Transfer Switch 101: Transfer Switch Fundamentals – This session will focus on Transfer Switches, understanding their purpose in the electrical system. We will explore the elements of a transfer switch and a bypass isolation transfer switch along with the different methods of transferring between sources and their strengths and weaknesses in specific applications. Code compliance is critical so we will explore the codes and standards that reference transfer switches. Power Control Systems: Paralleling Switchgear Design Basics – This session will focus on Generator synchronizing switchgear controls and System Master Controls in emergency power and closed transition modes of operation. We will address priority load controls to ensure that essential facility loads are connected when emergency power is necessary. We’ll also cover Applicable UL, ANSI and Seismic standards. Source Isolation Switching/New Energy Landscape: As technology continues to mature and the need for uninterrupted power becomes increasingly critical, the standby power landscape is evolving beyond traditional generators. Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) are now assuming multiple roles in these systems, prompting a reevaluation of how they can be effectively deployed to ensure operational reliability and compliance with codes and standards in resilience applications. This session will delve into the evolving market dynamics, changing codes, and emerging architectures that facilitate the integration of DERs for backup power, even within critical standby systems.

A Consultants Committee Virtual Meeting A few years ago the (https://ieeeusa.org/committees/aicncc/) polled local consultants network chairs to find out the status of their local consultants network. What the Consultants Committee learned is that many local consultants networks are having trouble organizing in-person meetings. We also learned that many chairs have questions about activities of the IEEE-USA Consultants Committee. On January 30 at 12:00pm-1:00pm EST, the IEEE-USA Consultants Committee is again sponsoring a virtual workshop for local consultant network chairs. We have asked senior committee members William Kassebaum and Larry Nelson to give a presentation on key activities and services of IEEE-USA Consultants Committee. In addition, these committee members will add their commentary about what independent consultants should expect in 2025. After the presentation, there will be a Q/A with members of the IEEE-USA Consultants Committee. IEEE-USA Consultants Committee members want to address any questions about the committee's activities that local chairs may have. The speakers will address any additional questions chairs may have regarding the presentation. So, we invite all Chairs, Vice Chairs and other network officers, as well as potential future Board members, to register and attend this online event. This meeting will be recorded to be used as an on Demand resource. Speaker(s): William R. Kassebaum, Larry Nelson Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/460103

Not only is 5G evolutionary (providing higher bandwidth and lower latency than current-generation technology), more importantly, 5G is revolutionary—because it is expected to enable fundamentally new applications with much more stringent requirements in latency and bandwidth. 5G should help solve the last-mile problem and provide broadband access to the next billion users globally at much lower cost because of its use of new spectrum and its improvements in spectral efficiency. Today, several standards organizations and forums, namely IEEE, 3GPP, and ITU, are working on defining the architecture and standardizing various aspects of 5G technologies. However, little has been studied to explore how 5G technologies can be useful to tactical and first responder networks. It is important to investigate how tactical and first responder communities can take advantage of 5G technologies to support massive bandwidth, massive sensing, and massive control type applications. IEEE is hosting the workshop in collaboration with the JHU Applied Physics Lab. The workshop's focus is to discuss the applicability of 5G technologies for tactical and first responder networks and related opportunities and challenges. The workshop will provide a platform to bring together 5G experts from industry, academia, and the standards, regulator, and defense communities to discuss various 5G-specific use cases and requirements. The one-day event has invited speakers from DARPA, DHS, FCC, NIST, NSF, Columbia University, NYU, Intel, National Instruments, Nokia, AT&T, CERDEC, IEEE, and 3GPP. This workshop will be a catalyst to develop relevant use cases, drive standards, and investigate deployment suitable for tactical and first responder networks.
