Climate change is the gravest threat facing humanity. Power engineering and its education have an important role to at least delay, if not avert, the catastrophes ahead. ...However, as reported by ASEE, in the EE part of ECE, student enrollments are declining nationwide just when we need them the most.
Most young people are now very much aware of climate change and its consequences, and thus it is a great opportunity to create a pipeline of young students to recruit them into power engineering to pursue their undergraduate and graduate studies. This would require a holistic view where we integrate power systems that is needed for the delivery of power, power electronics that is ubiquitous and is used in all aspect of energy generation, transmission and end-use, and electric machines that are the primary users of electricity specially if we are to transfer as much of energy use to electricity and generate that by renewables.
This presentation will present one view of doing such integration mentioned above and how can it be done in a collaborative manner using the educational technologies on hand.

The talk will give an overview of recent developments of the interior permanent-magnet synchronous machine with high field weakening range, which are required for electric vehicles. It will then describe the control challenges in... the face of significant inductance and flux linkage parameter variations which affect its performance. Lastly, a method of estimation of the machine inductance parameters using current derivatives, which is fast enough for updating inductance in each sampling interval will be described. The method can easily be used for sensorless control and for determination of long term health of the windings and the rotor magnets.

Electrical Energy Storage has played three primary roles. First, it reduces the cost of electricity costs by storing electricity during off-peak times for use at peak times. Secondly, ...it improves the reliability of the power supply by supporting the users during power interruptions. Thirdly, it improves power quality, frequency and voltage. Electrical Energy storage is expected to solve many problems, including excessive power fluctuation and undependable power supply due to the use of high penetration levels of renewable energy. Electric vehicles with batteries are the most promising technology to replace fossil fuels by electricity from mostly renewable energy sources. This presentation will highlight the technology overview, market needs, challenges and future roles electrical energy storage.

The increasing spread of renewable energy resources, both in their types and numbers, along with the ever-growing demand in electricity has brought about many technical and operational challenges to power grids. This presentation is focused on the integrity of the electrical insulation systems. ...In the past, transients due to lightning, and switching operations with load changes or fault occurrences were the main causes of overvoltages. However, in today’s grid, due to the increased use of power electronics devices and frequent operation of circuit breakers, the insulation is subjected to distorted voltages comprising of high frequency transients which may further be magnified by one or more system resonances. Hence, in areas heavily loaded with renewable energy sources the failure rate experienced by certain components like transformers is constantly increased. As such, the impact of new technologies on the electrical insulation systems needs to be understood to ensure the reliable operation of the power system components.
