Region 1

Grid integration of renewable energy requires forward-looking planning process and increased emphasizes on reliability, resilience, and equity. Power-electronics based energy generation including solar, wind, distributed energy resources (DERs), and various types of grid-tied energy storage and emerging loads, are reshaping grid operator’s understanding on interconnection level performance and responses. Going forward, emerging artificial intelligence and deep integration of information technologies (IT) and OT, e.g., through the deep deployment of the fifth generation communication (5G) technologies, may inspire new perspectives and pathways to support developments of PE theory, modeling, lab-based testing and validation, and real-world implementation and demonstrations.Dr. Xiaoyuan Fan will present PNNL’s research work funded by U.S. Department of Energy, some of the highlights include research outcomes and collaborations on power electronics from DOE SC/ASCR 5G Energy FRAME project, DOE OE/AGM Wide-area Oscillation project, PR100 project, and PNNL’s research facilities and labs.

Abstract: Grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are being connected to the power grid to help with grid services and increasing power demands. BESSs contain stacks of battery cells that are controlled and managed by battery management systems (BMSs). Some critical functions of BMSs are sensing, estimating battery states like the state of charge (SoC), and balancing cells; BMS sensors are susceptible to cyberattacks like false data injection attacks (FDIAs) which can be used to corrupt SoC estimation, and could result in thermal runaway events. As part of a defense in depth cybersecurity approach for BESSs, cyberattack detection methods are needed within BMSs to monitor for cyber intrusions. In this talk, a three-pronged method combining battery modeling, estimating, and a recursive summation algorithm is used to detect FDIAs targeting battery voltage sensors. The method consistently exhibits accurate FDIA detection with false positive rates as low as 0%.

COURSE DESCRIPTION Course Kick-off / Orientation Thursday, October 10th - 6:00PM – 6:30PM. Live Workshops: 6:00PM – 7:30PM, Thursdays, October 17, 24, 31, November 7, 14 Registration is open through the last live workshop date. Live workshops are recorded for later use. Attendees will have access to the recorded session and exercises for two months (until January 14, 2025) after the live session ends! Registration Fees: IEEE Member Fee (by October 8): $190.00 IEEE Member Fee (after October 8): $285.00 IEEE Non-Member Fee (by October 8): $210.00 IEEE Non-Member Fee (after October 8) $315.00 Decision to run/cancel course: Friday, October 4, 2024 COURSE DESCRIPTION New Format Combining Live Workshops with Pre-recorded Video This is a hands-on course providing pre-recorded lectures that students can watch on their own schedule and an unlimited number of times prior to live Q&A/Workshop sessions with the instructor. Ten 1.5 hour videos released 2 per week while the course is in session will be available for up to two months after the conclusion of the course. Course Summary This course is a fresh view of the fundamental and practical concepts of digital signal processing applicable to the design of mixed signal design with A/D conversion, digital filters, operations with the FFT, and multi-rate signal processing. This course will build an intuitive understanding of the underlying mathematics through the use of graphics, visual demonstrations, and applications in GPS and mixed signal (analog/digital) modern transceivers. This course is applicable to DSP algorithm development with a focus on meeting practical hardware development challenges in both the analog and digital domains, and not a tutorial on working with specific DSP processor hardware. Now with Jupyter Notebooks! Speaker(s): Dan Boschen, Agenda: Topics / Schedule: Pre-recorded lectures: (3 hours each) will be distributed Friday prior to each week’s workshop dates.

We will look at a clever design for determining how much oil remains in an oil tank. Such a device can be used by oil delivery services to keep track of their customers. Oil delivery services monitor their customers' tanks for a few reasons: - for contract deliveries, to avoid “runouts”, - for COD deliveries, to prompt customers for a fill, - to ensure customer retention, and - to eliminate the reliance on the K-factor, which is the basis for a guess as to what is the level of an unmonitored tank. Arnold Stillman, founder of POEM Technology, the company that developed this system will present the design of a tank monitor that uses a pressure tube to measure liquid levels. Using a pressure tube allows monitoring buried tanks where competing sensing methods do not work. Some of the topics that will be discussed include: - The economics of heating oil delivery - Types of tanks - Types of tank monitors - Pumpless manometry - Cellular IoT Economics - IoT Protocols - IoT Hardware Design - IoT backend - User interface Speaker(s): Arnold Stillman Agenda: 7:00 PM Networking and Announcements 7:20 PM Presentation Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/441928
