DESCRIPTION:Transportation is a leading cause of carbon emissions. Electrif
 ication of the transportation sector is a solution considered by concerned
  policymakers around the world. Supporting the electrification of the tran
 sportation sector requires a paradigm shift in the operational planning of
  the electricity grid. Besides\, to fulfill the intention of transportatio
 n electrification as a cause to diminish the carbon footprint of mobility\
 , the generated power delivered by the grid to the transportation sector s
 hould be from carbon-free resources. It will unveil several challenges to 
 the operation of the grid due to the significant increase in its load. How
 ever\, on the other hand\, it also creates opportunities to enhance operat
 ional planning of the power grid given the potential flexibility in schedu
 ling the demand. In this talk\, we will focus on the impact of electric ve
 hicles as a significant portion of transportation electrification on the e
 lectricity distribution network. We will discuss the potential challenges 
 that it brings to the electricity distribution network\, particularly the 
 potential fluctuations in voltage profile across the network. It calls for
  possible necessary upgrades to aging grid infrastructure through optimal 
 expansion planning decisions as well as short-term operational strategies 
 to mitigate such an adverse impact by leveraging artificial intelligence t
 echniques.\n\nCo-sponsored by: PES\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Manshadi\, \n\nAgend

 nsidered by concerned policymakers around the world. Supporting the electr
 ification of the transportation sector requires a paradigm shift in the op

 everal challenges to the operation of the grid due to the significant incr
 ease in its load. However\, on the other hand\, it also creates opportunit
 ies to enhance operational planning of the power grid given the potential 
 flexibility in scheduling the demand. In this talk\, we will focus on the
