Join for a session on Smart Cities Jakarta. Find out why this Indonesia City is one of the Top Smart Cities in the World. Find out about their Smart Connectivity, Smart Water, Smart Infrastructure, Smart Governance, Smart People, and Smart Transportation. Jakarta, Indonesia’s massive capital, sits on the northwest coast of the island of Java. A historic mix of cultures – Javanese, Malay, Chinese, Arab, Indian and European – has influenced its architecture, language, and cuisine. The old town, Kota Tua, is home to Dutch colonial buildings, Glodok (Jakarta’s Chinatown), and the old port of Sunda Kelapa, where traditional wooden schooners dock. Jakarta Smart City is the implementation of the smart city concept that optimizes the utilization of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to monitor, analyze and control various resources in the city with more effectiveness and efficiency in order to maximize public services, provide solutions, and support sustainable development. Jakarta follows three main focus areas for that built an ICT infrastructure: Government that listens - Technologies that connect - Citizens that participate Co-sponsored by: IEEE Power and Energy Society Agenda: 4:00 pm PST IEEE Announcements 4:02 pm PST Introduction of the Speaker 4:04 pm PST Presentation 4:45 pm PST Q&A Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/343584

Electric Ferries Nova Scotia - Friday February 10, 2023, 12 pm PST – Live Stream Seattle Washington “As a coastal province located on Canada’s east coast, Nova Scotia is facing a climate emergency. In 2021, NS committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) by 53% below 2005 levels and to be net zero by 2050. In fall 2022, NS released its climate plan, with action items to get the province ‘off oil, off coal, and off gas’. Significant portions of the provincial economy are tied to the ocean sector, including fishing, aquaculture, international shipping, ocean tech research and development, and transportation. This represents a significant opportunity for GHG reductions by marine electrification, and economic benefits tied to this new technology. One of the first projects under development in the province now is a new passenger ferry route in the capital city of Halifax as part of the public transit system. Krista will provide an overview of the current status of this project, and the anticipated benefits and challenges of bringing electric ferries to the region.
