to power quality analytics, power quality in dc microgrids and power quality assessment for tidal energy projects.
