Solar Photovoltaic (PV) power plants have become popular, especially in regions with high solar irradiance. However, integrating new power PV plants into the existing power grids needs thorough investigation from different aspects, such as load flow, short-circuit analysis, and power quality. Therefore, a comprehensive study of the impacts of integrating new PV plants into power grids should be accomplished before a PV power plant is allowed to be connected to power grids. In this webinar, some measures for integrating PV power plants, such as power quality, voltage profile, etc. will be discussed. In addition, a real PV power plant will be assessed to illustrate its impacts on the existing power grids. Speaker(s): Dr. Ehsan Najafi Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/362432

LaTeX is a typesetting software system used for the preparation of professional documents. Plain text is used by the author instead of the formatted text found in WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get). Formatted text is required by word processors, such as Microsoft Word, LibreOffice, or Apple Pages. It is for this reason that LaTeX is extremely lightweight, fast, flexible, and accurate. Adding a picture to a document or creating a long document will not result in a document crashing, for example. From creating high-quality vector illustrations to creating eye-catching presentations, LaTeX is used for a variety of tasks. The Internet is full of memes comparing LaTeX and Microsoft Word. The IEEE Zeta Rho Chapter at the University of New Haven is hosting a workshop on LaTeX. During this three-hour workshop, it will be discussed how to draft a paper using LaTeX with Overleaf, an online LaTeX editor. The discussion will also cover how to structure a paper and how to use the class file of a journal. Additionally, it will be discussed how to integrate graphs and tables into our document to make it more appealing. In addition, tips and tricks for making the document look more professional will be presented. The workshop will be concluded by discussing referencing and how to properly cite sources. The workshop will also include how to create a bibliography and submit a paper. Speaker(s): Mahdi Gholami Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/366079

Electric underground distribution system is generally more reliable than overhead because it is not exposed to the severe weather events round the year. However, it is still prone to failures from corrosion, mechanical issues, animal intrusion to name a few. While the number of failures is typically much less the duration of outages are much longer when compared to that for overhead. What is the best approach to minimize impact of an outage? Automate and implement FLISR system wide or retrofit monitoring or do both? In this presentation we will examine the various approaches.
