It appears 2021 will continue to look like how 2020 ended – offices will remain less than 25% occupied. Digital Workspaces will grow next year as half of the workforce will choose not to go back to the office. Remote workers will be looking for options to save money and consolidate their communication i.e. voice, text messaging, multimedia messaging and fax from any device in any location. Apps are increasing and will drive the cost of managing/monitoring these apps. Customers can benefit from one app that provides all their communications from a common dashboard with one number. We see this with many of our customers regardless of the industry they are in. The benefits of having a simple communication for each business are: - One number for all communications - Simple chat and SMS - Simple collaborations through video conferencing - Simple Analytics – data driven businesses are increasing - Simple Integration Every business will be finding ways to save money and be more profitable next year. IEEE is no different than other businesses. Education is the key to find ways to increase productivity and reduce expense. You don’t want to miss this informational session!

The Chicago Chapter and co-sponsoring EMCS units welcomes everyone to this informative and entertaining presentation about the roots of our profession. The practice of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is generally understood as beginning with the military in the 1950s. Work in the field was mostly limited to military applications until about 1980, when the FCC in the US and agencies in other countries responded to broadcast interference complaints by setting RF emission limits on commercial products. Though it wasn’t called EMC at the time, those techniques were applied in the late 19th century. Guglielmo Marconi’s company demonstrated wireless telegraphy to the British navy, hoping for a contract to sell the equipment. However, the spark-gap noise bursts transmitted by Marconi’s wireless limited communication to one pair of devices at a time and Marconi had to fix it in order to close the deal. The stories of ambition, salesmanship, and resourcefulness give a colorful backdrop to our work in EMC. In many ways, EMC practices can be traced back to the very beginning of the radio art. This talk will relate those stories and give a deeper perspective on the often unappreciated work of the EMC engineer.

By using computers for an increasing number of activities we continue to produce massive amounts of data that can be analyzed and used in multiple ways. In this presentation we’ll discuss what companies are doing with this data, the positives and negatives of these processes and the ethical implications of having access to so much information.

As hordes of data-hungry devices challenge its current capabilities, Wi-Fi strikes again with 802.11be, alias Wi-Fi 7. This brand-new amendment promises a (r)evolution of unlicensed wireless connectivity as we know it, unlocking access to gigabit, reliable and low-latency communications, and reinventing manufacturing and social interaction through digital augmentation. More than that, time-sensitive networking protocols are being put forth with the overarching goal of making wireless the new wired. With its standardization process being consolidated, we provide an updated digest of 802.11be essential features, place the spotlight on some of the must-haves for critical and delay-sensitive applications, and illustrate their benefits through standard-compliant simulations.

This has moved forward, so we get an update! Snohomish County PUD worked with Burns & McDonnel, Hitachi-ABB Powergrids and Mitsubishi Electric to design and build a microgrid near the Arlington, WA Airport. Despite multiple delays due to covid the project is on track for completion by end of 2021. This presentation will discuss the lessons learned and challenges of building a microgrid during a pandemic. The purpose of the Arlington microgrid is to demonstrate the multiple uses of battery energy storage with a focus on disaster recovery and renewable energy integration. The microgrid is also exploring the use of V2G (Vehicle to Grid) capable charging stations to experiment with using electric fleet vehicles to support the microgrid as just another form of energy storage. The project will look at the technical and financial challenges and reports will be completed to detail the economics of microgrids, battery storage and solar on the northwest grid. Presenter: Our speaker is Scott Gibson who is a Principal Engineer with Snohomish County PUD in the Generation Department. Scott is a graduate from the University of Wyoming where he received a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering in 1987. After graduation, Scott worked for Boeing, designing electrical power systems for airplanes, in addition to an engineering firm where he designed electrical systems for commercial buildings. In 2000, Scott joined Snohomish County PUD and started in the Power Quality and Energy Efficiency group, then moved to Distribution and finally to the Generation Department, where he’s been for seven years. Scott is now the Principal Engineer on all new electrical generation projects. Scott worked on the development of a Tidal Generation Project, is helping to design and construct two new “run of the river” Hydroelectric Projects and will now get to be the Project Manager for the PUD’s new Microgrid. https://www.snopud.com/reliability/ar-microgrid.ashx?p=3326 Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/286202
