While capacity markets have been implemented in several regions, many challenging questions remain in the design arena, for instance: - What primary purposes should a capacity market serve? - How is a capacity market design compared to an energy-only design? - What is the capacity demand in the absence of demand bids from market participants? - What quantity of capacity can a resource offer into the capacity market? - How to define and measure the capacity obligation? - How to price the capacity product when the market clearing problem is nonconvex? This talk will cover some of these capacity market design topics. Some existing designs will be used as examples to facilitate the discussion and demonstrate the challenges.

This hands-on workshop, hosted by IEEE UofT Student Branch and Professor Dietz, will teach you some awesome circuit tricks, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned builder! This session is the fourth in our series of fun talks, and it's titled "Tiny Circuit Hacks: Too Many Switches!" We had some great material so we decided to split it into multiple talks! This workshop will focus on reading many switches from a much smaller number of IO pins. Attendance at the previous "Too Many LEDs" session is not required!

Modeling data and high power over free-space optic channels Abstract: Transmitting modulated data using different schemes along with high power light over free-space optic (FSO) channel under different weather conditions and scintillation strengths will be discussed. Multi-junction Photonic Power Converter (PPC) is used to detect the transmitted high power. Simulation results exploiting the newly added Universal FSO Channel component to OptiSystem software will be presented. New temporal scintillation models including Negative Exponential, Malag and K-model will be discussed. In addition, spatial scintillation model and its effect on the transmitted data and high power will be addressed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Modélisation de données et haute puissance sur les canaux optiques en espace libre Résumé : La transmission de données modulées à l'aide de différents schémas ainsi que d'une lumière haute puissance sur un canal optique en espace libre (FSO) dans différentes conditions météorologiques et intensités de scintillation sera discutée. Le convertisseur de puissance photonique multi-jonction (PPC) est utilisé pour détecter la puissance élevée transmise. Les résultats de simulation exploitant le composant Universal FSO Channel nouvellement ajouté au logiciel OptiSystem seront présentés. De nouveaux modèles de scintillation temporelle, notamment le modèle exponentiel négatif, Malag et K, seront discutés. De plus, le modèle de scintillation spatiale et ses effets sur les données transmises et la puissance élevée seront abordés.
