- Wednesday, November 18th at 7:00 PM
- Virtual Meeting Review Video
- Location:
On-Line (Link will be emailed from you registration information) - Please Register at the IEEE-Madison event page.
- Sponsored by IEEE-Madison Engineers in Biology and Medicine Chapter
Video: This will be a video presentation via WebEx
The event is a video presentation of a recent update from Dr. William Hartman, medical director of the UW Health Preanesthesia Assessment Clinic and Professor and Dietram A. Scheufele, the Taylor-Bascom Chair in Science Communication and Vilas Distinguished Achievement Professor at the UW-Madison and in the Morgridge Institute for Research. Dr. Hartman covers research and clinical trials of Convalescent Plasma, Covid-19 Vaccine and Monoclonal Antibody studies at UW-Madison. Dr. Scheufele examines the formation of public attitudes and policy dynamics surrounding emerging science in the era if Covid-19.
Topics include:
Convalescent Plasma Studies
Monoclonal Antibody Studies
Covid-19 vaccine Trials
Scientific Communication Issues for Covid-19
Bio: William Hartman, MD/PhD is Assistant professor of Anesthesiology, School of Medicine and Public Health, and Medical Director of UW Health Pre-Op Clinic. He is the Principal Investigator for the UW COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma Program (Adult and Pediatric Programs) and the Principal Investigator for the UW-Regeneron Monoclonal Antibody (Antispike) Clinical Trials. He is also involved in the clinical trial of the Astra-Zenca covid-19 vaccine at UW.
Dietram A. Scheufele is the Taylor-Bascom Chair in Science Communication and Vilas Distinguished Achievement Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and in the Morgridge Institute for Research. His research examines the formation of public attitudes and policy dynamics surrounding emerging science. He is an elected member of the German National Academy of Science and Engineering, a lifetime associate of the National Research Council, and a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the International Communication Association, and the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts & Letters. His consulting experience includes work for DeepMind, Porter Novelli, PBS, WHO, and the World Bank.
Joint Cedar Rapids, Madison PES/IAS: "DERECHO STORM: ELECTRICAL GRID IMPACTS AND RECOVERY"
- Thursday, November 19th at 4:00 PM
- On-Line Presentation by Corey Proctor of ITC Midwest and John Boston of Alliant Energy
- Location:
On-Line (Link will be emailed from your registration information) - Please Register at the Joint Cedar Rapids/Madison event page.
Talk: A rare derecho storm created straight line winds gusting between 126 – 140 mph in Linn/Benton Iowa counties with concentrated damage in the Cedar Rapids Iowa area. Cedar Rapids and Madison Power & Energy Societies are offering this virtual event focusing on the power system damage. Join us to hear the impacts and recovery of the power transmission network managed by ITC and the power distribution system managed by Alliant Energy.
The August 10 2020 derecho storm intensified and centered on Linn County/Cedar Rapids Iowa. Damage extended from Nebraska and beyond Indiana. Severe building and tree destruction took out the power and communication grids.
Join this event to learn of the impact and recovery on power transmission and distribution systems in the area. ITC Midwest and Alliant Energy are the presenters.

IEEE-Madison PES/IAS Webinar: "A New Grid Model Repository and New Ways to Securely Share Grid Data for Research and Industry"
- Wednesday, December 2nd at 12:00 Noon
- Virtual Talk by Terry Nielsen of GridBright
- Location:
On-Line (Link will be emailed from you registration information) - Please Register at the IEEE-Madison event page.
Talk: New control, optimization algorithms, and other research and development projects are being developed by research institutions and vendors to address new issues such as grid resilience, grid modernization, and increased penetration of distributed energy resources. However, due to the sensitivity of data sets and models that often contain critical infrastructure information and/or personally identifiable information, new research projects and vendor products cannot be easily tested on real grid data. Furthermore, if research projects and products do manage to test using sensitive data, the complete test datasets and related results cannot be shared, restricting the ability to independently validate results and perform peer review. For these reasons, in 2016, ARPA-E funded the GRID DATA project to develop new, large and realistic grid models that are public and can be used by researchers, vendors, and utilities.
A result of this project was the creation of the BetterGrids.org Grid Data Repository that contains many new, large and realistic publicly available grid models. As a follow-on and currently on-going project, ARPA-E funded another research project to reduce complexity, cost, and friction when vendors, utilities, researchers and grid business entities need to share data that does include sensitive information.
Bio: Terry Nielsen is an Executive Vice President and Board Member at GridBright. He has over 30 years of experience in defining and developing software solutions for the utility industry. His experience includes the development, implementation, and integration of Energy Management Systems (EMS), Network Model Management Systems, Distribution Management Systems (DMS) and Outage Management Systems (OMS). Terry has been teaching courses annually at EUCI and DistribuTech on ADMS, DERMS, and OMS for over five years. Terry is also currently the technical committee chair for the BetterGrids.org Grid Model Repository that serves the power systems research community.
Terry is a Senior Member of the IEEE and an active member of the several IEEE working groups. Terry has a BS in Electrical Engineering from Iowa State University.
