WMS IEEE PES/PELS in-person Presentation TUESDAY February 03, 2026, at 6:30 – 7:45 PM ALL MEMBERS, STUDENTS AND GUESTS INVITED Speaker: Daniel Mutuku “Large Power Transformer (>100 MVA) in the Grid – Trends and Challenges” Topic: IEEE WMS PES/PELS Presentation Time: February 03, 2026, 06:30 - 7:45 PM Eastern Time (US) Place: KEN 342, Kennedy Hall of Engineering, GVSU Doors open at 6:00 PM on the 3rd. Please join us in person. Daniel Mutuku is a husband, father, leader, and a professional electrical engineer licensed in the state of Michigan. Daniel is a Senior Engineer at Consumers Energy where he leads a group of electrical engineers working on capital projects at Consumers Energy generating plants, on the west side of Michigan. His experience on power generation includes designing systems in solar plants, hydro plants, gas combustion plants, coal plants and pumped storage plants. He received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in electrical engineering from Grand Valley State University and completed his MBA at WMU. In this presentation, Dan will present Large Power Transformer (>100 MVA) in power grid in USA. He will review the uses of large power transformers, current U.S. manufacturers, challenges these manufacturers face, lead times, and strategies buyers can use to mitigate these challenges. Please contact Dr. Rahman for parking information via [email protected] .

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.
