SUMMARY:Australia’s Renewables Growth and Electricity Network Response
DESCRIPTION:Australia’s renewable energy sector has been growing rapidly in the last several years. After a brief introduction to Australia\, it’s resources and electricity networks\, I will then give an update of the major (GW scale) renewable projects and some other key statistics and milestones in renewables growth for 2021/22.\nThis growth has led to transmission network reviews and formal announcements of renewable energy zones (REZ) in NSW and Queensland. A specific example will be given: Powerlink’s Transmission network upgrade between Townsville and Cairns which supports Queensland’s Northern renewable energy zone. Both transmission and distribution network planners are also having to decide how to manage an increasingly variable sources of generation. Options such as more storage\, demand management\, and generation control are all possible solutions. Planning for and enabling them quickly\, and hopefully at lowest cost\, is an ongoing challenge. Energex are examining MW scale batteries as a genuine mechanism for delivering distribution network capacity upgrades\, and all Distribution Network Service Providers (DNSPs) are examining Dynamic Operating Envelopes (DOEs) to better manage Distributed Energy Resources (DERs).\nFinally\, I will mention the (slow) growth of EVs in Australia\, discuss the reasons why\, and the implications as this inevitably changes.\nSpeaker(s): Geoff Walker\,\nRoom: MS 4279\, Medical Sciences Building\, 1 King’s College Circle\, Toronto\, Ontario\, Canada\, M5S 1A8

SUMMARY:IEEE ComSoc Distinguished Lecturer: Practical 5G Channel and System Modeling Techniques
DESCRIPTION:Channel link-level and system level modeling played a critical role in proper design and deployment of all generations of wireless network systems. Particularly\, system level modeling has become an important task for network planning\, network design\, and network optimization of wireless cellular systems. System level simulations allow to evaluate the performance of an entire network containing many Evolved Node B (eNodeB) sectors serving a lot of user equipment (UEs) in urban\, suburban\, and rural environments. Design and performance of new technology features require to be accurately verified and improved before deployment into commercial systems. Therefore\, real-world system performance modeling and predictions should be very reliable and should be based on repeatable measurements of how the model behaves in the actual environment. Both the wireless industry and academia have made a significant effort developing and defining new and updated channel models such as the 3GPP 3D channel model and the extended 3GPP extended channel model for milli-meter wave. New 3D geodata models with high-resolution and artificial intelligent (AI) algorithms are greatly enhancing the RF propagation modeling in line of sight (LOS) and non-line of sight (NLOS) beamformed signals and FD-MIMO antenna applications of 5G wireless network systems. In this talk\, we will review some of the key 5G wideband wireless channel modeling including the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)\, NYU SIM\, and others. We will discuss some of the general practical use cases of 5G network system modeling scenarios. Additionally\, we will describe some of the practical challenges of channel and system modeling in 5G wireless systems.\nSpeaker(s): Kafi Hassan\,\nRoom: BA 2185\, Bldg: Bahen Centre for Information Technology\, University of Toronto\, 40 St George St\, Toronto\, Ontario\, Canada

SUMMARY:Why Software Fails and Why AI cannot Help
DESCRIPTION:It was once widely believed that computers would enhance the speed\, reliability\, and applicability of human deductive reasoning in the physical and social sciences\, much as motorized vehicles (e.g.\, cars\, trains\, airplanes) have enhanced the speed\, reliability\, and applicability of human manual abilities in transportation. Yet\, 60 years later\, computers can be used confidently only for paperwork tasks\, analysis of regularly structured data\, and simple process control applications. Complex software rarely satisfies user needs\, is untrustworthy and difficult to maintain\, and largely opaque to its users. Artificial intelligence (AI) methods including heuristics\, machine learning\, and statistical methods are in opposition to sound deductive reasoning. This presentation explains certain practical and logical impediments to computer enhancement of human deductive reasoning\, the deductive limitations of modern programming languages\, the role of AI\, and provides some promising alternatives.\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/322735
