Program: This presentation provides an overview of following: - Inverter topologies, operating principles and control for various forms of inverter-based resources including grid-forming and grid following inverters - Power system dynamic modelling and analysis - Grid connection processes and lessons learned Speaker(s): Babak Badrzadeh, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/391642

Low Voltage VFDs The application of Variable Freqency Drives (VFD) has increased significantly since I initally wrote courses on VFDs 10 years ago. This course will present the electrical and mechanical enngineering utilized to specify adjustable speed drive and include case studies for projects completed over the past 10 years, like the Sky Diving Wind Tunnel Motor and Drive System and the Replacement of the MG Set for the Gateway (St. Louis) Arc trams, pointing out the design of the power system and the control systems which are unique to using Low Voltage VFDs. Speaker(s): Joseph F. Maida, PE, Agenda: WEBINAR: 7:00 - 8:00 P.M. The Zoom Webinar link and password will be forwarded to all registered participants after Noon on the day of the meeting. Check your spam folder if you don't see the email. Webinar is open to all. PDH certificates are available and an evaluation form will be emailed to you after the meeting. PDH certificate are sent by IEEE USA 3-4 weeks after the meeting. Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/385172

: In this talk, we focus on the recent developments toward integrated sensing and communications (ISAC). We consider a broad definition of coexistence, which covers ISAC, collaborative communications, and sensing with interference. Toward fully realizing the coexistence of the two systems, optimization of resources for both new/futuristic sensing and wireless communications modalities is crucial. These synergistic approaches that exploit the interplay between state sensing and communications are both driving factors and opportunities for many current signal processing and information-theoretic techniques. In addition, a large body of prior works considers colocated ISAC systems while distributed systems remain relatively unexamined. Building on the existing approaches, the tutorial focuses on highlighting emerging scenarios in collaborative and distributed ISAC, particularly at mm-Wave and THz frequencies, highly dynamic vehicular/automotive environments that would benefit from information exchange between the two systems. It presents the architectures and possible methodologies for mutually beneficial distributed co-existence and co-design, including sensor fusion and heterogeneously distributed radar and communications. The tutorial also considers recent developments such as the deployment of intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS) in ISAC, 5G systems, passive internet-of-things, and ISAC secrecy rate optimization. This tutorial aims to draw the attention of the radar, communications, and signal processing communities toward an emerging area, which can benefit from the cross-fertilization of ideas in distributed systems.
