IEEE WIE Ottawa at REV UP: an Interactive Day of Insight and Inspiration for Women-Identified Prospective Engineering and IT Students

This event is designed for women and femme-identified folks
who are interested in pursuing engineering and IT at Carleton
University! In teams, you will be paired up with our women-identified
student ambassadors for specialty tours, insights
and activities. Who better to hear from than those who have experienced
it all? Plus, we’re holding an informative panel discussion with
talented women in engineering and IT – students and alumnae – who have
excelled in STEM. IEEE WIE Ottawa will be hosting
an expo booth there!

This event includes a free lunch and free on-campus parking.

AI in Modern Power and Energy Systems @ Room 4359, Mackenzie Building
Mar 4 @ 18:00 – 19:30

Driven by global environmental emission issues and tighter requirements for system resilience and reliability, electricity production is shifting from a centralized paradigm to a decentralized one. In this context, renewable energy sources (RES) and electric vehicles (EVs) have proliferated over the past decade, exhibiting a steadily increasing trend. Thus, today, a large number of wind turbines, photovoltaic (PV) panels, and EVs are connected to medium- (1-69 kV) and low-voltage (=1 kV) grids, with traditional integrated bulk power systems becoming decentralized in the presence of active distribution networks, where the flow of power is bidirectional between generators and “prosumers”. Such systems are typified by high penetration of metering infrastructures, generating a large volume of data, providing the opportunity to harness the power of big data using data-driven techniques.

This seminar discusses the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in modern power and energy systems, in particular electrical distribution networks. Real-world examples of the use of AI for energy storage systems optimization and control will be provided and discussed.

Key Focus
