The best leaders don’t rely on organizational hierarchy to get people to follow them; they’ve mastered the hard and soft skills to get people to want to follow them. In this presentation you will get 12 easy to understand leadership lessons to effectively lead teams and get followers to follow you not because they have to, but because they want to. Leadership Lessons: - Humor - Credibility = Doofus - Knowledge - Listening = Arrogance - Action - Integrity = Distrust - Activity - Focus = Randomness - Wisdom - Experience = Theory - Ability - Effort = Inaction - Leadership - Inspiration = Administration - Charisma - Conviction = Crooked Politician - Courage - Predictability = Recklessness - Smarts - Direction = Absent-Minded Professor - Communication - Candor = Storyteller - Decisiveness - Empathy = Ruthlessness Co-sponsored by: Puget Sound PMI Speaker(s): Lonnie Pacelli, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/283688

Power flow control techniques have been practiced, from using inductors, capacitors, transformers and load tap changers in the earlier days of electrical engineering to power electronics-based solutions in recent years. Even though the costs and complexities of the available solutions vary widely, the basic underlying theory of power flow control is still the same as it always has been. The question is which solution one should employ. The answer depends on knowing what the true need is. The power industry’s pressing need for the most economical ways to transfer bulk power along a desired path may be met by building new transmission lines, which is a long and costly process. Alternately, it may be quicker and cheaper to utilize the existing transmission lines more efficiently. The key is to identify the underutilized transmission lines and harness their dormant capacity to increase the power flows to the lines’ thermal limits. The presentation is designed to provide the basic principles of power flow control theory, an overview of the most commonly used power flow controllers, and future trends. The audience will hear from an expert who actually designed and commissioned a number of power electronics-based FACTS controllers since their inception in the 1990s Speaker(s): Kalyan K. Sen, PhD, PE, MBA, IEEE Fellow, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/282280

Green hydrogen produced by splitting water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable sources is expected to play a major role in the transition to carbon neutral economy, serving as an energy carrier that can facilitate the penetration of an higher share of intermittent renewable energy, the decarburization of hard-to-abate industrial sectors (e.g. industrial processes which require high- grade heating or rely on hydrogen as a feedstock) and the cross-sectorial coupling (linking power, gas and other energy vectors or energy intensive commodities and replacing them in their respective usages). The baseline technology for green hydrogen production is called water electrolysis, where renewable power is applied to break the chemical bonds in water molecules and produce hydrogen and oxygen simultaneously at two electrodes, cathode and anode, in alkaline or acidic solution. The coupled generation of hydrogen and oxygen at the same time in the same cell presents a safety risk, since the mixture of the two is highly flammable. Therefore, a membrane and sealing are used to isolate the electrodes from each other, which complicates cell construction and requires maintenance, both increasing the production cost of green hydrogen. In addition, severe (20-30%) energy losses, mostly due to the difficult reaction that evolves oxygen, increase the cost of energy in this energy intensive technology. These drawback present challenges for wide scale adoption of green hydrogen. In order to overcome these challenges, we develop an alternative technology that decouples the generation of hydrogen and oxygen into two stages, separated by time, or two cells, space separated, avoiding the need for membrane and sealing. In addition, we divide the oxygen evolution reaction, a difficult electrochemical reaction that requires four electrons to generate an oxygen molecule on an atomic reaction site, into two sub-reactions that occur on four sites instead of one, thereby enabling easier reactions and saving most of the losses in water electrolysis. An ultrahigh efficiency of nearly 99% was demonstrated at lab scale, and we expect reaching 95% at system scale. To bring this transformative concept to reality we established H 2 Pro, and Israeli company that aims to provide green hydrogen at scale based on our innovation.
