"What Crosses Your Mind When You Hear 'Acoustics'? Beyond Studios and Auditoriums!" When an engineer mentions their expertise in acoustics, many people immediately think of recording studios and auditoriums. However, acoustics encompasses a much broader spectrum of knowledge! In this presentation, I will explore both the evident and less apparent aspects of sound, including its generation, propagation, and how humans perceive it. But that's not all! Acoustics has diverse applications in engineering, extending far beyond the conventional ones we encounter daily, like consumer audio, nondestructive testing, and underwater exploration. Prepare to be intrigued as I delve into some unique and emerging acoustics applications, such as thermoacoustic refrigeration, 3D printing, and more. Acoustics is an incredibly versatile field with implications in a vast array of industries, and I am looking forward to sharing its exciting possibilities with you!

Find out how your home can have solar, wind, fuel cells, and/or battery backup. Capture the rainwater for use in home. Heat pumps what are they and why they may be a better alternative than HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Condition). Triple pane windows, LED lighting, ASRAE standards, Solar ready, and geothermal systems for the home. Help locally with carbon reduction, lowering GHG (Green House Gases), building resiliency into your home (during power outages your lights stay on), energy efficient devices, and Net metering (sell power back to your Utility company). What is a community Microgrid? Find out today at our lunch session.

Join us for a session on updates to the NFPA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety in the work force. Find out what changed. The risks of electrical shock, electrocution, arc flash, and arc blast lurk in your workplace. You can help prevent these electrical injuries through compliance with the latest requirements in NFPA 70E®, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace®, 2024 edition. This quintessential resource is designed to help you and your team avoid electrical injuries and fatalities on the job. Its safety requirements are also consistent with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the updated National Electrical Code® Style Manual. The 2024 edition includes: - Provisions that help comply with OSHA 1910 Subpart S and OSHA 1926 Subpart K - In-depth coverage of personal protective equipment (PPE) - Risk assessment and control - Developments in electrical design - Human performance and electrical safety - Arc-resistant equipment Purchase a copy at: https://catalog.nfpa.org/NFPA-70E-Standard-for-Electrical-Safety-in-the-Workplace-P1197.aspx Co-sponsored by: IEEE Power and Energy Society Agenda: 7:00 am PDT IEEE Announcements 7:02 am PDT Introduction of the Speaker 7:04 am PDT Presentation 7:45 am PDT Q&A Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/365663

The protection system of a four-terminal transmission line involves a high degree of complexity. Many devices, including protection and communication devices, are involved in providing optimal protection to the line in operation. The level of complexity is further increased when, as in the case described in this article, three companies with three different protection philosophies come together to protect such a line. This presentation will describe the commissioning test of the line protection of a four-terminal line. During the test, the responsible protection engineers used a system-based protection test to gain a detailed insight into the behavior of the protection system.
