SUMMARY:UIC AI Symposium in Business and Society
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Information Decision Sciences (IDS) of the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) is thrilled to invite you to attend the 4th Annual Symposium on AI in Business and Society.  \nAI is transforming industries and society at an unprecedented pace\, revolutionizing fields like energy\, manufacturing\, healthcare\, consumer insights\, and supply chains. While these advancements unlock powerful solutions\, challenges remain in achieving enterprise-scale monetization of AI while addressing critical ethical and policy concerns—ranging from bias and transparency to data security and sustainability. \nThis symposium unites leading experts and practitioners for a dynamic program of keynotes\, talks\, fireside chats\, and panels. Together\, we will explore cutting-edge AI applications\, responsible strategies\, and workforce implications that ensure AI drives both business success and societal benefit. Join us to help define the future of AI innovation with accountability. \nWhat you’ll gain from this symposium: \n\nActionable frameworks for responsible AI\, designed for business and societal impact.\nExpert insights into scaling AI within organizations\, tackling data security\, and workforce readiness.\nA deep dive into the economics behind building and sustaining AI energy infrastructure.\n\nOrganizing committee (alphabetical): Prof. Boxiao Chen\, Prof. Alvin Chin\, Prof. Michael Choi\, Ying Liu ( Department Affiliate)\,  Mr. Whusheane Perry (chair)\,  Prof. Ali Tafti\, and Prof. Jim Treleaven. \nIEEE Chicago members are welcome to attend this AI symposium in person.  Please use the code BACEGUEST to get 50% registration discount.  \n750 South Halsted St\nIllinois Rooms AB\nChicago\, IL 60607

SUMMARY:Modeling and Simulation of Inverter Based Resources and their Controls - a four hour virtual seminar.  Earn 4 PDH's.
DESCRIPTION:As the electric grid undergoes rapid transformation\, inverter-based resources (IBRs) are playing an increasingly central role in power system performance. The accelerating deployment of renewable generation—particularly wind and solar—combined with the growing demand from large-scale data centers\, is driving unprecedented levels of IBR penetration across the grid. This shift toward power electronics–dominated resources introduces new dynamics that differ fundamentally from traditional synchronous machines. \nUnderstanding how to model\, analyze\, and control these resources is essential for maintaining system reliability and stability. IBRs rely on fast-acting control systems\, and their interactions with the grid can introduce complex behaviors\, particularly in weak system conditions or during disturbances. \nThis training session provides a structured and practical introduction to the modeling and control of IBRs in modern power systems. The course begins with a review of control system fundamentals\, including key concepts such as transfer functions\, stability analysis techniques (Bode\, Root Locus\, and Nyquist)\, and small-signal behavior. It then connects these principles to real-world power system applications\, including frequency response\, voltage control\, and power system stabilization. \nParticipants will explore common instability mechanisms associated with high IBR penetration\, including grid-related interactions (e.g.\, weak grid conditions\, sub-synchronous control interactions\, and harmonics)\, IBR-to-IBR interactions\, and interactions with synchronous machines. The training also provides an overview of current industry modeling requirements\, including relevant NERC reliability standards and recent regulatory developments\, along with guidance on model selection and the use of both phasor-domain and EMT simulation tools. \nDesigned for engineers involved in system planning\, operations\, and interconnection studies\, this session combines foundational theory with practical insights to help participants better understand and address the challenges associated with integrating IBRs into today’s evolving power systems. \n\,

SUMMARY:IAS/IES Chicago Technical Meeting - IES RP-7-21: Lighting for Industrial Applications
DESCRIPTION:Ryan Morgan of Dialight will provide a presentation on IES RP-7-21 Recommended Practice: Lighting Industrial Facilities. \nThe Dialight RCEP RP-7 course provides a guide to industrial lighting based on IES RP-7-21 standards\, focusing on how quality illumination improves safety and reduces defects. The curriculum covers technical metrics like glare control and compares LED technology to traditional systems\, with a strong emphasis on equipment durability in harsh or hazardous environments. Ultimately\, the training prepares professionals to use engineering design checklists and practice targets to ensure safety and efficiency at complex worksites. \nAttendees will receive 1-PDH credit upon request. \n\,
