Region 1

In an ever-growing populous world, the automotive industry is faced with opportunities and challenges, which has been driving revolutionary changes to the automotive DNA. These involve an exponentially increasing electronic content and interconnected embedded (Cyber-Physical) systems, in contrast with the relatively simple stand-alone computing systems that once controlled basic engine and chassis functions. The realized advances in vehicle electrification, connectivity, and autonomous driving capabilities, when combined, will make our cars and trucks much different, more efficient, and much safer than those on the road today. In this talk, examples of new and emerging automotive features and systems will be discussed to show that these systems are evolving to become highly cyber-physical in nature, and perhaps represent some of the most sophisticated cyber-physical systems that exist. These technologies are considered foundational to future Intelligent Transportation Systems and have a huge potential to impact the industry and society. Before we get into such specific examples, the talk will quickly cover the motivations or market drivers which let the automotive systems to move into the CPS space.

The rapid increase in the integration of inverter-based resources (IBRs)/DERs has driven the grid transition to renewable energy, introducing challenges such as overvoltage, undervoltage, harmonics, and protection scheme failures. To manage these issues, the concept of hosting capacity (HC) was developed, defining the maximum amount of solar photovoltaics (PV) that can be accommodated by an electric grid without necessitating additional infrastructure changes. As countries worldwide adopt the goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, the rapid integration of IBRs is transforming the nature of grids globally. This webinar will explore strategies for maximizing distributed PV hosting capacity in regional 100% renewable (wind/PV) energy grids, considering technical constraints like power flow and voltage limits, as well as the uncertainties associated with renewable energy sources. Understanding and optimizing HC is crucial for effective power system planning and ensuring the reliability and quality of our future energy grids. We invite all those interested in clean energy and the future of our renewable grid to join us for this insightful session.
