LOCATION The power plant is located at 347 E. Washington Ave., Zeeland MI 49464. Parking Tour attendees are encouraged to carpool where possible due to limited parking in the area. Our tour guide will send us instructions on where to park and where to meet for the tour prior to the tour date. When we receive those instructions, we will send them to you in either another eNotice, or directly to the email addresses of those signed up to attend. Tour We are limited to 20 visitors. Each active IEEE or WMCN member signing up for the tour may also sign up one or two non-IEEE/WMCN guests. Guests must be at least 14 years old. The tour begins at 10:00 AM. It is anticipated that we will meet at 350 E. Washington Ave, which is their office located across the street from the power plant. The exact meeting location will be announced later as noted above. Plan to arrive between 9:45 and 10:00 AM. Clothing & Footwear Restrictions Full length pants and secure footwear are required. No shorts, no flip-flops. Attire is otherwise casual. Optional Lunch After the tour, those interested will meet for lunch at Frank’s Restaurant located at 134 E. Main Ave in Zeeland. IEEE and WMCN member’s lunch will be paid for by our WMS.

It was built in 1935 and upgraded during the 1950’s through the 1980’s. They currently have 7 internal combustion generating units with capacities ranging from 1 to 6 Megawatts. Total capacity is 24 Megawatts. The power units can use both natural gas (primary) and diesel (secondary). The facility is a “peaking” facility in that it is only placed online when the demand for electricity exceeds the 930 Megawatt capacity of the nearby Consumers Energy Generating Plant on N. Fairview Rd in Zeeland. RSVP REQUESTED RSVP to Larry Postema (WMS LMAG Chair) at [email protected] (616-306- 0040). Include your cell or home phone number, names of any guests you plan to bring, and whether or not you and/or any guest(s) plan to attend the optional lunch.

[] Google search for the term ‘software defined vehicles’ returned about 646M results in 0.33 seconds. The automotive industry is awash with this new buzz phrase. In their report “Rewiring car electronics and software architecture for the Roaring 2020s,” futurists from McKinsey & Company are heralding sweeping industry transformation both technically and commercially. We, GM, are making a splash with our Ultifi Platform that reimagines what it means to own and experience a vehicle and to grow revenue beyond vehicle sales. But what does all this mean for our vehicles – where the rubber meets the road, literally?! This talk will explore the software defined future from a vehicle point of view. Using examples of core vehicle functions like motion control – embedded software that makes our vehicles stop, turn & go – we will dive into the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead and how we can all engage and shape this exciting future.

[] Modern weather forecasting is a computationally intensive activity, relying on expensive data sources like satellites and Doppler radar. This presentation explores an alternative, low-cost approach using machine learning to predict local weather conditions. By leveraging historical METAR data (routine reports published by airports), we can train a deep neural network to find predictive patterns that are difficult to discern with other methods. This talk will detail the complete project lifecycle: from acquiring and cleansing over 7.5 million METAR records to the design, training, and tuning of the neural network using Pylorch. An emphasis is placed on explaining the steps generally used to develop machine learning applications. We will cover feature engineering, model architecture, and the results, which show the model can predict temperature 30 hours out with a Mean Absolute Error of about 2.6°C. While not matching the precision of state-of-the-art global systems, this method produces a reasonably accurate forecast using minimal resources, demonstrating the power of machine learning to create effective solutions without the need for supercomputers. At the close of the talk, we will demonstrate the tool in its current form. This presentation will count for 1 Professional Development Hour (PDH) for the PE License in Wisconsin and Michigan.

Abstract: In many applications, machine learning involves managing data across multiple devices without the availability of a central server, necessitating a decentralized learning approach. In such settings, nodes are susceptible to failures from malfunctions or cyberattacks, which can undermine traditional learning algorithms. This paper addresses the robustification of decentralized learning amidst Byzantine failures, where nodes can arbitrarily deviate, threatening system stability. Prior works have utilized ad-hoc methods akin to robust statistics; however, we propose a formal integration of robust statistical principles into the learning process for a more systematic approach. We introduce BRIDGE, a scalable Byzantine-resilient decentralized machine learning framework, designed to fortify resilience and offer structured analysis against Byzantine behaviors. BRIDGE comes with algorithmic and statistical convergence guarantees for both strongly convex and select nonconvex problems. Our experiments validate BRIDGE's scalability and effectiveness, underscoring its robustness and showcasing the benefits of incorporating robust statistics into decentralized learning systems formally.
