  • SSCS Distinguished Lecture: Considerations and Implementations For High Data Rate Interconnect

    Bahen Centre Room B024, 40 St. George Street Toronto, ON M5S 2E4

    Thursday Nov 15, 2018 at 1:30 p.m. Dr. Daniel Friedman, Distinguished Research Staff Member, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, will be presenting “SSCS Distinguished Lecture: Considerations and Implementations For High Data Rate Interconnect”. Day & Time: Thursday November 15th, 2018 1:30 p.m. ‐ 2:30 p.m. Speaker: Dr. Daniel Friedman Distinguished Research Staff Member IBM T.J. Watson Research Center Organizers: IEEE Toronto Solid-State Circuits Society Location: Bahen Centre Room B024 40 St. George Street Toronto, ON M5S 2E4 Contact: Dustin Dunwell Abstract: Cloud computing requires many different interconnects. These links provide connectivity between and among CPUs, accelerators, memory, and switches; each link comes with its own distance and bandwidth requirements. Wireline transceivers are responsible for sending and receiving data from one chip to and from another, thus enabling required connectivity. Key specifications for such designs include data rate, power consumption, area, and connection distance. Distance and data rate specifications, in particular, drive the choice of physical channel to be used for the connection, which in turn drives requirements including the equalization capabilities of the transceiver. For short chip-to-chip channels with limited frequency-dependent loss, simple transceivers with little or no integrated equalization are appropriate, while for longer channels crossing backplanes and involving multiple transitions through connectors, complex transceivers with adaptive transmit and receive equalization are the right choice. As connection distances grow even longer, optical interconnect becomes an attractive option. In this talk, a framework for understanding serial link design will be presented, including a discussion of basic equalization strategies and key challenges. Next, several design examples will be presented, covering approaches to key classes of interconnect, from short reach channels to backplane channels to enabling highly integrated optical approaches. The talk will conclude with a discussion of emerging directions in this field. Biography: Daniel Friedman is currently a Distinguished Research Staff Member and Senior Manager of the Communication Circuits and Systems department of the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center. He received his doctorate from Harvard University in 1992 and subsequently completed post-doctoral work at Harvard and consulting work at MIT Lincoln labs, broadly in the area of image sensor design. After joining IBM in 1994, he initially developed field-powered RFID tags before turning to high data rate wireline and wireless communication. His current research interests include high-speed I/O design, PLL design, mmWave circuits and systems, and circuit/system approaches to enabling new computing paradigms. He was a co-recipient of the Beatrice Winner Award for Editorial Excellence at the 2009 ISSCC, the 2009 JSSC Best Paper Award (given in 2011), and the 2017 ISSCC Lewis Winner Outstanding Paper Award; he holds more than 50 patents and has authored or co-authored more than 75 publications. He was a member of the BCTM technical program committee from 2003-2008 and of the ISSCC international technical program committee from ISSCC 2009 through ISSCC 2016; he served as the Wireline sub-committee chair from ISSCC 2012 through ISSCC 2016.

  • Experience with an on-line hydro generator expert system monitoring system

    Bahen Centre for Information Technology, 40 St George St, Toronto, ON M5S 2E4, Canada

    Thursday, November 15th 2018, IEEE Toronto Industry Application Society will be hosting a talk on “Experience with an on-line hydro generator expert system monitoring system”. Day & Time: Thursday November 15th, 2018 6:00 p.m. ‐ 7:00 p.m. Organizer: IEEE Toronto Industry Application Society Location: Building: Bahen Centre for Information Technology University of Toronto 40 St. George Street Toronto, Ontario Canada M5S2E4 Contact: Hoda Youssef Register: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/178319 Abstract: Current technological advances in condition monitoring are employing an increasing number of complex sensors and advanced monitors to diagnose the operating status and condition of hydro generators and turbines. Advanced systems routinely employed may include bearing vibration, air gap, shaft voltage, and current monitoring, partial discharge, and flux monitoring. Proper interpretation of this often complex information can lower operating and maintenance expenses, in addition to reducing unscheduled outages and catastrophic failures. However, the volume of available data from these monitors, and the extensive interpretation necessary to evaluate the complex waveforms and spectrums can overwhelm plant personnel and resources. Sophisticated software and algorithms are often necessary to correlate and interpret this data to establish the overall generator and drive train condition. HydroX™ (for Hydro Expert) is a commercial knowledge-based expert system program for on-line monitoring of hydro-generators. Working with the New York Power Authority, the system was developed over five years by Iris Power and GE -Bently Nevada. After a further two years of prototype evaluation at NYPA’s St. Lawrence Power Project on two 60MVA generators, the validated system is now commercially available and will be described.

  • Next-Generation Protection Technologies for Power Systems: The Quest for Resilience

    Ryerson University, Department of Computer Science, Room 288 George Vari Engineering and Computing Centre 245 Church Street, Toronto, ON – M5B 2K3

    Friday Nov 16, 2018 at 9:30 a.m. Dr. Ali Hooshyar, Editor of IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery & IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid, will be presenting “Next-Generation Protection Technologies for Power Systems: The Quest for Resilience”. Day & Time: Friday November 16th, 2018 9:30 a.m. ‐ 11:00 a.m. Speaker: Dr. Ali Hooshyar Editor of IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid Organizers: IEEE Toronto Systems Chapter Location: Ryerson University, Department of Computer Science, Room 288 George Vari Engineering and Computing Centre 245 Church Street, Toronto, ON – M5B 2K3 Contact: Mehrdad Tirandazian Abstract: The resilience of power systems is known as their ability to predict, adapt to and quickly recover from various disruptive events. Power grids have always been subject to such events, but in the last few years, the frequency and severity of large-scale disruptions have increased due to the growing number of major climate disasters. In addition, the increasing reliance on the cyber layer of smart grids has diversified the causes of major disruptions. Attackers can exploit the grid’s cyber vulnerabilities to manipulate protection and control commands, as was the case with the 2015 and 2016 blackouts in Ukraine. These recent developments have intensified the efforts to improve grid resilience. Large-scale disruptions usually involve abnormal currents and voltages—to which the protection system of the grid is expected to respond—, or involve trip commands to circuit breakers, which can originate from protective devices. Furthermore, some of the strategies to increase grid resilience alter the short-circuit behavior of the grid. As a result, substantial upgrades in the protection system are necessary to meet the demands for higher grid resilience. This talk will highlight some of the major changes required to prevent large-scale disruptive events or improve the grid operation during such events. Various protection system challenges that the speaker has unveiled are discussed, followed by the proposed solutions. Two of these challenges are elaborated in detail: first, this talk focuses on the relation between grid resilience and protection of microgrids, which can ensure the continuity of power supply during major disruptions in the transmission system. The performance of existing commercial relays for microgrid protection is demonstrated, and the requirements to eliminate the shortcomings of these relays are identified. Afterwards, this talk shows how cyber-attacks on communication-assisted protection schemes can lead to wide-area disruptions throughout the grid. The vulnerabilities of such schemes and a new approach to address them are discussed. Biography: Ali Hooshyar received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Waterloo in 2014. He joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto in 2018. He was with the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department, York University, Toronto, from 2015 to 2018. His research interests include protection and control of renewable energy systems and smart grids. Dr. Hooshyar is an Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery and the IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid.
