The IEEE Central Indiana Joint PES/PELS/IAS Chapter is pleased to host Dr. Yangmin Ding from NEC Laboratories America for an insightful webinar on Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) technology and its latest applications in power grid monitoring. One PDH will be available to those who attend the entire webinar. Abstract: As modern power grids face increasing challenges-from aging infrastructure and extreme weather to cybersecurity threats and the rise of distributed energy resources (DERs)-utilities need real-time, high-resolution monitoring solutions to enhance reliability and resilience. Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) is emerging as a transformative technology that leverages existing fiber-optic networks to provide continuous, wide-area visibility of grid assets without requiring additional power or sensors. In this talk, I will explore how DFOS enables utilities to detect and localize anomalies in real-time, from faults and mechanical stress on power utility infrastructures to environmental impacts like rainfall, icing, and temperature changes. I will also discuss how DFOS enhances predictive maintenance, physical security, and storm preparedness, ultimately helping grid operators make faster, data-driven decisions. Through real-world case studies, I will highlight how utilities are deploying DFOS to improve operational efficiency, reduce downtime, and strengthen grid resilience.

[]IEEE Senior Member is the highest IEEE member grade for which IEEE members can apply and does not incur any additional cost or fees. The Senior Member grade is a way for the IEEE members to receive recognition for their professional experience and significant performance in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, and the related fields including Computer Science and Information Technology, Physical Sciences, Biological and Medical Sciences, Mathematics, Technical Communications, Education, Management, Law, and Policy. The advancement to Senior Member provides the IEEE members with significant and distinct benefits. These benefits include the eligibility to hold Executive IEEE Volunteer Positions and getting recognition of your peers for technical and professional excellence. Newly elevated senior members will also receive an engraved senior member plaque from IEEE. Senior Member Elevation: IEEE SEM Section Membership Committee will reprise its Senior Member Elevation event, on March 8th, 2025 between 10:00 AM and 11:30 PM (HYBRID - In Person and online). Afterwards - we will go have Pizza. Senior Member Reviewers will assist interested member candidates with at least 10 years of experience in their profession. The way it works is: At least a 10 years of significant experience with BS degree needs be be established to initiate the senior membership elevation. (A Ph.D is considered to be 5 years of significant experience and a master degree is considered to be 2 years of significant experience. The remaining 5 (with PhD) to 8 (with MS degree) years of significant experience should be established from the member experience in his/her profession to initiate and submit applications for Senior Member Elevation.) Note: There is no cost to becoming a Senior Member, and this step is a necessary prelude to seeking the IEEE ‘Fellow’ level. For a complete description of the Senior Member process and its benefits, see the link at: https://www.ieee.org/membership_services/membership/grade_elevation.html To (https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/461460)for "Elevation" Time Slot, please(https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/461460)for the event and consider contacting existing senior members/fellows as references; also bring an electronic copy of your resume, and relevant supporting materials (list of papers published, standards work done, patents, senior/leadership positions, etc.).

The IEEE Central Indiana Joint PES/PELS/IAS Chapter is excited to host Dr. Zhaoyu Wang, a Full Professor from Iowa State University, for a PES seminar on big data analytics in power distribution grids. Attendees will have the opportunity to gain valuable insights from an industry expert, enjoy free pizza, and earn 1 PDH. Don't miss this excellent chance to learn and engage in discussions with a leading professional in the field! Abstract: Recent years have seen a dramatic growth of smart sensors in power distribution grids. The new sensing capabilities, offered by smart meters, micro-phasor measurement units, and SCADA, have extended utilities’ visibility to grid edges. However, the power industry faces new challenges in managing the massive amount of data and extracting useful and actionable information from the measurements. This talk will present a few use cases of distribution grid data. The first one is using SCADA data for measurement and verification (M&V) of the energy saving effect of conservation voltage reduction (CVR). The work is based on a recently published IEEE Standard P3102 CVR Data Collection and Management Procedures. The second one is using various outage records to quantify grid resilience and provide metrics to guide planning and operation. The third one is using smart meter data to develop a model-free framework for dynamic solar hosting capacity analysis.
