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.

Design verification and validation methods are included. Outlined in each step are the actions to be taken\, and the standards and reference documents to be followed. This ensures that all defined steps are followed and recorded to deliver a product to address design for fatigue loading. 11 case studies are included. \nThe webinar details the 3D geometrical form of the equipment\, particularly at joints and transitions\, which are needed to suitably accept the loading conditions\, by providing good structural continuity and load paths in a holistic design manner. \nThis webinar includes general fatigue design issues and 11 case studies the author has been involved in as principal engineering consultant\, summarising what the design shortcomings were\, where the fatigue issues occurred\, and what the design rectification solutions were. It is trusted that the text will be of use to undergraduate\, graduate as well as more senior engineers in bringing good fatigue design practices to the overall design and manufacturing processes. \nFatigue design verification methods are also summarised\, specifically in the use of computational finite element methods and correlation of the outputs with the typical fatigue analysis standards BS7608 and the numerous IIW fatigue codes. Iterations of the verification and design process must be completed to result in a fit for purpose design solution of required operational life. \nFinally fatigue validation (via strain gauging and vibration monitoring etc) methods are summarised\, again along with the iterative use of design / verification / validation actions as may be needed. \nThe webinar aims to assist attendees to achieve a suitable engineering practice based understanding of the nature of fatigue loadings\, how and why they are usually very damaging to mechanical equipment and plant subjected to them\, and the design / verification / validation skills and techniques needed to ensure such equipment and plant can withstand these loadings over a suitably long design life. The webinar will not be written from a metallurgy or materials science basis – rather a practical engineering design basis. \nKey takeaways from this webinar: \n\nGain a practical understanding of the fundamentals of good design \, verification and validation processes for fatigue operational conditions across a range of mechanical equipment and plant.\nLearn the nature and application of the critical sequential and iterative steps in the combined fatigue design / verification / validation process so that none are missed\, all are applied in the correct order and with the required intensity\, so that product function\, quality\, durability and integrity results.\nBecome aware of the nature of fatigue loadings – low cycle\, medium/high cycle\, cumulative fatigue – rainflow analysis\, cycle and damage histograms.

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.

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.

To download the recording and presentation slides\, please complete the form below.\n \nAccidents do not just happen—they are caused\, and the key to accident investigation is to find the causes. The main reason for investigating any industrial incident is to prevent a recurrence of that accident. \nIncident / Accident Investigations are essential to risk and safety management. Learning from disasters is critical to preventing future accidents and incidents. Incident / Accident Investigations provide a deeper understanding of risk and safety management and learning what went wrong can improve risk control measures. Finding the root causes of incidents/accidents is very helpful in controlling or eliminating such accidents in the future. To understand the root causes of accidents/incidents in an organization/workplace\, and why and how it happened\, investigators need to gather all related facts before and during incidents/accidents. \nThe first step in finding the cause of an accident is to examine the sequence of events that led up to it. Discovering this sequence is the goal of many of the analytical techniques in this field. In the next step\, investigators analyze all different facts to find the root causes of the accidents. After that\, they make recommendations. The purpose of this webinar is to light a spark in organizations to increase the systematic view of accidents/incidents investigation. \nKey takeaways from this webinar: \n\nAccident/Incident Investigation\, root causes\, systemic view\n\nPresenter: Dr. Asieh Soltani\, EIT Lecturer \n“I am a unit lecturer and material provider at EIT.

To download the recording and presentation slides\, please complete the form below.\n \nA common misconception is to understand sustainability as related to just environmental aspects. Indeed\, sustainability is a concept based on a triple-bottom-line framework comprised of environmental\, social\, and economic aspects. It is clear that addressing any of the three pillars of sustainability in isolation will often result in a trade-off. Therefore\, in order to achieve sustainability in a project\, it is necessary to use a balancing approach\, paying equal attention to all three dimensions. \nIn turn\, a strong association exists between construction and the three main pillars of sustainability. The construction industry generates between 2 and 3 billion tonnes of building waste a year and contributes to 5-7% of the total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and at least 7% of the employed population in most countries. Nevertheless\, the building project decisions usually satisfy only technical requirements or economic limits without profoundly considering environmental and social aspects. In this context\, this Webinar intends to discuss the importance of considering the entire sustainability concept in construction projects\, in addition to present methodologies to benefit this process. \n3 key takeaways from this webinar: \n\nA considerable amount of time is consumed in the early stages of designing construction projects on comparing different construction materials\, resources\, and methods.\nIt is possible to achieve sustainability in building projects using a balancing approach.\nThere are several methodologies that can be used to improve sustainability in the construction industry.\n\nPresenter: Mrs. Karoline Figueiredo\, 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).

To download the recording and presentation slides\, please complete the form below.\n \nWorldwide concrete is the most widely consumed civil construction material regarding its versatility\, strength\, and durability\, among other benefits. Concrete is used in almost every type of construction\, including homes\, buildings\, roads\, bridges\, airports\, and tunnels. However\, the environmental impacts of cement (and thus concrete) production are significant\, considering a mean value of 0.948 kg CO2/kg Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) for the life cycle CO2 footprint of OPC. According to The Global CO2 Initiative (2016) research revealed that significant progress in CO2U has been made in the past five years (2011-16)\, with many technologies shown to be scalable. Momentum is favorable for four major markets – building materials\, chemical intermediates\, fuels and polymers. \nTo become more sustainable\, the concrete industry also uses industrial waste by-products such as fly ash (from coal combustion) and blast furnace slag (from iron manufacture) to constitute a portion of the cement used in producing concrete. Additionally\, the incorporation of solid wastes\, such as construction & demolition and tyre rubber to replace natural aggregate are eco-friendly alternatives. \nGreen concrete is defined as concrete that uses waste material as at least one of its components\, requires less amount of energy for manufacture and\, compared to conventional concrete\, produces less carbon dioxide. However\, the climate benefit of a CO2U (carbon dioxide utilization) product depends not only on how much CO2 the product contains but also the amount of CO2 emitted in making the product. \nThe construction engineering industry is a leader in innovating sustainable practice to address the UN sustainable development goal\, and this webinar discusses the technologies that can support engineers\, architects\, and construction professionals seeking efficient\, advanced solutions that conserve non-renewable resources and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Dr. Ana Evangelista has been investigating the properties of recycled concrete and eco-friendly building materials. She will present the potential alternatives to design a durable and eco-friendly concrete mix. \n3 key takeaways from this webinar: \n\nOverview of Construction Engineering sector and UN sustainable development goals (SDG)\nAlternatives to mitigate CO2 emissions in the manufacturing process of concrete\nA recent trend in research and commercial interests in carbon capture concrete is that of the CO2 consumed during the curing and mixing of concrete\n\nPresenter: Dr. Ana Evangelista\, 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).

DESCRIPTION:The live presentation of this event has already taken place. To download the recording and presentation slides\, please complete the form below.\n \nWhat does ‘energy transition’ mean? As with any definition\, there are many we could use. One proposed here is this\, “Energy Transition is the specific change/s from one state to another of energy systems. Energy systems have specific patterns of both energy supply and demand quantities and qualities; this is their given state”. Quite a definition! If we look at history there have been three energy transitions so far: (1) wood to coal\, (2) coal to oil\, (3) coal and oil to natural gas. The Fourth Energy Transition should see renewable sources of energy replace all fossil fuels. \nAccording to some authors\, these transitions take 50 to 75 years for the new energy resource (i.e.\, renewables) to have a large share in the global energy market. If we think about the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Reports we do not have 50 to 75 years. This webinar will look at past energy transitions and discuss how the current/upcoming energy transition might pan out; will we get to 100% electrification by 2050? \n3 key takeaways from this webinar: \n\nThere have been three energy transitions.\nThe need to reduce fossil fuel consumption very quickly is urgent.\nEvery global citizen/the whole planet will be affected by the energy transition.\n\nPresenter: Dr. Lucas Skoufa\, 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).

To download the recording and presentation slides\, please complete the form below.\n \nBuilding Information Modelling (BIM) is an innovative methodology that revolutionized how construction projects are conceived. BIM can be used throughout the entire building lifecycle\, from the initial phases of project design to the building demolition phase. Nevertheless\, several BIM application possibilities are still not widespread in the market. Many professionals worldwide are still limited to using BIM-based tools to generate virtual models for geometric representation and rendering. \nBIM is advantageous in centralizing all data in the same three-dimensional model\, allowing different analyses and simulations to be carried out. This will enable professionals to reduce costs\, detect design errors\, and track building timelines\, among other possibilities. Therefore\, this Webinar intends to discuss several advantages of using BIM to enhance building decision-making processes\, presenting different concepts that can be integrated with BIM. \n3 key takeaways from this webinar: \n\nThe BIM methodology is not tied to a specific computational application. In fact\, it is a working methodology and a new way of thinking about construction projects.\nBIM can improve the project decision-making process\, minimize project errors\, and improve communication between parties.\nUsing BIM integrated with other concepts can help create a smart and sustainable built environment.\n\nPresenter: Mrs. Karoline Figueiredo\, 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).
