How do we electrify 1 billion offgrid people worldwide? Status, Trends and Opportunities
How do we electrify 1 billion offgrid people worldwide? Status, Trends and Opportunities
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), nearly 1 billion people worldwide have no access to electricity. Conventional grid electrification is a prohibitively high cost solution for many of these remote communities. Low cost electrification alternatives through isolated solar home systems are typically limited only to basic power provisions such as light and mobile phone charging for few hours a day along with fans in some cases. Reliable and ample access to electricity is one of the key indicators of the socio-economic status of any country as it contributes to better health, education, and employment opportunities. Therefore, in this talk, the presenter will evaluate viable options for beyond subsistence off-grid electrification to bring vulnerable offgrid communities out of poverty so that they are able to contribute significantly towards their socioeconomic status.Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/277544

Univac Defense Systems: From Codebreakers to Standard Military ComputersFrom WWII to 1970This webinar presents the history of Military computers from the very first electromechanical codebreaking machines of WWII through the first Tube machines of the 1940s and early 1950s to the transistor & early integrated circuit machines of the late 1950s & 1960s. We learn of the roots of Univac Defense Systems (now part of Lockheed Martin) as the leading military computer company and how those roots were driven by the Navy’s OP-20-G communications intelligence group responsible for breaking Japanese, German, and Italian codes in WWII before becoming the NSA during the cold war. We watch the development of the Naval Tactical Data System, its computers, and how they went on to serve Navy, Marines, Air Force, NASA, and FAA.Speaker(s): David, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/276424
Data Analytics for Renewable Energy Resources
Data Analytics for Renewable Energy Resources
Data statistics and computational analysis are the subsets of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Data analytics is a process of analyzing, cleaning, transforming, and modeling the data to harness useful information. Here, detailed information of data analytics of RES applications (i.e., forecasting, prediction, and condition monitoring), data and its relation, data pre-processing, feature extraction, feature selection, and different application areas are discussed. A comprehensive list of software, dataset’s digital library are included.Houston, Texas, United States, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/277640
