However, this mix is expected to change significantly by the of this decade. By 2030 the total global installed power generation capacity is expected to rise to 10,350 GW. Following is the breakdown by fuel sources of electricity in that year: coal (20.8%), natural gas (22.2%), hydro (15.4%), nuclear (4.3%), oil (3.4%), wind (12.5%), solar PV (18.4%) and other renewables (2.9%). This means 46.4% of global electricity generation capacity will come from fossil fuels in 2030.\u00a0 This is a 10 point drop in 10 years.\u00a0<div class='yrm-content yrm-content-1 yrm-content-hide  ' id='yrm-5VB8d' 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-5VB8d' class='yrm-inner-content-wrapper yrm-cntent-1'><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is the global breakdown of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuel combustion by type of fuels (2019): Coal 44%, petroleum 34% and natural gas 22%.\u00a0 However, CO2 is not the only concern against global warming. The Global Warming Potentials (GWP) of greenhouse gases are as follows: CO<sub>2<\/sub> (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><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IEEE PES APPEEC Conference<br \/>Melbourne, Australia\u00a0<br \/>22 June 2022\u00a0<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5625 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/eia_data-300x267.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"546\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/eia_data-300x267.png 300w, https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/eia_data-768x682.png 768w, https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/eia_data.png 862w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 546px) 100vw, 546px\" \/><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/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-5VB8d' 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-a6716c4\" data-id=\"a6716c4\" 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-f37455e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f37455e\" 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\/06\/APPEEC_11222022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"171\" src=\"https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/APPEEC_11222022-300x171.png\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-5656\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/APPEEC_11222022-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/APPEEC_11222022-1024x584.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/APPEEC_11222022-768x438.png 768w, https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/APPEEC_11222022.png 1044w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\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-f06076e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f06076e\" 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-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5af7991\" data-id=\"5af7991\" 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-8e4942a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8e4942a\" 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<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default elementor-inline-editing pen\" contenteditable=\"true\" data-elementor-setting-key=\"title\" data-pen-placeholder=\"Type Here...\">Let us make IEEE a more successful and resilient global technical organization\u200b<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-00fecb4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"00fecb4\" 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><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I have spoken at over 200 IEEE events in all ten IEEE regions.

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&#8230; <div class='yrm-content yrm-content-1 yrm-content-hide  ' id='yrm-n5tZi' 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-n5tZi' class='yrm-inner-content-wrapper yrm-cntent-1'>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 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). 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.<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class='yrm-btn-wrapper yrm-btn-wrapper-1 yrm-more-button-wrapper

Renewables<\/strong><br \/>IEEE Tunisia PES Chapter<\/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. &#8230;<div class='yrm-content yrm-content-1 yrm-content-hide  ' id='yrm-mh0X6' 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-mh0X6' class='yrm-inner-content-wrapper yrm-cntent-1'>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 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-mh0X6' 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-e17e407\" data-id=\"e17e407\" 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-2ca4b13 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2ca4b13\" 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\/2020\/07\/SmartGrid_Tunisia_07202020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SmartGrid_Tunisia_07202020.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\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-ccfcd7a elementor-hidden-phone elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ccfcd7a\" 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-fac09c8\" data-id=\"fac09c8\" 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-616fc71 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"616fc71\" 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>17 July 2020<\/em><br \/><em>New Zealand<\/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-22f1e43\" data-id=\"22f1e43\" 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-6febccc elementor-hidden-phone elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6febccc\" 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>Global Electric Power Sector: Engaging with Environmental Issues<br \/><\/strong>IEEE PES New Zealand Chapter<\/p><p>China, US, India, Japan and Russia are the top five countries in terms of electricity generation capacity.

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.<\/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-oTQJ8' 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-c7f7f21\" data-id=\"c7f7f21\" 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-b7177a1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b7177a1\" 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\/2020\/07\/NZ_Environment_07172020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/NZ_Environment_07172020-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1635\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/NZ_Environment_07172020-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/NZ_Environment_07172020-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/NZ_Environment_07172020-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/NZ_Environment_07172020-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/NZ_Environment_07172020-2048x1536.jpg 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-6536113 elementor-hidden-phone elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6536113\" 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-89de1f3\" data-id=\"89de1f3\" 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-859caf9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"859caf9\" 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>17 July 2020<\/em><br \/><em>Indonesia<\/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-566da5b\" data-id=\"566da5b\" 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-1bd4369 elementor-hidden-phone elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1bd4369\" 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>Global Electric Power Sector: Engaging with Environmental Issues<br \/><\/strong>IEEE PES Chapter Indonesia<\/p><p>China, US, India, Japan and Russia are the top five countries in terms of electricity generation capacity.

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.

Large scale Electric Vehicle deployment will help, but question remains \u2013 how will the EV be powered. <\/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-BH5AT' 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-98b7bc8\" data-id=\"98b7bc8\" 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-adb9557 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"adb9557\" 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\/2020\/07\/Environment_Talk_Uruguay_Chile_Argentina_07152020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"791\" src=\"https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Environment_Talk_Uruguay_Chile_Argentina_07152020-1024x791.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1675\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Environment_Talk_Uruguay_Chile_Argentina_07152020-1024x791.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Environment_Talk_Uruguay_Chile_Argentina_07152020-300x232.png 300w, https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Environment_Talk_Uruguay_Chile_Argentina_07152020-768x593.png 768w, https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Environment_Talk_Uruguay_Chile_Argentina_07152020-1536x1187.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Environment_Talk_Uruguay_Chile_Argentina_07152020-2048x1583.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-9bcb1c7 elementor-hidden-phone elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9bcb1c7\" 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-9706802\" data-id=\"9706802\" 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-4f04681 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4f04681\" 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>14 July 2020<\/em><br \/><em>Spain<\/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-8691e33\" data-id=\"8691e33\" 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-2c42f20 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2c42f20\" 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>Role of the Smart Grid in Facilitating the Integration of Renewables<\/strong><br \/>IEEE PES Chapter, Spain<\/p><p>With the focus on environmental sustainability and energy security, power system planners are looking at renewable energy as supplements and alternatives.

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

However, advances in renewable energy technologies (e.g., PV panels), battery storage, smart devices, as well as financing models have given rise to prosumers &#8211; electricity consumers &#8211; who can produce energy from rooftop PV while also consuming from the grid&#8230;<div class='yrm-content yrm-content-1 yrm-content-hide  ' id='yrm-2kMx7' 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-2kMx7' class='yrm-inner-content-wrapper yrm-cntent-1'> However, there are no widely available and effective tools to facilitate consumer participation in the energy market. A software platform, called the \u201cEnergy Internet\u201d (EI) platform, is being developed at Virginia Tech, which uses the blockchain technology to securely manage data, communications, and control of devices among different participants on a large scale. Specifically, the focus is on these issues: (i) integration with power management systems; (ii) scalability of the technology; and (iii) cybersecurity capabilities. This structure allows the development and testing of a functioning energy internet platform for transactive energy and demand response applications. This cyber physical platform can help to design and develop a local smart electricity market where even small prosumers can contribute to a market-oriented power system.<\/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-2kMx7' 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-261bef2\" data-id=\"261bef2\" 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-0ba3509 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0ba3509\" 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\/2020\/07\/India_CONNECT_06032020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"792\" src=\"https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/India_CONNECT_06032020-1024x792.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1564\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/India_CONNECT_06032020-1024x792.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/India_CONNECT_06032020-300x232.png 300w, https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/India_CONNECT_06032020-768x594.png 768w, https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/India_CONNECT_06032020-1536x1187.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.srahman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/India_CONNECT_06032020-2048x1583.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-5ba43f1 elementor-hidden-phone elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5ba43f1\" 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-07ba77b\" data-id=\"07ba77b\" 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-fb7bac2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fb7bac2\" 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>29 June 2020<\/em><br \/><em>Jordan<\/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-1324369\" data-id=\"1324369\" 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-aca1dac elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"aca1dac\" 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>Role of the Smart Grid in Facilitating the Integration of Renewables<\/strong><br \/>IEEE Al Balqa Applied University Student Branch, Jordan<\/p><p>With the focus on environmental sustainability and energy security, power system planners are looking at renewable energy as supplements and alternatives.

Perspective\u00a0<\/b><br \/>IPECS Conference, Kerala, India<\/p><p>The electrical revolution of the 1880s gave rise to two major areas of electrical engineering, namely wired telecommunications and power generation.\u00a0 The early beginnings of wired and wireless telegraphy have evolved to radio, fiber optics, microwave and satellite-based communications while telephony is now taken over by the ubiquitous smart phone technology.\u00a0 Similarly, the traditional power system consisting of generation, transmission and distribution has evolved rapidly over the past few decades to encompass new paradigms such as renewable energy, distributed generation, energy storage and electric vehicles, etc.\u00a0 More importantly, communications has become the key enabling technology for the new power system. &#8230;<div class='yrm-content yrm-content-1 yrm-content-hide  ' id='yrm-jOIlk' 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-jOIlk' class='yrm-inner-content-wrapper yrm-cntent-1'> The need to generate and distribute electricity efficiently has given rise to distribution automation, and hence the creation of the smart grid.\u00a0 On the end-user side, the need to utilize electricity efficiently has given rise to the concepts of smart cities and smart buildings practicing a range of energy saving measures such as demand response, IoT and sensor-based building energy management and renewables integration.\u00a0<\/p><p>Power engineers are expected to re-imagine the power system of today as a complex ecosystem comprising smart entities, i.e., buildings, campuses, cities, infrastructures and grids.\u00a0 They will need to be familiar and conversant with these new paradigms and communications technologies as well as the various enabling technologies.<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class='yrm-btn-wrapper yrm-btn-wrapper-1 yrm-more-button-wrapper

Applications<\/strong><br \/>IEEE Singapore Section<\/p><p>For over a century, the structure of the electric utility business has been a supplier-driven model with consumers receiving and paying for electricity without any participation in how the electricity is produced, transmitted, or delivered. However, advances in renewable energy technologies (e.g., PV panels), battery storage, smart devices, as well as financing models have given rise to prosumers &#8211; electricity consumers &#8211; who can produce energy from rooftop PV while also consuming from the grid. However, there are no widely available and effective tools to facilitate consumer participation in the energy market.

Program, designed for the employer to pay the employee\u2019s IEEE membership dues, and in return getting some benefits from PES. This engages the organization more closely with IEEE. Additionally, this program allows the employer to recognize higher performing engineers or faculty members. I signed the first Corporate Membership MoU under this program in November 2017. PES has so far signed 10 such MoUs with power companies and universities in China, India and the US. Simultaneously I worked on engaging with members at the grassroots level. In order to provide a direct link between our chapter leaders, who represent us locally, and the society governing board, I have set up PES Chapters\u2019 Councils in China, India, Africa and Latin America with chapter chairs as the core members. These councils have empowered local leaders to initiate local programs. Furthermore, in order to provide lifelong learning opportunities for IEEE members, I led the efforts to set up the PES University. This \u201cuniversity\u201d offers tutorials, webinars, plain-talk courses \u2013 some online, some face-to-face \u2013 in the field of interest of

engineering. With almost 2,000 conferences, 150 magazines and journals, global standards activities and with five million articles in the IEEE Xplore digital library, the IEEE is a very complex organization. Members, and technology professionals in general, benefit from IEEE in many different ways. At the same time volunteers give their time and effort to keep the IEEE engine running. However, many other volunteers do not find the IEEE relevant to their work, or cannot benefit from the IEEE offerings.\u00a0 I will work to address this situation.<\/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\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a57fd21 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a57fd21\" 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-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6c1245c\" data-id=\"6c1245c\" 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-cd69cdc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cd69cdc\" 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 style=\"text-align: left;\">I am running for IEEE President-elect as an extension of my volunteer service to IEEE which began in 1985 when I was elected the chair of the IEEE Virginia Mountain Section.
