  • VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES – APPLICATIONS & HARMONIC INSIGHTS

    Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/534855

    Robin's Priestley expertise is in Variable Frequency Drives (VFD's) of all sizes. VFD's are used to control motor speed in all types of industries. VFD's are used for reducing energy used in the motors for various applications. Saving energy is a concern for every industry. There are harmonics when a VFD is used and there are several methods in dealing with them. Learn about harmonics when a VFD is used and the methods to mitigate thoe harmonics. Previously Robin presented to the Section on Sustainability, (people-planet-producer) will be discussed from an engineering perspective. Good engineering promotes sustainability. Leveraging sustainability eases funding of engineering projects. When power quality disrupts production, sustainability is negatively impacted. Resources are wasted, production losses hurt the producer and the employees. The interrelationship of power, water/resources and asset utilization are intertwined inextricably to sustainability. In this discussion we will explore sustainability and power quality in a way that starts to unlock the marketing value you have at your disposal to help gain support for your projects. Robin could bring insights on industries needs from new graduates. One PDH will be available upon request after attendance.

  • Data-Centric Power System Analysis with Generative Models

    Room: BC112A, Bldg: D.J. Bordini Center at FVTC, 5 N. Systems Drive, Appleton, Wisconsin, United States, 54914

    Modern power systems increasingly rely on data-driven tools for load analysis, monitoring, and operational decision-making. However, utilities and system operators often face practical challenges such as limited data availability, missing measurements, privacy constraints, and difficulty capturing rare but critical events. These issues directly limit the effectiveness of advanced analytics in real-world deployments. This talk presents a series of generative and data-driven methods developed to address these challenges using real utility data. First, MultiLoad-GAN is introduced to generate realistic synthetic load profiles that preserve temporal behavior and customer-level diversity, enabling large-scale studies without exposing sensitive data. Second, BERT-PIN and related language-model-based approaches are demonstrated for restoring missing smart meter data, improving data quality for downstream tasks such as load forecasting and planning. Third, the application of pre-trained large language models (LLMs) is discussed, showing how they can be adapted for power system time-series problems with reduced data and training requirements. Finally, a VAE–GAN framework is presented for event detection and classification using synchrophasor data, enabling early identification of abnormal system behavior. This presentation will count for 1 Professional Development Hour (PDH) for the PE License in Wisconsin and Michigan. Speaker(s): Dr. Yi Hu , Agenda: 5:00 Featured Speaker - Dr. Yi Hu D.J.

    In 2026 we will offer ‘Officer Training’ to our ‘newly’ elected AND veteran officers and volunteers; as well as any IEEE member, at any grade level or position. Our wish is to help all gain a fuller awareness of the communication and management skills used within the IEEE, how they function and how to employ them both as IEEE officers, and in your everyday work and life. Classes: As an introduction to these skills, we will offer a sequence set of VIRTUAL classes supported by study materials available through the (https://r4.ieee.org/sem/) and the (https://ieee.learningpool.com/) The virtual classes will begin in the 2nd week of JANUARY 2026 and conclude end of FEBRUARY. Each class will be conducted as an overview of the topic ‘de jour’ and a discussion or Q&A session to answer questions and clarify issues. (See the agenda below:) Note: Space for these classes is not like outer space, it is limited, so you must register to receive the necessary codes and passwords to attend.
