IEEE SF/OEB PES, SF IAS, SCV PES/IAS & R6 PES Women in Power (WiP) invite you to join our hybrid lunchtime technical meeting on Grid Reliability and Its Vital Signs by our IEEE PES Distinguished Lecturer & Past PES President Dr. Jessica Bian! The in-person lunch will start at 11:30am at the CPUC Golden Gate Room. The technical meeting will begin at 12:00pm Noon both in-person and virtually. Frequency, voltage, customer interruption. What do these vital signs tell us about the bulk power system? Learn the grid health underlying the vital signs and how to accurately assess them. This lecture will explore reliability aspects of bulk power system so that you will develop a systematic, integrated understanding of how to assess the bulk power system reliability. Additional indicators include energy emergency alerts, transmission outage rates, protection system operations, and resource reserve margin. The presentation will also provide ranges, trends, and driving factors that influence changes in these indicators. Speaker(s): Jessica Bian, Room: Golden Gate Room, 505 Van Ness Ave, San Francisco, California, United States, 94102, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/484938

Join your fellow IEEE OEB-LMAG members for lunch, and an opportunity to hear about Pixar from Dan McCoy, a key technical contributor to Pixar’s award-winning software “RenderMan”, as well as many of its blockbuster movies. Dan will talk about Pixar and the technology it uses to develop its 3D Animated movies. This is a chance to hear about how Pixar has changed the way that 3D animated movies, and all movies with 3D special effects, are made. It is also a great chance to make new friends and socialize with other IEEE members and guests. Speaker(s): Dan McCoy, Dan Agenda: Presentation and lunch. Bufett or order from menu depending upon the number of registrants. Member fee is subsidized.
