Services Provided by the IEEE-USA Consultants Committee: A Presentation for Local Consultant Network Chairs

Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/460103

A Consultants Committee Virtual Meeting A few years ago the (https://ieeeusa.org/committees/aicncc/) polled local consultants network chairs to find out the status of their local consultants network. What the Consultants Committee learned is that many local consultants networks are having trouble organizing in-person meetings. We also learned that many chairs have questions about activities of the IEEE-USA Consultants Committee. On January 30 at 12:00pm-1:00pm EST, the IEEE-USA Consultants Committee is again sponsoring a virtual workshop for local consultant network chairs. We have asked senior committee members William Kassebaum and Larry Nelson to give a presentation on key activities and services of IEEE-USA Consultants Committee. In addition, these committee members will add their commentary about what independent consultants should expect in 2025. After the presentation, there will be a Q/A with members of the IEEE-USA Consultants Committee. IEEE-USA Consultants Committee members want to address any questions about the committee's activities that local chairs may have. The speakers will address any additional questions chairs may have regarding the presentation. So, we invite all Chairs, Vice Chairs and other network officers, as well as potential future Board members, to register and attend this online event. This meeting will be recorded to be used as an on Demand resource. Speaker(s): William R. Kassebaum, Larry Nelson Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/460103

IEEE RRVS: Jan 2025 Meeting

Room: 1308, Bldg: Woodward Technology Center (WTC), 3301 N Mulford Rd,, Rockford, Illinois, United States, 61114

Join us the IEEE RRVS CCS & IAS, WIE, YP, Life members chapter Meeting at 6pm. TITLE: Drivers and Enablers of Power Electronics Technology in Aerospace. Program: The increasing demand for high efficiency is driving the aerospace industry to apply electrical energy more extensively across a range of applications. Electrical power is being utilized in areas such as vertical and winged propulsion, flight and environmental controls, utility actuation, taxiing, de-icing, and anti-icing, each at varying levels of maturity. Additionally, the need for higher efficiency electrical circuits requires higher voltages, currents, and frequencies than current aerospace standards allow. The shift from using electric generators to batteries as energy storage devices is transforming power distribution to High Voltage DC (HVDC), replacing the conventional 400Hz and variable frequency AC distribution systems. These changes are driving new requirements for electrical system architecture and the associated components. These drivers necessitate enabling technologies from material sciences, high efficiency components , and advanced algorithms to address the challenges faced by the industry. This presentation will discuss the underlying physics behind the drivers listed above and some of the enabling technologies being researched to address the industry’s evolving demand About the Speaker: Dr. Waleed Said Dr Experienced Technologist with a demonstrated history of working in the aviation and aerospace industry. Skilled in Power Systems Design & Development, Root Cause Analysis, Motor Control, and Strategic Leadership. Strong controls technology professional with a Master’s and a PhD degrees focused in Electrical and Power Electronics Engineering from Loughborough University in the UK.
