Substations are an important aspect of our power delivery system. They provide a location to step up or down voltage, equipment can be removed from service for maintenance or because of a fault and system operators can remotely and or locally monitor many aspects of a substations. And like all things today, substations are also advancing with our digital age. During this talk, we will explore what is Digital Smart Substation (DSS). This includes features of a DSS, an overview of IEC 61850, substation SCADA / network basics and Centralized Substation Protection. All attendees will receive a certificate for one PDH.

This talk presents some research highlights at the intersection of AI and education. It is important, but challenging, to connect learners with information that is most effective for their learning goals. One process that combines technology and educational analysis may help: * create efficient search engine algorithms that tailor their results for a user's specific learning abilities and goals instead of generic relevance * predict the instructional value of content * develop empirical methods to get insight into what was learned Kevyn Collins-Thompson's University of Michigan team has explored these challenges through multiple projects: search engines that help people learn, algorithms to support vocabulary learning for both human and machine readers, and adaptive gaze-based technology for active learning while browsing. These efforts are cross-disciplinary and draw on insights from collaborators in cognitive psychology, computer science, and education.
