This industry discussion panel will examine the various challenges and opportunities involved with starting up a technology company in northern Canada. Starting at 6:00 PM on October 1 (IEEE Day), this event will consist of a moderated discussion panel followed by an informal networking session and refreshments.Speaker(s): Tayo Shonibare, Thomas Jones, Jamie Yuen, Kevan BellRoom: Solarium, Bldg: ETLC, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, T6G 2V4, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/434125

[]On this celebratory IEEE Day, let us rejoice in the combined IEEE worldwide activities of 39 technical societies and 7 interdisciplinary councils on one side of the IEEE coin, balanced with local sections and student chapters, bringing a physical presence of IEEE to local communities. By the way, one could argue that IEEE also has a 3rd leg into humanitarian activities.These S/C span a great swathe from hardware to software, including electronic devices, solar/wind energy production, power transmission, control theory, image compression, signal processing, and computer architecture. One could say this moves from applied physics to applied math.However, this session drills down to predominantly 1 of these societies, the electron device society, where the field of semiconductor materials and devices thrives.So, with the USA's Chips and Science Act to onshore semiconductor chip manufacturing, what does this mean to you and your communities. First, the Chips portion supports semiconductor companies to build or expand domestic chip production. The Science portion aims to perform workforce development to populate those factories.Where will this new workforce come from and what do you need to do to prepare for your future? This talk aims to take a critical look at the opportunities before you in the semiconductor industry.With time permitting and audience interest, some discussion in humanitarian roles IEEE plays will also be discussed.Speaker(s): Paul Berger, PhDVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/434305

Prof. Richard Ziolkowski, University of Arizona, will provide a seminar on electrically small antennas. This seminar is part of the University of Calgary Department of Electrical and Software Engineering Research Seminar Series.After the 1-hour presentation, there will be an opportunity to meet with Dr. Ziolkowski. Light refreshments and pizza will be provided.The introduction of metamaterials and metamaterial-inspired structures into the tool set of RF engineers has led to a wide variety of advances within research and application areas treating structures that radiate (e.g., RF antennas) and scatter (e.g., optical nano-antennas). The increased awareness of complex media, both naturally occurring and artificially constructed, which has been stimulated by the debut of metamaterials, has enabled paradigm shifts in terms of our understanding of how devices and systems operate and our expectations of their performance characteristics. These shifts include the trends of miniaturization, enhanced performance (total radiated power, bandwidth and directivity), reconfigurability and multifunctionality. New techniques have been developed that are truly beginning to impact practical realizations and their applications.A variety of metamaterial-inspired, near-field resonant parasitic (NFRP), electrically small antennas have been developed that exhibit multifunctional performance, enhanced bandwidths, and higher directivities. Their engineering is achieved by combining multiple NFRP elements with simple driven radiators. Higher directivity is obtained by simultaneously exciting balanced electric and magnetic NFRP elements, leading, for example, to endfire and broadside radiating Huygens dipole antennas (HDAs). Enhanced bandwidths and loss mitigation, as well as wireless power transfer capabilities, have been achieved by augmenting the HDAs with non-Foster (active) and rectifying (rectenna) elements. A variety of HDAs and arrays of them have been fabricated and tested to confirm their attractive performance characteristics; they will be reviewed briefly.Nonetheless, even more highly directive antenna systems are being sought to address the perceived needs of the NextG / XG wireless systems and their applications. Combinations of higher order multipole electric and magnetic radiating elements have been developed that achieve unidirectional performance with even higher directivities. Several of these unidirectional mixed-multipole antennas (UMMAs) have been fabricated and tested to confirm their attractive properties. They too will be reviewed briefly.Speaker(s): Prof. Richard Ziolkowski, University of Arizona, Room: 516, Bldg: ICT, 856 Campus Pl NW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

IEEE PES Vancouver Chapter is pleased to announce the following technical talk at BC Hydro Edmonds campus.The theme of the talk is: “High-Resolution Synchronized Measurements to Support Grid Resiliency and Asset Management”.Extreme weather conditions are demanding stronger grid resiliency. To help with grid hardening, event detection, and asset management, we have deployed wideband optical electric field sensors to enable a wide-area synchronized waveform measurement system on the transmission grids with up to one mega-samples-per-second (Msps) measurement resolution. This monitoring system helps in a variety of ways to improve the grid including:1. Accurate event and fault location on the transmission lines, typically within 100 m, to assist with faster grid recovery (and shorter outage duration where applicable).2. Help with asset investment prioritization based on identifying the weak areas of the grid; for example, identifying which few transmission towers are seeing most of the faults on a transmission line, so that key problem areas can be addressed (or replaced) on priority.3. Incipient fault location on the transmission system to assist with corrective actions before the issues develop into faults and longer outages.4. Post-event analysis, including performance of protection system during events.This intelligent monitoring system helps improve grid resiliency; and most importantly, itself is architected to be very resilient and dependable. Practicality, safety, and cost efficiency have been core driving principles in deploying this system.In addition to supporting travelling-wave-based accurate event location, the sensor system provides lower-resolution synchronized measurements such as 14.4 ksps (as recommended by IEC 61869-9) for digital substation and power quality and harmonics measurement, as well as continuous synchrophasor streaming ability at 60 or 120 measurements-per-second for wide-area grid performance and stability analysis.In this presentation, we report on the measurement system performance and provide examples of field experience with accurate event location to support real-time grid operation, grid resiliency, and asset health management.Speaker(s): Farnoosh Rahmatian, Agenda: - 11:45 AM-Noon: Networking and refreshment- Noon-1:00 pm: Technical talk on High-Resolution Synchronized Measurements to Support Grid Resiliency and Asset ManagementRoom: Southpoint Room, 6911 Southpoint Drive , Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, V3N 4X8
