This shift is not going to be limited to any single segment or sub-sector. It is going to be much broader and even potentially total\, simultaneously affecting several seemingly disparate segments. \nThe future power grid is going to be “multilateral.” The delivery in and out of the grid is going to get more complicated: utilities and developers needed to place solar or wind onto the most appropriate nodes\, industrial customers need to understand which of their sites are most suitable for renewables and\, more and more individuals will be placing solar panels on their rooftops and parking an EV in their garages. All these different actors would need to communicate with each other\, trade with each other. and ultimately\, balance each other so that the grid would be able to continue to function reliably. The coal- and gas-fired generation will be replaced by renewables and the core issue with renewables\, is intermittency; the sun doesn’t always shine and the wind doesn’t always blow. All of a sudden\, the power sector would need to become a lot better at the weather forecasting business. This requires highly sophisticated – not generic – AI and machine learning software. Likewise\, on the demand side\, the coming wave of EVs – even if\, realistically\, it might need to wait until sufficient charging infrastructure is built – is introducing an entirely new and volatile source of demand. As sources of both supply and demand increasingly fragment\, participants need to look outside of their own organizations to collate and make sense of these new data streams in real-time. No one player holds all the cards anymore: that’s the nature of the multilateral grid. This is thus heavily reliant on first generating the most comprehensive data and analytics possible. \nKey takeaways from this webinar: \n\nCustomer and data-centric design\nEnergy Transition\nData analytics\, probabilistic modeling\, and real-time risk-limiting control\n\nPresenter:\nProfessor Akhtar Kalam\, EIT Academic Board Deputy Chair\nBSc\, BScEng\, MS\, PhD\, FIET\, CEng\, FAIE\, FIEAust\, CPEng\, NER\, APEC Engineer\, IntPE(Aus)\, PEV\, MCIGRE\, Life Senior Member of IEEE. \n\nHead of External Engagement and Professor at Victoria University\nChair and Deputy Chair of TCA and EIT Academic Board\, respectively\nDirector of Al-Kalam Educational Solutions\nEditor-in-Chief of AJEEE\nDistinguished Professor/Adjunct Faculty in Australia\, India\, Malaysia and Oman\nPublished over 610 publications in his area of expertise and written over 29 books in the area\nSupervised 49 postgraduate research students to graduation consisting of 38 PhDs and 11 MEng.

Automotive BiW has on average about 2000 to 5000 spot welds\, used to join different parts of the BiW made from different materials or thicknesses. The process has different parameters such as welding current\, weld time\, weld force\, and electrode diameter that individually and in combination affect the spot weld quality and mechanical strength. The strength of the individual spot weld plays a role in ensuring that it can sustain the impact load without failing and maintaining the structural stiffness and noise\, vibration\, and harshness (NVH) performance of the BIW while providing safety for passengers. \nIn recent years\, automotive structure design has moved towards multi-materials design (MMD) in creating lightweight structures\, improved crashworthiness\, and reduced CO2 emission. Materials such as aluminum alloys\, magnesium\, and polymer composites are being introduced as part of the MMD strategy to replace the traditionally used steels. This webinar will provide an overview of the challenges faced in using RSW in joining materials other than steel. The webinar will also explain process changes in RSW to weld composite joints and alternative welding methods that are currently being used to replace RSW. \nPresenter: Dr. Aravinthan Arumugam\, EIT Lecturer and Unit Coordinator \nAravinthan Arumugam has 20 years of experience spread between industrial practice\, engineering consultancy\, research and development\, and academia.

Hence\, transformer efficiency in distribution networks has been widely studied. A few researchers believe that more efficient transformers must be considered\, whereas others believe in making improvements in distribution network characteristics to be able to make the most out of distribution transformers. The advantages and disadvantages of Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) and Light Emitted Diode (LED) Lamps from an energy perspective have been debated quite effectively in literature. As the power utilities and their customers are showing increased concern about energy efficiency and power quality\, some mixed feelings toward new household lamps exist. Thus\, the effect of harmonic distortion owing to CFLs’ and LEDs’ extensive usage was studied. \nIn this webinar\, CFL and LED are first introduced with a focus on their vital electric characteristics. Subsequently\, transformer de-rating under non-sinusoidal conditions from the standard point of view is investigated. Additionally\, the current harmonic levels of the lamps were measured using a power quality analyzer. Transformer loading was calculated and simulated for both the CFL and LED loads. Finally\, the effect of CFLs on transformer de-rating is compared to that of the LEDs. \nKey takeaway from this webinar: \n\nBe able to evaluate transformer efficiency and derating in the case of non-sinusoidal loads.\nBe able to analyze the effects of various types of lamps on transformer losses.\nA combination of CFLs and other types of lamps are recommended to minimize harmonic distortion levels.\n\nPresenter: Dr. Mohammad (Mo) Salay Naderi\, EIT Lecturer & Electric Power Systems Expert \n\nJoin us to learn more at this must-attend event for engineering professionals and aspiring engineers alike. \nReserve your spot at this free webinar today! \n\nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.\nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.\n\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in Australian Western Standard Time (AWST).

For this design\, wind and earthquakes are the main loads the footing needs to resist. \nIt is going to be an illustrative problem based on an actual example of an Amine treater skid. Three load combinations are considered for the design as follows: \nCombo 1: 1.2G+1.2Q\nCombo 2: G+EQ\nCombo 3: 0.9G+W \nG is the dead load (structural weight at operation)\, W is the wind load which is calculated with respect to the area of the structure in each direction\, and EQ is the earthquake load which is calculated considering the weight of the structure and center of gravity. \nFor this design\, 12 independent footings are considered and the design is carried out considering the load combinations. The structural toolkit is used to conduct the design and find the footing dimensions. \nThereafter\, the footing is modeled in SPACE GASS subject to three load combinations to find out the shear and moments. Then\, the shear capacity of the concrete is checked\, and the moment reinforcement is to be calculated. Finally\, a footing drawing is given to illustrate the design. \nThis topic helps to provide a general understanding of footing design in practice. \nKey takeaway from this webinar: \n\nLearning industrial footing design concepts.\nLearning how to figure out a structure and loadings.\nLearning structural analysis using SPACE GASS and design using Structural Toolkit.\n\nPresenter: Dr. Behzad Mohammadzadeh\, EIT Lecturer \n\nJoin us to learn more at this must-attend event for engineering professionals and aspiring engineers alike. \nReserve your spot at this free webinar today! \n\nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.\nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.\n\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in Australian Western Standard Time (AWST).

This shift is not going to be limited to any single segment or sub-sector. It is going to be much broader and even potentially total\, simultaneously affecting several seemingly disparate segments. \nThe future power grid is going to be “multilateral.” The delivery in and out of the grid is going to get more complicated: utilities and developers needed to place solar or wind onto the most appropriate nodes\, industrial customers need to understand which of their sites are most suitable for renewables and\, more and more individuals will be placing solar panels on their rooftops and parking an EV in their garages. All these different actors would need to communicate with each other\, trade with each other. and ultimately\, balance each other so that the grid would be able to continue to function reliably. The coal- and gas-fired generation will be replaced by renewables and the core issue with renewables\, is intermittency; the sun doesn’t always shine and the wind doesn’t always blow. All of a sudden\, the power sector would need to become a lot better at the weather forecasting business. This requires highly sophisticated – not generic – AI and machine learning software. Likewise\, on the demand side\, the coming wave of EVs – even if\, realistically\, it might need to wait until sufficient charging infrastructure is built – is introducing an entirely new and volatile source of demand. As sources of both supply and demand increasingly fragment\, participants need to look outside of their own organizations to collate and make sense of these new data streams in real-time. No one player holds all the cards anymore: that’s the nature of the multilateral grid. This is thus heavily reliant on first generating the most comprehensive data and analytics possible. \nKey takeaways from this webinar: \n\nCustomer and data-centric design\nEnergy Transition\nData analytics\, probabilistic modeling\, and real-time risk-limiting control\n\nPresenter: Professor Akhtar Kalam\, EIT Academic Board Deputy Chair\nBSc\, BScEng\, MS\, PhD\, FIET\, CEng\, FAIE\, FIEAust\, CPEng\, NER\, APEC Engineer\, IntPE(Aus)\, PEV\, MCIGRE\, Life Senior Member of IEEE. \n\nHead of External Engagement and Professor at Victoria University\nChair and Deputy Chair of TCA and EIT Academic Board\, respectively\nDirector of Al-Kalam Educational Solutions\nEditor-in-Chief of AJEEE\nDistinguished Professor/Adjunct Faculty in Australia\, India\, Malaysia and Oman\nPublished over 610 publications in his area of expertise and written over 29 books in the area\nSupervised 49 postgraduate research students to graduation consisting of 38 PhDs and 11 MEng.

The webinar discusses the application of an ANN-based UPQC to enhance the power quality of a three-phase Low-voltage network connected to a hybrid distribution generation (DG) system. The proposed work emphasizes the detailed performance analysis of a distributed generation system that integrates a solar PV and wind energy system by utilizing the Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) with an artificial neural network (ANN) controller with respect to a proportional-integral (PI) controller. The core objective of the proposed ANN is to offer good steady and dynamic state performance compared to the PID controller. \nThe system called UPQC-ANN-RE feeds energy generated by a photovoltaic array and a wind turbine into the electrical grid and loads attached to a system of 3-phase 4-wire electrical distribution. In addition to inserting active/real power in the utility grid\, the system of UPQC-ANN-RE functions as a UPQC\, improving power quality signs e.g.\, voltage and current harmonics and power factor. A detailed analysis of the active-real power flow by converters is carried out to allow a good understanding of the operation of the UPQC-ANN-RE. The simulation outcomes are presented to assess the dynamic and steady-state performance of the system of UPQC-ANN-RE connected to an electrical distribution system and to compare the consequences with the PI controller. s. \nKey takeaways from this webinar: \n\nRenewable Energy sector\nDistributed Generation systems\nPower system Quality\n\nPresenter: Dr. Munira Batool \, EIT Unit Coordinator and Lecturer. \nI am working as an Online Lecturer\, Unit Coordinator\, and Postgraduate Research Supervisor in the Electrical Engineering Department of EIT\, Australia.

The main objective of this webinar is to demonstrate how computational methods can be used to understand flow patterns within problems that are difficult to simulate experimentally. \nSuccessful rocket design involves accurately estimating the thrust generated by it’s nozzle. The thrust parameter however\, is dependent on the ambient pressure and the pressure within the combustion chamber of the rocket. Developing an experimental set up to accurately measure the thrust produced for a supersonic nozzle is a challenging task. With computational tools\, it is relatively easy to simulate the same flow phenomena on a computer. Once a computational setup is created to replicate a given nozzle profile\, the same setup can be used to understand the nozzle’s performance for varying ambient pressure encountered at different altitudes. The thrust profile thus determined can be used in estimating the rocket’s orbit for a given payload. In the webinar\, we will generate a geometry in Ansys Spaceclaim and generate a structured mesh using blocking technology. The mesh will be solved in Ansys Fluent to capture relevant flow phenomena. \nKey takeaways from this webinar: \n\nUsefulness of simulation in solving problems difficult to reproduce experimentally.\nVisualization of complex flow patterns in a supersonic intake duct.\nUsefulness of Ansys CFD workflow to simulate complex fluid dynamic flow fields\n\nPresenter: Mr Vijay Kumar Veera\, EIT Lecturer. \nVijay Kumar Veera is a qualified Aerospace Engineer with over 11 years of experience in using CFD methodologies to simulate industrial and academic problems.

Hydrogen has been considered as one of the alternate energy resources which can produce less or nearly zero emissions as compared to fossil fuels. \nWhy Hydrogen? \nHydrogen is a versatile energy carrier and feedstock. It can be derived primarily by splitting water molecules or by reacting fossil fuels with steam or controlled amounts of oxygen. While hydrogen has served mostly as an input into a range of industrial processes\, it has the potential to be used across a number of applications. If produced using low or zero emissions sources\, hydrogen can enable deep de-carbonization across the energy and industrial sectors. \nThe technologies that underpin the hydrogen value chain can be broadly classified as: \n\nProduction: technological pathways for generating hydrogen \nStorage and transport: technologies that store and distribute hydrogen from the point of generation to end use\, and\nUtilization: technologies that allow for hydrogen to be used in various applications.\n\nThis webinar will focus on the physical and chemical properties of hydrogen\, various routes of producing hydrogen\, its storage technologies\, and its application in various process industries. \nKey takeaways from this webinar: \n\nIn-depth knowledge of Hydrogen production technologies and storage\nApplications of hydrogen\nHow to create a sustainable future with hydrogen technologies\n\nPresenters: \nDr. Shakil Ahmed & Dr. Harisinh Parmar\, EIT Lecturers. \nBoth presenters are lecturers in EIT’s Professional Certificate of Competency in Hydrogen Energy – Production\, Delivery\, Storage\, and Use. \nJoin us to learn more at this must-attend event for engineering professionals and aspiring engineers alike. \nReserve your spot at this free webinar today! \n\nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards. \nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.\n\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in Australian Western Standard Time (AWST).

For instance\, if the amount of the generated power from renewable energy sources exceeds the load demand during peak power generation periods\, the power system may be overloaded and subsequently\, protection devices may be triggered. \nTo ensure the stability and quality of the power system\, power system operators continually update the requirements for photovoltaic (PV) systems for the connection to the grid\, referring to as grid codes and standards\, which aim to reduce the adverse effects of the high penetration of installed PV systems in the power system. \nThis seminar presents an overview of various grid codes and standards for the operation of grid-friendly PV systems. According to these new requirements\, a flexible power injection capability is required in PV systems. Various algorithms for the flexible power point tracking in PV systems will also be presented in this seminar. Furthermore\, the operation of PV systems during voltage and frequency disturbances will be explained. \nKey takeaways from this webinar: \n\nNew challenges in power system with high penetration of photovoltaic systems.\nGrid support functionalities of photovoltaic systems.\nFlexible power point tracking in photovoltaic systems\, a solution to provide grid support functionalities in photovoltaic systems.\n\nPresenter: Dr. Hossein Dehghani Tafti \nHossein Dehghani Tafti received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in electrical engineering and power system engineering from the Amirkabir University of Technology\, Tehran\, Iran\, in 2009 and 2011\, respectively\, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Nanyang Technological University\, Singapore\, in 2018.

The main objective of this webinar is to demonstrate how computational methods can be used to understand flow patterns within problems that are difficult to simulate experimentally. \nSupersonic inlet aerodynamics involves complex flow phenomena such as flow compression\, flow deceleration\, shock waves\, turbulent boundary layers\, shock / boundary layer interactions\, separated flow\, flow control\, etc. Developing an experimental set up to accurately visualize these process is a challenging task. With computational tools\, it is relatively easy to simulate the same flow phenomena on a computer. Once a computational setup is created to replicate established data\, the same setup can be used to understand the flow field on a different geometry. This set-up can be further used to conduct parametric studies to compare the efficiency of various designs in maximizing total pressure recovery\, limiting total pressure distortion\, and limit inlet drag of an intake \nIn the webinar\, we will generate a geometry in Ansys Spaceclaim and generate a structured mesh using blocking technology. The mesh will be solved in Ansys Fluent to capture relevant flow phenomena. \nKey takeaways from this webinar: \n\nUsefulness of simulation in solving problems difficult to reproduce experimentally.\nVisualization of complex flow patterns in a supersonic intake duct.\nUsefulness of Ansys CFD workflow to simulate complex fluid dynamic flow fields.\n\nPresenter: Mr Vijay Kumar Veera \nVijay Kumar Veera is a qualified Aerospace Engineer with over 11 years of experience in using CFD methodologies to simulate industrial and academic problems.

To download the recording and presentation slides\, please complete the form below.\n \nMicrogrids are becoming increasingly attractive to consumers and as such in the future\, a great number of them will be installed at consumer’s sites. In this situation\, conventional distribution networks that accept distributed generation connections may face serious difficulty when its control and protection functions become more complicated. This incurs a burden to the network operation and some technical limitations will appear when a great number of distributed generations are installed. One way of overcoming such problems\, a micro grid system is formed to provide reliable electricity and heat delivering services by connecting distributed generations and loads together within a small area. A microgrid is usually connected to an electrical distribution network in an autonomous way and employs various distributed generation technologies such as micro-turbine\, fuel cell\, photovoltaic system together with energy storage devices such as battery\, condenser and flywheel. Micro grids can cause several technical problems in its operation and control when operated as autonomous systems. This presentation will review technical challenges on micro grid and embedded generation on the network. \nKey takeaways from this webinar: \n\nMicro grid and embedded generation pose technical challenges on the network.\nPower System Protection\, if properly commissioned can resolve many of the technical issues.\nImportance of Power System Protection in the current privatized environment.\n\nPresenter: Professor Akhtar Kalam\, EIT Academic Board Chairman \nBSc\, BScEng\, MS\, PhD\, FIET\, CEng\, FAIE\, FIEAust\, CPEng\, NER\, APEC Engineer\, IntPE(Aus)\, PEV\, MCIGRE\, Life Senior Member of IEEE. \nProfessor Akhtar Kalam has been at Victoria University (VU)\, Melbourne since 1984 and a former Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Health\, Engineering and Science and Head of Engineering of the College of Engineering and Science.
