Decarbonization Opportunities in the Electric Power Sector to Address Climate Change<\/strong>
Keynote Speech, ICEE Conference, Hong Kong
<\/strong><\/p>

There is an unprecedented level of awareness of climate change and the role of decarbonization in enabling environmental sustainability moving forward. In particular, there has been a major focus placed on the carbon produced through electricity generation, as it is responsible for roughly 30% of emissions globally. While industrialized nations are slowly moving away from fossil-fuel based electricity, emerging economies are still heavily reliant on fossil fuels which are the most readily available electricity generation sources for them.

\n\t\t\t
<\/p>

Thus, there is a tension that needs to be navigated if we are to meet carbon reduction targets \u2013 and they are, to be clear, shared targets. A nuanced approach to navigating this tension will see industrialized nation states collaborating with emerging economies to deploy a portfolio of solutions with low-carbon generation, storage and demand side management with advanced technology focusing on energy efficiency. To more efficiently facilitate the global shift towards renewable energy adoption, the below six areas should be our priority to address climate change.

Role of IEEE in Achieving Sustainable Development during 4th Industrial Revolution in Bangladesh<\/strong>
Keynote Speech at the BUET Graduate Club, Dhaka Bangladesh<\/p>\n

A smart city relies on widely distributed smart devices to monitor the urban environment in real-time, collects information for intelligent decision making, and facilitates various services to improve the quality of urban living. The distributed network of intelligent sensor nodes, as well as data centers\/clouds where sensor data are stored and shared, constitutes a smart city infrastructure. Participatory sensing plays an indispensable role in emerging initiatives of a smart city, which retrieves sensor data from groups of people or communities.

\n\t\t\t
<\/p>\n

The proliferation of personal mobile devices and development of online social networks make participatory sensing viable at a large scale but introduce many open problems at the same time. Smart cities address urban challenges such as pollution, energy efficiency, security, parking, traffic, transportation, and others by utilizing advanced technologies in data gathering and communications interconnectivity via the Internet. It provides real time and remote monitoring for different aspects of data management in areas such as transportation, communication, video surveillance, and sensors distributed throughout the city. Simultaneously, the Smart City building blocks like education, telemedicine, health care, IT applications, pollution management, etc. can be deployed in Smart Village initiatives to have a greater impact on the rural population throughout the world.  This will support the world\u2019s energy-impoverished communities by providing a comprehensive solution combining renewable energy, community-based education, and entrepreneurial opportunities through reliable electricity and internet connectivity.<\/p>\n

Energy Efficiency in Smart Buildings through IoT Sensor Integration
<\/strong>Keynote Speech, 8th International Conference on Networking, Systems and Security, Dhaka, Bangladesh<\/p>

Internet of Things (IoT) deployments offer a much higher value proposition if these can function in the context of smart buildings. Such advanced information and communication technology (ICT) applications in commercial buildings, schools, libraries, shopping centers, etc. offer low cost but highly effective monitoring and control opportunities.\u00a0 Sensors deployed in key locations can monitor the building environment in real-time, collect information for intelligent decision making, and facilitate various services. An IoT sensor platform has been developed that provides a unified communication platform which can integrate information from disparate sources and provide one control hierarchy.

\n\t\t\t
<\/p>

It is a powerful, low-cost, open-architecture software platform that can monitor and control major electrical loads (e.g., HVAC, lighting and plug loads), as well as solar PV systems, energy storage units and other IoT sensors in commercial buildings. The platform can provide new or legacy buildings with a building\u00a0automation system (BAS) or connect with existing BAS systems in large and small commercial buildings. This platform leverages machine learning algorithms to draw insights from a deployed building\u2019s\u00a0historical operating data and occupant preferences to save energy (kWh) while increasing\u00a0occupant comfort. This also allows buildings to reduce\u00a0peak demand (kW) through direct\u00a0communication with utilities using demand response protocols such as openADR.\u00a0<\/p>

The Global Electric Power Sector: Engaging with Environmental Issues
<\/strong>Keynote Speech, EICT 2021 KUET, Bangladesh<\/p>

China, US, India, Japan and Russia are the top five countries in terms of electricity generation capacity. Between them they had a total capacity of 3,650 million kW in 2016. In terms of fuel sources for electricity coal, natural gas, hydro, nuclear, renewables and oil provided 38.3%, 22.9%, 16.3%, 10.2%, 9% and 3.3% respectively in 2017. This means almost two-thirds of the global electricity production came from fossil fuels in that year. This is reflected in about 10 billion tons of CO2 from electricity generation or about a third of the global production.\u00a0

\n\t\t\t
However, this mix is expected to change significantly in the next 10 years. By 2030 installed power generation capacities from wind, solar PV, hydro power, nuclear and thermal are going to reach 540 GW, 420 GW, 530 GW, 160 GW and 1200 GW respectively.\u00a0 The top five CO2 emitting countries are: China, United States, India, Russian Federation and Japan each producing between nine and one billion metric tons of CO2 in 2016. However, CO2 is not the only concern against global warming. The Global Warming Potentials (GWP) of greenhouse gases are as follows: CO2 (1), Methane (28), Hydro fluorocarbons (138), Nitrous oxide (265), Per fluorocarbons (6,630) and Sulphur hexafluoride (23,500).\u00a0 So, the bottom line is: Efforts in the electric power sector to replace fossil fuel with renewables and nuclear will help. But if emission from the transportation sector continues to rise, the drop in power sector contributions will not be enough. Large scale Electric Vehicle deployment will help, but question remains \u2013 how will the EV be powered.<\/p>

Smart Grid Helps with Greater Integration of Renewables into the Power Grid
<\/strong>IEEE ICEECCOT GSSS Institute of Engineering & Tech for Women, Mysore India<\/p>

With the focus on environmental sustainability and energy security, power system planners are looking at renewable energy as supplements and alternatives. But such generation sources have their own challenges – primarily intermittency.\u00a0 It is expected that the smart grid \u2013 due to its inherent communication, sensing and control capabilities \u2013 will have the ability to manage the load, storage and generation assets (including renewables) in the power grid to enable a large-scale integration of distributed generation. In a smart grid, information about the state of the grid and its components can be exchanged quickly over long distances and complex networks.

\n\t\t\t
<\/p>

It will therefore be possible to have the integration of sustainable energy sources, such as wind, solar, off-shore electricity, etc. for smoother system operation. But in order for this to be possible, the electric utility will have to evolve, and change their ways of operation to become an intelligent provider of these services. This lecture introduces the operational characteristics of renewable energy sources, and various aspects of the smart grid – technology, standards and regulations. It also addresses the interplay among distributed generation, storage and conventional generation to provide an efficient operational strategy in the context of the smart grid.<\/p>

The Electric Power Secto in Bangladesh: Global Decarbonization Issues
<\/strong>35th FOBANA and AABEA Joint Seminar<\/p>

The electric power sector in Bangladesh is expected to grow very fast \u2013 system peak is expected to reach 16,823 MW in 2021, then 37,024 MW in 2030 and 72,379 MW in 2041. This level of load growth will require generation, transmission and distribution support. Given the limited national expertise available, there is strong dependence on manufacturers\u2019 reps who push for their products and consultants who are busy writing their reports. This cycle needs to be broken.
