SUMMARY:IntentC - An Experimental Compiler of Intent
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by: ACM Chicago and UIC Information and Decision Science Department \nThe way we build software has changed forever—but some fundamentals remain essential. Core foundations of software engineering—abstraction\, collaboration\, correctness\, and composition—still matter.\nIntentC is an exploration of what a mature software engineering project might look like in the future. The talk will examine how software projects should be defined\, built\, and evolved\, drawing on both experimental ideas and real-world industry experience.\nThe session will include:\n\nPrepared materials and live demos\nInsights from a senior industry leader at Indeed\nThoughtful discussion on the future of software engineering\nAmple time for questions and community conversation\n\nThis event is especially relevant for students interested in software engineering\, computer science\, data science\, systems design\, research\, and tech careers in industry.\n \n750 South Halsted St\n605\nChicago\, IL

SUMMARY:Fueling Generation Demand: Developing the Infrastructure for New Power Production
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nLoad growth is booming\, and with that comes the increased need for power production infrastructure to support it.  But what about the infrastructure that supports the current wave of new generation\, particularly in the gas market?  While there’s a heavy focus on increasing power production to support datacenters and other emergent load demand\, the infrastructure to support new generation is an equally critical piece of the formula.  And in order to secure their ability to produce power\, many utilities are proactively investing in their gas supply infrastructure. \n  \nThis presentation takes a closer look at some critical electrical system design considerations for development of gas supply to new generation facilities\, particularly design of critical long-lead components in an increasingly time-sensitive industry. \n  \nVirtual Registration: \nVisit the peschicago.org web site to register for the virtual session via Zoom.  Click on “Calendar” in the green banner near the top of the peschicago.org web page. \n  \nIn-Person Registration: \nClick on the “Register Now” button below. \n  \nIn-Person Registration Deadline: \nMonday\, 6 April\, 5 pm Central \n  \nBurns & McDonnell\nSuite 2700 (27th floor)\nChicago\, IL 60606

SUMMARY:Severe Weather Spotter Training
DESCRIPTION:Severe Weather Season is upon us and we have already experienced four later winter tornadoes.  Learn how to recognize weather conditions that could turn deadly and how to report that information to the National Weather Service properly so that warnings can be issued.  This training satisfies the requirements for SkyWarn certification.  Even if you have no desire to become a SkyWarn weather spotter\, knowing when that nasty looking cloud approaching requires you to move quickly to shelter.  Not all areas have audible tornado alarms and you may be in a coverage gap\, so knowing what precautions to take can save your life. \nAfter completing the course\, you may optionally register to receive a SkyWarn Certificate and credentials. \nThere is no cost for either the course or the registration.  Your safety is our payment. \nSouthbridge Community Church \nOrland Park\, IL 60462

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\,
