SUMMARY:Grid Reliability and Its Vital Signs
DESCRIPTION:IEEE SF/OEB PES\, 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.\nFrequency\, 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.\nSpeaker(s): Jessica Bian\,\nRoom: Golden Gate Room\, 505 Van Ness Ave\, San Francisco\, California\, United States\, 94102\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/484938

SUMMARY:Finding and Fixing Design Debt
DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will discuss a common and pernicious form of technical debt–called design debt\, or architecture debt. I will briefly present the theoretical foundation behind this form of debt and present a broad set of evidence demonstrating its dramatic effects on project outcomes. That is the bad news. The good news is that we can automatically pinpoint the causes and scope of such debt. I will describe how we can automatically locate it\, measure it\, and create the business case for removing it. Finally\, I will explain how we can remove–pay down–this debt via refactoring. I will also sketch some of my experiences doing all of this in real-world projects\, along with the outcomes.\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE PES Montreal Chapter\nSpeaker(s): Rick Kazman\nAgenda:\n19:45 Hours – Pizza and Soft Drinks\n20:00 Hours – START of Distinguished Lecture\n21:00 Hours – END of Distinguished Lecture\n21:00 Hours – Start of Q&A\, Discussions\, Thoughts\, etc\nALL times are in EDT/EST format\nRoom: Room E-5700\, Bldg: ETS – Pavillon E\, École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS)\, 1100 Notre-Dame St W\, Montreal\, Quebec\, Canada\, H3C 1K3\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/485820
