looking at renewable energy and storage as supplements and alternatives. But such generation sources have their own challenges &#8211; 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. <div class='yrm-content yrm-content-1 yrm-content-hide  ' id='yrm-Ihdcm' data-id='1' data-show-status='false' data-after-action='' style=\"visibility: hidden;height: 0;\">\n\t\t\t<div id='yrm-inner-content-yrm-Ihdcm' class='yrm-inner-content-wrapper yrm-cntent-1'><\/p><p>In a smart grid, information about the state of the grid and its components can be exchanged quickly over long distances and complex networks. 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.<\/p><p>The future electric utility will become an intelligent provider of these services. This lecture introduces the operational characteristics of renewable energy sources, and various aspects of the smart grid &#8211; technology, standards and regulations.

groups when targeting carbon reductions: <div class='yrm-content yrm-content-1 yrm-content-hide  ' id='yrm-1DSzX' data-id='1' data-show-status='false' data-after-action='' style=\"visibility:

majority of the total CO2 emissions thus far.<\/li><li>Emerging economies, which are less responsible for past carbon emissions, but increasing their carbon emissions at a much faster rate.<\/li><\/ul><p>As the former pushes the latter, which are heavily reliant on fossil fuels to transition towards renewable energy solutions in the future, there is a tension that needs to be navigated if we are to meet CO2 reduction targets globally\u2013 and they are, to be clear, shared targets.<br \/>A nuanced approach to navigating this tension will be presented which will require industrialized nation states to collaborate with emerging economies to deploy a portfolio of solutions with low-carbon generation including nuclear, hydrogen, storage and demand side management with advanced technology focusing on energy efficiency.<\/p><p>Saifur Rahman, PhD<br \/>Professor, Virginia Tech<br \/>2022 IEEE President-elect<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div

Lecture, IEEE PES Kolkata Chapter <\/p><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. <div class='yrm-content yrm-content-1 yrm-content-hide  ' id='yrm-GVyOl' data-id='1' data-show-status='false' data-after-action='' style=\"visibility: hidden;height: 0;\">\n\t\t\t<div id='yrm-inner-content-yrm-GVyOl' class='yrm-inner-content-wrapper yrm-cntent-1'><\/p><p>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. The top five CO2 emitting countries are: China, United States, India, Russian Federation and Japan. 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). This challenge can be addressed using a portfolio of solutions with low-carbon generation (including renewables &amp; nuclear), storage and demand side management with advanced technology focusing on energy efficiency. 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 the EV will be powered.<\/p><p>DLP Lecture<br \/>IEEE PES Kolkata Chapter <br \/>10 December 2022<br \/>Kolkata,

looking at renewable energy and storage as supplements and alternatives. But such generation sources have their own challenges &#8211; 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. <div class='yrm-content yrm-content-1 yrm-content-hide  ' id='yrm-f1PSx' data-id='1' data-show-status='false' data-after-action='' style=\"visibility: hidden;height: 0;\">\n\t\t\t<div id='yrm-inner-content-yrm-f1PSx' class='yrm-inner-content-wrapper yrm-cntent-1'><\/p><p>In a smart grid, information about the state of the grid and its components can be exchanged quickly over long distances and complex networks. 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.<\/p><p>The future electric utility will become an intelligent provider of these services. This lecture introduces the operational characteristics of renewable energy sources, and various aspects of the smart grid &#8211; 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><p>IES OnCon,

Electric Power Sector<br \/><\/strong>Keynote Speech, 2022 PES ISGT Conference, Singapore<\/p><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 However, this mix is expected to change significantly in the next 10 years. <div class='yrm-content yrm-content-1 yrm-content-hide  ' id='yrm-o2vcP' data-id='1' data-show-status='false' data-after-action='' style=\"visibility: hidden;height: 0;\">\n\t\t\t<div id='yrm-inner-content-yrm-o2vcP' class='yrm-inner-content-wrapper yrm-cntent-1'><\/p><p>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. 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 This challenge can be addressed using a portfolio of solutions with low-carbon generation (including renewables &amp; nuclear), storage and demand side management with advanced technology focusing on energy efficiency.\u00a0But 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.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Keynote Speech\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <br \/>ISGT Asia <br \/>02

\/><\/strong>Keynote Speech, GECOST, Curtin University, Malaysia<\/p><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 &#8211; 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. \u00a0<div class='yrm-content yrm-content-1 yrm-content-hide  ' id='yrm-cSDG2' data-id='1' data-show-status='false' data-after-action='' style=\"visibility: hidden;height: 0;\">\n\t\t\t<div id='yrm-inner-content-yrm-cSDG2' class='yrm-inner-content-wrapper yrm-cntent-1'><\/p><p>In a smart grid, information about the state of the grid and its components can be exchanged quickly over long distances and complex networks. 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 &#8211; 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><p>Keynote

\/><\/strong>DLP Talk, IEEE Bombay Section, PES Chapter, Mumbai, India<\/p><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 &#8211; 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. <div class='yrm-content yrm-content-1 yrm-content-hide  ' id='yrm-6rWtO' data-id='1' data-show-status='false' data-after-action='' style=\"visibility: hidden;height: 0;\">\n\t\t\t<div id='yrm-inner-content-yrm-6rWtO' class='yrm-inner-content-wrapper yrm-cntent-1'><\/p><p>In a smart grid, information about the state of the grid and its components can be exchanged quickly over long distances and complex networks. 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 &#8211; 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><p>IEEE Bombay

\/><\/strong>Keynote Speech, International Conference on STEM for the 4th Industrial Revolution<\/p><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 &#8211; 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. \u00a0<div class='yrm-content yrm-content-1 yrm-content-hide  ' id='yrm-6xWvn' data-id='1' data-show-status='false' data-after-action='' style=\"visibility: hidden;height: 0;\">\n\t\t\t<div id='yrm-inner-content-yrm-6xWvn' class='yrm-inner-content-wrapper yrm-cntent-1'><\/p><p>In a smart grid, information about the state of the grid and its components can be exchanged quickly over long distances and complex networks. 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 &#8211; 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><p>Keynote

But such generation sources have their own challenges &#8211; 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. <div class='yrm-content yrm-content-1 yrm-content-hide  ' id='yrm-KDp72' data-id='1' data-show-status='false' data-after-action='' style=\"visibility: hidden;height: 0;\">\n\t\t\t<div id='yrm-inner-content-yrm-KDp72' class='yrm-inner-content-wrapper yrm-cntent-1'><\/p><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 &#8211; 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.<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div

Smart Cities Week 2022<\/p><p>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. 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. <div class='yrm-content yrm-content-1 yrm-content-hide  ' id='yrm-rcVWF' data-id='1' data-show-status='false' data-after-action='' style=\"visibility: hidden;height: 0;\">\n\t\t\t<div id='yrm-inner-content-yrm-rcVWF' class='yrm-inner-content-wrapper yrm-cntent-1'><\/p><p>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.

Tagare Memorial Lecture, IEEE PES\/IAS Chapter, Pune Section, India<\/p><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 &#8211; 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. <div class='yrm-content yrm-content-1 yrm-content-hide  ' id='yrm-nUpiM' data-id='1' data-show-status='false' data-after-action='' style=\"visibility: hidden;height: 0;\">\n\t\t\t<div id='yrm-inner-content-yrm-nUpiM' class='yrm-inner-content-wrapper yrm-cntent-1'><\/p><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 &#8211; 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.<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div

But such generation sources have their own challenges &#8211; 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. <div class='yrm-content yrm-content-1 yrm-content-hide  ' id='yrm-Ovdja' data-id='1' data-show-status='false' data-after-action='' style=\"visibility: hidden;height: 0;\">\n\t\t\t<div id='yrm-inner-content-yrm-Ovdja' class='yrm-inner-content-wrapper yrm-cntent-1'><\/p><p>In a smart grid, information about the state of the grid and its components can be exchanged quickly over long distances and complex networks. 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 &#8211; 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><p>ASEAN, Malaysia<br \/>17 March 2022<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class='yrm-btn-wrapper yrm-btn-wrapper-1 yrm-more-button-wrapper  '\n\t\tdata-custom-more-class-name='' data-custom-less-class-name=''><span title='' data-less-title='' data-more-title='' class='yrm-toggle-expand  yrm-toggle-expand-1 ' data-rel='yrm-Ovdja' data-more='Read more' data-less='Read less'><span class='yrm-text-wrapper yrm-text-wrapper-custom-dimensions'><span class=\"yrm-button-text-1 yrm-button-text-span\">Read more<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2289b42\" data-id=\"2289b42\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b23894b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b23894b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/ASEAN_ESE_03172022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/ASEAN_ESE_03172022-1024x683.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-5111\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/ASEAN_ESE_03172022-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/ASEAN_ESE_03172022-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/ASEAN_ESE_03172022-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/ASEAN_ESE_03172022-1536x1024.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/ASEAN_ESE_03172022-2048x1365.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-19632f0 elementor-hidden-phone elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"19632f0\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-eb360f3\" data-id=\"eb360f3\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-538338b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"538338b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>04 March 2022<\/em><br \/><em>Aligarh, India<br \/><\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f4e421c\" data-id=\"f4e421c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3fda39a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3fda39a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Improving Academy-Industry Collaboration in Engineering<\/strong><strong><br \/><\/strong>Invited Talk, World Engineering Day,\u00a0 Aligarh Muslim University<strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p><p>All developed countries in the east and west have strong higher education programs, which are well-designed to match industry requirements.
