Buildings not only offer space for working and living\, they are also capital investments. Their value can be maintained only if they are operated cost-effectively. A constant reliable energy supply is central for economic growth and stability\, as well as social wellbeing. However today’s grids were not designed to handle the growing power requirements or the increasing proportion of fluctuating power generated from renewable sources. Transportation of people and goods is a top priority for metropolitan areas. Population growth\, congestion and the growing demand for mobility all place increasing burdens on transport systems with negative impacts for businesses\, residents and overall quality of life. A Smart City applies state-of-the-art solutions enabled and improved by holistic Integration for the sake of the people\, of the administration\, of the business as well as of the environment. \n6:00 pm-6:30 pm: Opening \n6:30 pm-7:00 pm: Introduction to Smart Cities by Lucia Casacia\, Vice President\, Cities and Infrastructure Projects\, Siemens Canada & Dr. Tom Murad\, Country Lead – Engineering\, Technology & Academic Relations\, Siemens Canada \n7:00 pm-7:20 pm: Transportation Initiatives and Vision of the City of Toronto by Gregg Loanne\, Manager of ITS\, City of Toronto \n7:20 pm-7:40 pm: Preparing for Automated Vehicles at the City of Toronto by Fahad Khan\, Project Lead\, City of Toronto \n7:40 pm-8:00 pm: Focusing on Smart to Move Toronto from Good to Great by Natasha Apollonova\, Associate Vice President\, Policy\, Toronto Board of Trade \n8:00 pm-8:10 pm: Open Panel Discussion on Job Opportunities in Technology Infrastructure and Smart Cities \n8:10 pm-8:20 pm: Q&A \n8:20 pm-8:30 pm: Closing \nBiography:\nLucia Casacia\nAs the Vice President\, Cities and Infrastructure Projects\, Lucia leads Siemens Canada’s strategic focus on cities account management in order to leverage federal\, provincial and municipal government infrastructure investment in cities across Canada.

SUMMARY:Technical Seminar: PEM Fuel Cells and Electrolyzers for Clean Energy
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, January 29th at 12:00 p.m.\, Prof. Aimy Bazylak\, Canada Research Chair in Thermofluidics for Clean Energy\, will be presenting “Technical Seminar: PEM Fuel Cells and Electrolyzers for Clean Energy”. \nDay & Time: Monday\, January 29\, 2018\n12:00 p.m. ‐ 1:30 p.m. \nSpeaker: Prof. Aimy Bazylak\nCanada Research Chair in Thermofluidics for Clean Energy\nDirector of the University of Toronto Institute for Sustainable Energy\nAssociate Professor in Mechanical & Industrial Engineering \nLocation: Peter Bronfman Learning Centre\, 7th Floor\, Heaslip House\, Ryerson University\n297 Victoria Street\, Toronto\,\nM5B 1W1\, ON\, Canada \nContact: Omid Alizadeh \nOrganizer: IEEE Toronto Power & Energy Society \nAgenda: 12:00 pm – Arrival and registration\n12:15 pm – Welcome and introduction\n12:20 pm – Talk\n1:05 pm – Q&A\n1:30 pm – 2:00 pm – Closing and networking \nLight refreshments will be served. \nAbstract: The hydrogen polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell provides enormous potential for a future with clean energy. However\, PEM fuel cells and electrolyzers have not yet reached widespread commercial adoption\, and key barriers are related to inefficient heat and mass transport in microscale porous materials. Mass transport limitations arising from liquid water flooding in low temperature PEM fuel cells and oxygen gas bubble accumulation in PEM electrolyzers leads to significant inefficiencies. If these issues become resolved\, smaller and more reliable devices could be produced at a lower cost. Mass transport limitations can be minimized through the development of optimized materials\, which have tailored pore structures\, connectivities\, conductivities\, and surface wettabilities. The porous materials could be customized for mass transport with detailed information about their structure and the dominating mass transport mechanisms that result from these structures. I will discuss X-ray based visualization techniques\, such as microcomputed tomography\, synchrotron X-ray radiography\, and neutron radiography\, for investigating multiphase transport in PEM fuel cells and electrolyzers. \nBiography: Prof. Aimy Bazylak is the Canada Research Chair in Thermofluidics for Clean Energy; Director of the University of Toronto Institute for Sustainable Energy; and an Associate Professor in Mechanical & Industrial Engineering. Her research is focused on studying microscale and nanoscale materials for tailored heat and mass transport for clean electrochemical energy conversion technologies.

SUMMARY:Recent Advances In Direct Torque and Flux Control of IPMSM Drives
DESCRIPTION:Friday August 11\, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. IEEE Toronto’s Power & Energy Chapter is honoured to invite you to a seminar by professor M. Nasir Uddin\, Senior IEEE member and Professor at Lakehead University\, “Recent Advances In Direct Torque and Flux Control of IPMSM Drives”. \nDay & Time: Friday August 11\, 2017\n10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. \nSpeaker: M. Nasir Uddin\nSenior IEEE member\nProfessor at Lakehead University \nLocation: Conference Room\n147 Dalhousie St\, Toronto\, M5B 2R2 \nContact: Omid Alizadeh \nOrganizers: IEEE Toronto Power & Energy Chapter \nAbstract: With the advancements in magnetic materials and semiconductor technology\, interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) is becoming more and more popular in industrial applications due to its high energy density\, high power factor\, low noise and high efficiency as compared to conventional AC motors. Conventional field oriented vector control (VC) techniques have been widely used for high performance motor drives for many years. As an alternative to VC scheme recently direct torque and flux control (DTFC) technique is developed which is faster and simpler than that of the VC scheme as DTFC doesn’t need any coordinate transformation\, pulse width modulation and current regulators. The DTFC scheme utilizes hysteresis band comparators for both torque and flux controls. Both torque and flux are controlled simultaneously by the selection of appropriate voltage vectors from the inverter. However\, conventional six-sector based DTFC suffers from high torque ripples due to discrete nature of control system and limited voltage vector selection from the inverter. Control techniques have been developed for hysteresis controllers to minimize the torque ripples but the six sectors still limits that improvement. Furthermore\, in a conventional DTFC the reference air-gap flux is assumed constant at the rated value to make the control task easier. This produces erroneous results for high performance drives as the air-gap flux changes with the operating conditions and system disturbances. Moreover\, if the reference air-gap flux is maintained constant\, it is not possible to optimize the efficiency of the drive. \nTherefore\, this talk presents a novel eighteen-sector based DTFC scheme to achieve high dynamic performance with reduced torque ripples as compared to the conventional 6-sector based DTFC. In addition\, a model based loss minimization algorithm is integrated with the proposed DTFC scheme in order to optimize the efficiency along with high dynamic performance. Eighteen sectors are developed to overcome the unbalanced voltage vector selection of conventional six-sector based system that minimizes the torque ripples. Further\, a nonlinear controller with virtual torque and flux controls is also developed for IPMSM drive to minimize the drive torque ripples. The complete IPMSM drives incorporating the developed control techniques are successfully implemented in real-time using digital signal processor (DSP) board-DS1104 for laboratory 5-hp motor. The effectiveness of the proposed control techniques are verified in both simulation and experiment at different operating conditions. It is found that the nonlinear controller based IPMSM drive provides the best performance in terms of torque ripples among all the DTFC schemes. The results show that the proposed nonlinear/18-sector based DTFC scheme would have the potentiality to apply for real-time industrial drives. \nBiography: M. Nasir Uddin received the B.Sc. and M. Sc. degrees both in electrical & electronic engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET)\, Dhaka\, Bangladesh\, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN)\, Canada in 1993\, 1996\, and 2000\, respectively. \nHe has been serving as a Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering\, Lakehead University (LU)\, Thunder Bay\, ON\, Canada since August 2001.

For example\, photovoltaic (PV) power production has been doubling every two years\, increasing by an average of 48% each year since 2002. At the same time\, the increased penetration of nonlinear loads may introduce power quality issues to the distribution power system. Such a system with the presence of many power electronics interfaced DG and loads can be considered as an active distribution system\, where the power electronics interfaces can actively participated in the system operation and control with improved efficiency\, reliability and power quality. This talk focuses on the distribution system harmonic control through the DG-grid interfacing converters. The compensation strategies are developed using the virtual impedance control concept. \nBiography:\nDr. Yunwei (Ryan) Li is currently a Professor with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering\, University of Alberta\, Canada.
