Stability Modelling and Analysis of Converter Driven Power System
Stability Modelling and Analysis of Converter Driven Power System
The number of power electronics converters connected to electrical networks has been growing exponentially as they are part of all new generation connected to the grid. While the rapid control and fast electronic switching available with this technology offer flexibility in network operation, the dynamic interactions between several of them threaten the operational stability of the transmission grid is a concern. It is required to develop a methodology for identifying the risks associated with the stability and control interaction before a new power electronic device (e.g. Windfarm, interconnector, STATCOM) is introduced to the networkThe talk will focus on an analytical framework in impedance domain to quantify the interaction between the new plant and the rest of the network for setting additional grid connection study specifications which will include detail technical study to check and mitigate the risks associated with new power electronics interfaced generation. The framework developed is to support MMC technology, control delay, system strength and FRT capability of dynamic voltage support devices and windfarm through technical case study conducted at the research group of Bikash Pal at Imperial College London.

Human-Centered Design in Mixed Reality for Surgery and Clinical Practice
Human-Centered Design in Mixed Reality for Surgery and Clinical Practice
At the Applied Perception Lab at Concordia University, user-centered design principles are at the core of developing innovative technologies that enhance healthcare and surgical practices. By focusing on visualization techniques, display devices, and interaction paradigms, our work aims to improve user experiences in clinical workflows and surgical environments. The first part of the talk will provide an overview of our latest projects that connect technology with healthcare outcomes, including an mHealth app supporting breast cancer patients, a game for teaching safer surgery, and a VR environment designed to reduce MRI-related anxiety. These projects all focus on how technology can address specific user needs to improve healthcare experiences and <a href="http://outcomes.The" target="_blank" title="outcomes.The">outcomes.The second part will dive deeper on a specific project: the design and development of accessible and precise neurosurgical guidance tools. During neurosurgery, surgeons must map preoperative patient images onto the patient positioned on the operating room table. This mapping is essential for understanding the topology and location of anatomical structures that are not visible in the exposed surgical field. However, the process is complex, time-consuming, and prone to error. By integrating augmented reality, auditory guidance, and interaction techniques, we can offer surgeons a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of patient-specific anatomical information. These methods have the potential to reduce surgical time and improve precision, ultimately enhancing patient <a href="http://outcomes.The" target="_blank" title="outcomes.The">outcomes.The talk aims to demonstrate how focusing on human factors and perception can transform healthcare and surgical technologies, ultimately benefiting both patients and <a href="http://providers.Co-sponsored" target="_blank" title="providers.Co-sponsored">providers.Co-sponsored by: Department of Electrical and Computer EngineeringSpeaker(s): Marta, Room: Fisher Conference Room (2201), Bldg: Robarts Research Institute, Robarts Research Institute, 100 Perth Drive, London, Ontario, Canada, n6g2v4

Optimizing Methane Bioconversion: Harnessing Methylomicrobium album BG8 for Sustainable Biotechnological Applications
Optimizing Methane Bioconversion: Harnessing Methylomicrobium album BG8 for Sustainable Biotechnological Applications
As the specter of climate change looms large, methane—a potent greenhouse gas that traps heat 80 times more efficiently than carbon dioxide—poses a significant challenge. Yet within this environmental dilemma, Methylomicrobium album BG8 (MABG8), a promising bacterium known for its methane consumption, emerges as a dual-purpose solution, mitigating methane’s impact while transforming it into valuable bioproducts. Our project harnesses the potential of MABG8 to convert this environmental threat into an industrial reality and a sustainable asset for our future. However, effectively harnessing methane presents challenges due to the low metabolic activity of methanotrophs and the high energy demands of methane bioconversion. To overcome these barriers, we delve into the inner workings of these microorganisms through the synergy of metabolic engineering and bioinformatics. Genome-scale metabolic modeling provides a comprehensive view of MABG8's metabolism, allowing for precise manipulation of its internal processes. By leveraging advanced techniques such as Flux Balance Analysis and multiomics integration, we aim to engineer the microorganism’s behavior toward more efficient methane conversion while exploring symbiotic co-cultures with photosynthetic and methylotrophic organisms. This approach offers a groundbreaking and economically feasible strategy for methane biocatalysis, paving the way for innovative solutions in methane <a href="http://fixation.Co-sponsored">fixation.[]Co-sponsored by: Resilience and Clean Energy Systems (RCES)Speaker(s): Fabián Rondón, PhD studentVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/485494

Fundamental concepts related to Wi-Fi sensing, such as channelstate information (CSI), CSI measurement and data collectionprocedures, and CSI pre-processing methods, will then be covered. Acomparative analysis of existing Wi-Fi sensing datasets will bepresented. Recent deep learning approaches in Wi-Fi sensing will bediscussed, with particular emphasis on the role of self-supervisedlearning (SSL). The mechanics of contrastive and non-contrastive SSLsolutions will be examined, and a quantitative comparative analysisin terms of classification accuracy will be provided.

Impact of Shipping Noise on Marine Animals
Impact of Shipping Noise on Marine Animals
Abstract: With increased human exploration and exploitation of the seas, our oceans have become noisier than ever, driven by an increase in commercial ships by more than 50% (in terms of deadweight). In Canada, recent demands have led to a 20% increase in commercial shipping traffic and the development of new seaport infrastructures to accommodate larger commercial vessels. With broadband noise in the 50Hz-10kHz range and source levels of 150-180 dB, there is a clear need to further study the environmental impact of such noise generation. The effects of underwater radiated noise (URN) on various components of the marine ecosystem, from mussels to marine mammals, have been extensively studied in different disciplines. Responses to noise vary between: (I) audibility, (II) behavioral responses and stress reflected in altered vocalizations, (III) masking of sounds necessary for communication, localization, and foraging, (IV) physiological auditory threshold shifts, and (V) physical damage (injury) to the auditory system. Due to these effects, ship noise is considered a source of environmental pollution and should be monitored regularly through ship noise measurements. In this presentation we will discuss the impact of increasing shipping activities on the health of marine biofauna. We will learn what regulatory measures are currently being proposed to mitigate noise pollution at global, regional and local levels. We will also present the activities of our laboratory to measure, detect and assess the impact of ship noise. Finally, we will present a unique, open-access dataset for URN from small ships and make the surprising observation that the noise from small ships is comparable to that from large <a href="http://ships.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="ships.Speaker(s):">ships.Speaker(s): Roee DiamantRoom: CEME 2202 , Bldg: UBC Civil and Mechanical Engineering Building, 6250 Applied Science Lane, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6T1Z4
