SUMMARY:Design and Specification of Switchgear versus Switchboards including PV Source Connections
DESCRIPTION:Santa Clara Valley IEEE Power & Energy and Industry Applications Societies\nJoin us April 30th for a presentation and discussion on:\nDesign and Specification of Switchgear versus Switchboards including PV Source Connections to Switchboards\nSpeaker:  James Alvers\, Siemens Business Development Manager\nCost: IEEE Members $20 by 4/25: Non-Members $30 by 4/25\n(After 4/25\, if space available\, registration will be $5 more and non-refundable as we have to commit to final meal and seating count)\nDate: April 30\, 2025\, 5:30 to 8:30 PM\nPlace:  Delta/Marriott Hotel Santa Clara-Silicon Valley\, 2151 Laurelwood Road\, Santa Clara CA 95054. Check for parking instructions.\n[]Registration required\, early bird through April 25: (https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/432373)\nAbout the talk:\nElectrical power distribution relies on the connection of a series of different types of distribution equipment from the power source to the load. At its core\, are almost always low voltage switchboards and switchgear. Though the terms “Switchgear” and “Switchboard” are often used interchangeably and informally to describe a wide variety of electrical equipment\, they have very different specifications and testing standards; even the NEC includes a different definition for each. Whether selecting electrical equipment for a simple commercial project\, a data center\, or a hospital\, understanding the differences are important as they significantly affect reliability\, safety\, maintenance\, size\, cost\, working space clearances\, and more.\nThis presentation will discuss the key differences between the two\, to aid in application\, design\, and selection by consultants\, contractors\, and end-users. It will also cover the different types of circuit breakers used in switchboards and switchgear (e.g. molded case\, insulated case\, and power circuit breakers). Included will be photos of the internal construction and components to illustrate differences\, as they are significant. This will help get beyond the single line diagrams and specifications for those who have not had opportunities to visit job sites or manufacturing plants to see the equipment.\nIn addition\, since designers are increasingly working on projects with photovoltaic (PV) inverter sources\, questions arise on inverter connections and configurations for switchboards. This presentation will touch on NEC compliance\, bus sizing\, breaker position\, customer needs (future and current)\, and manufacturer requirements.\n(https://r6.ieee.org/scv-pesias/) and (https://r6.ieee.org/scv-pesias/event/pge-community-microgrids/)\nSpeaker(s): Franz\nAgenda:\n5:30  Check in\, Meet and Greet\n6:30 Dinner buffet\n7:00 Talk\n8:00 Q&A\n8:30 End\nRoom: PARKING VALIDATION CODE T6TGJ\, Bldg: Delta/Marriott Hotel Santa Clara-Silicon Valley\, 2151 Laurelwood Road\, Santa Clara\, California\, United States\, 95054

SUMMARY:Control of magnetic fields at small scales – from cell capture to steering electrons near the speed of light
DESCRIPTION:This presentation explores the frontier of microelectromechanical systems for controlling magnetic fields at small scales\, merging advances in physics and engineering with transformative applications. In the talk\, I will cover work over the past decade detailing the development of 3D miniature electromagnets that were used to steer relativistic electron beams\, with the aim of miniaturizing free electron lasers. I will also discuss the use of strain controlled magnetism—often referred to as multiferroics—as an approach for the capture and release of cells\, opening up new pathways to capture and culture cells in biomedical technology. Finally\, I will describe our activities that utilize nonlinearities inherent in multiferroic systems for applications in wireless communication. Together\, these topics illustrate a comprehensive approach to manipulating magnetic fields at small scales\, spanning applications from cell capture to the steering of electrons near the speed of light.\nSpeaker(s): Rob Candler\nAgenda:\n6:50 – 7 PM: Registration\n7-8 PM: Talk and Q&A\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/478125

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Kommuri Krishnaveni <(https://www.linkedin.com/in/krishnaveni-kommuri-35894718/)>\nTitle: Extensive AI Infrastructure considerations\nAbstract: The increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI)\, including generative AI (GenAI)\, has brought attention to the challenges posed by AI workloads on technology infrastructure. These workloads require significant computational resources and also place substantial demands on data\, storage\, and network infrastructure for tasks such as training AI models\, conducting inferencing\, and ensuring data security and governance to meet data residency and sovereignty regulations.\nBio: Dr. Krishnaveni Kommuri received the B. Tech. degree from the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University\, Hyderabad\, in 2005 and Ph.D. degree from the Koneru Lakshmaiah Education Foundation\, Vaddeswaram\, Andhra Pradesh\, India\, in 2022. She is currently working as an Sr. Software Engineer in Wipro as a IoT Edge development expert. She is involved in teaching of machine learning\, artificial intelligence\, IoT\, Embedded systems\, Python\, C\, CPP. She has around eleven years of teaching and research experiences and contributed a number of research articles in several standard journals and conference proceedings of National and International. Her main research interests include artificial intelligence\, machine learning\, Cloud computing and soft edge computing.\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Krishnaveni Kommuri\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/481785
