The supervisor of the Substation Automation division at Eversource Energy in Connecticut, Michael Lopes, will give a talk about the work environment and career opportunities. Michael Lopes has eleven years of experience working within the Field Communications Department. Michael specializes in Supervisory Controls and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Systems and numerous communication systems. Michael supervises a team of engineers and technicians that perform maintenance, training, and upgrades for the Eversource SCADA system and its associated communication hardware and software. Michael’s team works in the dynamic field of rapidly improving technology with Substation communication upgrades, Wind and Solar Distributive Generation, Volt and Var Optimization Systems, PV Solar Battery Sites, and various other systems being added to the Eversource Power Grid. Michael Lopes is also a retired Lieutenant Commander in the US Navy Civil Engineer Corps with 26 Years of service. 371 Fairfield Way, Storrs, CT 06268, ITE buitlding, room 301, Storrs, Connecticut, United States, 06268
Graduate students will show case there research work in a poster and compete for valuable prizes sponsored by UConn ECE department. Room: 3rd Floor, Bldg: ITE, 371 Fairfield Way, Storrs, Connecticut, United States
The talk will be about model predictive control which is a powerful control technique that is widely used in the process industries. A control strategy uses mathematical models of a process to predict future behavior and optimize control actions. The technique is particularly useful for controlling complex, dynamic systems, and has been applied in many different areas such as chemical, mechanical, and electrical engineering. In this seminar, Dr. Lou will cover the principles of model predictive control and provide practical examples of its application in Chemical Looping process (CL). He will also discuss the benefits and limitations of the technique, and provide guidance on how to design and implement a model predictive control system. Whether you are an engineer, researcher, or student, this seminar will provide you with valuable insights into the use of model predictive control. Dr. Lou will also Share guidelines for students for how to get prepared for working as an controls engineer in the industries after graduating from ECE. The seminar will be held on hybrid format and we encourage you to attend, and take the first step towards preparing yourself for a successful career as a controls engineer in the industries.
