Title: Ending Energy Poverty through Off-Grid Solar Power Over 600 million people lack access to the electricity grid. This form of energy poverty disproportionately afflicts those living in developing countries, primarily in Sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia. Closer to home, tens of thousands of households, mostly on tribal lands are without grid electricity. Achieving universal electrification through grid extension is optimistically decades away, and in many rural areas may never occur. This talk describes approaches to providing off-grid electricity solutions in the form of renewable energy-powered minigrids, microgrids, energy kiosks, and solar home systems. Dr. Louie will draw upon his experiences in Zambia and the Navajo Nation to explain the technology, development approaches, barriers and opportunities for rural electrification.

Please join an exciting talk by Dr. Terry Hendricks -Technical Program Director in Blue Origin LLC. P.E., IEEE Senior Member, ASME Fellow Dr. Hendricks will introduce himself and his most recent past work to the IEEE Seattle Section community. He will present and discuss his work in space and terrestrial power systems; power systems in Jupiter, Mars, Lunar and Earth-orbit applications; most recent thermal and power challenges in Mars and Lunar spacecraft designs; advanced spacecraft design for Europa and other Icing Worlds ice penetration; and radioisotope thermoelectric power systems, solar power systems, and Stirling power systems in these space and terrestrial applications. The presentation will cover key design metrics and challenges, such as hot- and cold-side temperatures, targeted power outputs, and remaining technical gaps. Dr. Hendricks will also briefly review his most-recent, revolutionary work in thermoelectric system economic analysis, and the critical conclusions impacting the transition of thermoelectric and Stirling space power systems into terrestrial applications. He will also briefly discuss his past Department of Energy work in automotive and industrial energy recovery. He will provide his perspectives and thoughts on future engineering challenges of moving our earthly activities off into space to diminish current and future pressures on our planet, Earth. Dr. Hendricks will invite an open question-and-answer dialogue at the end of the presentation to foster and stimulate innovative and thought-provoking discussion.

Synopsis: In the world of software and product development, making artifacts customizable for different needs is crucial. The research community has made great strides with the Universal Variability Language (UVL), a tool that helps define and manage these customizations. However, while UVL is helpful, it doesn't cover everything. This talk introduces a new concept called the Generic REAlization Language (GREAL). GREAL aims to fill the gaps that UVL left behind, especially when it comes to applying customizations to the core parts of a product line. Key features of GREAL include: Openness: Easily adaptable to different industries and uses. Flexibility: Can handle various types of customizations. Declarativity: Simple and clear rules for customization. Reusability: Can be applied to multiple projects without starting from scratch. The speaker will show how GREAL works with different base languages like UML, Java, and documentation. The speaker will also discuss a successful large-scale deployment of GREAL for Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) at Airbus. Join us to explore how this new tool can make software and product customization more efficient and versatile. Speaker(s): Dr. Vishnu S. Pendyala, Prof. Jézéquel Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/468361
