IEEE RRVS: Jan 2025 Meeting

Room: 1308, Bldg: Woodward Technology Center (WTC), 3301 N Mulford Rd,, Rockford, Illinois, United States, 61114

Join us the IEEE RRVS CCS & IAS, WIE, YP, Life members chapter Meeting at 6pm. TITLE: Drivers and Enablers of Power Electronics Technology in Aerospace. Program: The increasing demand for high efficiency is driving the aerospace industry to apply electrical energy more extensively across a range of applications. Electrical power is being utilized in areas such as vertical and winged propulsion, flight and environmental controls, utility actuation, taxiing, de-icing, and anti-icing, each at varying levels of maturity. Additionally, the need for higher efficiency electrical circuits requires higher voltages, currents, and frequencies than current aerospace standards allow. The shift from using electric generators to batteries as energy storage devices is transforming power distribution to High Voltage DC (HVDC), replacing the conventional 400Hz and variable frequency AC distribution systems. These changes are driving new requirements for electrical system architecture and the associated components. These drivers necessitate enabling technologies from material sciences, high efficiency components , and advanced algorithms to address the challenges faced by the industry. This presentation will discuss the underlying physics behind the drivers listed above and some of the enabling technologies being researched to address the industry’s evolving demand About the Speaker: Dr. Waleed Said Dr Experienced Technologist with a demonstrated history of working in the aviation and aerospace industry. Skilled in Power Systems Design & Development, Root Cause Analysis, Motor Control, and Strategic Leadership. Strong controls technology professional with a Master’s and a PhD degrees focused in Electrical and Power Electronics Engineering from Loughborough University in the UK. Agenda: 6:00 PM Gathering, Networking 6:15 PM Dinner 7:15 PM Presentation starts 8:30 PM Adjourn Room: 1308, Bldg: Woodward Technology Center (WTC), 3301 N Mulford Rd,, Rockford, Illinois, United States, 61114

Coordination of the Water Supply System and the Power Grid to Support System Performance

Room: BC141, Bldg: D.J. Bordini Center at FVTC, 5 N. Systems Drive, Appleton, Wisconsin, United States, 54914

Large amounts of renewable energy sources (e.g., solar photovoltaics and wind power) and new electric loads (e.g., plug-in electric vehicles) are being added to the electric power grid in a push to mitigate the effects of climate change. Due to the intermittent and uncertain nature of these resources, more flexibility is needed to ensure safe operating conditions of the power grid. A growing body of research has shown that real-time control of flexible electric loads can provide flexibility to the power grid. The water supply system (including drinking water distribution and wastewater treatment processes) can be treated as flexible, controllable assets. For instance, the power consumption of water supply pumps in drinking water distribution networks and biogas electricity generation can be shifted in time given the storage capabilities of water and pressurized gas tanks, respectively. In this talk, I will present an optimization framework to optimally schedule and control assets within the water supply system to provide services to power networks. Throughout the talk, I will discuss the associated benefits and drawbacks of the integrated water-power optimization framework, with a particular focus on performance, resilience, and computational tractability.
