The State of DERs and how it benefits the smart grid in the context of energy transition. Join us for a session on the Smart Grid. What is it and why do we need it? Find out the latest trends in design and construction of the NEW Grid. What changed? How are we handling cyber attacks on the grid? How are we physically strengthening the grid? What government incentives are we taking? And how are the Electric Utilities working with the client facilities behind the meter to build resiliency and sustainable facilities for the future. How are DERs (distributed Energy Resources) like solar, fuel cells, and wind working to reduce our nations carbon footprint? From our ancestor’s awareness of electrical energy to more recent history of experiments on how to generate and control such energy, the Electricity has been around with us for several hundred years. But it only became widely accessible as the dominant form of energy, thanks to the modern power systems. At the heart of such power systems is the electric grid, which has served as the backbone for the world’s electricity system for more than a century, fueling economic growth and enabling more advanced technology development. Fast forward to today the society is transitioning from reliance on fossil fuel to cleaner and sustainable operation. We’ve seen signs that the grids are becoming a bottleneck of such energy transition. The observations range from wide-spread outages to multiple grid cogeneration, to prolonged interconnection queue and renewable curtailment. When integrated and managed well, Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) bring in huge value and provide system level flexibility services that can help address the grids’ challenge. In today’s session I would like to take the audience together to explore the challenges and opportunities of integrating DERs to the Smart Grid.

AP Cooperation schemes which tackle the cell-edge user problem, are expected to be in the focus of Wi-Fi 8. Among them, Coordinated Beamforming (CoBF) is expected to play a key role, mainly due to the minimal inter-AP synchronization and joint processing it requires. In this talk we will analyze CoBF from the perspective of multi-user interference (MUI) and show that the scheme currently envisioned in Wi-Fi 8 is broken! Specifically, we will show that (in contrast to DL MU-MIMO) when the number of STA Rx antennas is larger than the number of streams, the STA does not have enough DoF to mitigate the MU interference and the scheme collapses. After we identify this problem, we will propose a new feedback concept which completely solves the problem, leads to zero MUI; while keeping the Wi-Fi feedback format and implying lower computational complexity! We will demonstrate the ideas in this talk with a short MATLAB demo. Speaker(s): Doron Ezri Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/382550

Engineers traditionally use deterministic modeling in their tasks, but challenges for developing and optimizing products and processes inspire us to venture beyond deterministic to probabilistic or stochastic modeling. The melding of engineering modeling with probabilistic thinking empowers engineers to develop confidence for ourselves, our customers and regulatory agencies that our products are likely to be successful and that we will flawlessly meet or exceed expectations over a comprehensive range of use conditions. Predictive engineering starts from measurable system level requirements, exploration and documentation of use conditions, and expanding on deterministic models with probabilistic modeling using Monte Carlo Simulation or Bayesian Networks to optimize the design and process. Probabilistic and stochastic modeling has provided competitive advantages for enterprises, for products, and for both experienced engineers and engineers early in their careers. Event is organized by IEEE Hawaii YP, IAS, and WIE and co-hosted with several other organizations. Depending on the level of interest in this event, a follow on series with Six Sigma certification is possible. Speaker(s): Eric Maass, PhD Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/382000

Agenda: 6:00pm - 7:00pm Networking & Dinner 7:00pm - 7:10pm Welcome words from Jim Brisimitzis on behalf of 5G Open Inoovation Lab 7:10pm - 8:10pm Technical presentation by Prof. Lin Cai - University of Victoria 8:10pm - 9:00pm Networking & More The fusion of digital and real worlds in all dimensions will be the driving force for future sixth-generation (6G) wireless systems. Ubiquitous in-time and on-time communication services between humans, machines, robots, and their virtual counterparts are essential, and they expand from the ground to air, space, underground, and deep sea. 6G systems are not only data pipelines but also large-scale distributed computing systems with integrated sensing, processing, storage, communication and computing capabilities. It is challenging to build ubiquitous and intelligent 6G systems, handling stringent quality-of-service (QoS) requirements, providing a rich set of communication modes, including unicast, multicast, broadcast, in-cast, and group-cast, and supporting user-centric mobile applications. In this talk, we introduce a new protocol architecture, Self-Evolving and Transformative (SET) architecture that can provide a wide range of control functions, and be intelligently configured for different types of 6G applications and networking environments. Its design principles, potentials, and open issues are discussed. We also introduce a use case applying the architecture to develop a mobility-aware multi-path QUIC protocol for seamless handover in satellite networks.
