Contact pi2-secretary@ieee.org if you have any questions or cannot find the WebEx details.\n\nThe April tech meeting will be hosted in a hybrid format - bot h virtual via WebEx and in person at Cover 3.\n\nIf you attend in person a t Cover 3\, we ask that all in-person attendees order at least $20 in food and drink or consider this to be a cover charge.\n\nFor PDH Hours\, pleas e email the PI2 Secretary\, Eric Meier at eric.meier@ieee.org or pi2-secre tary@ieee.org.\n\nAbstract:\n\nFrom an energy perspective\, Canada is very fortunate. It has a large land mass\, small population and one of the lar gest and most diverse supplies of energy in the world. Canada rivers disch arge close to 7% of the world’s renewable water – a tremendous source of hydroelectric power. Canada has the fourth-largest proven oil reserves and third-largest reserves of uranium\; so\, its energy resources are a so urce of strength that continues to shape the economy and society.\n\nCanad a is at the forefront of innovative technologies for how produce and use e nergy. For example\, low- or non-emitting forms of energy are growing in s ignificance as part of its evolving electricity mix. In fact\, wind and so lar photovoltaic (PV) energy are the fastest-growing sources of electricit y generation in Canada. In addition\, technological advancements\, such as co-generation\, have resulted in an increase in energy-efficient practice s and a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in areas such as the o il sands. Ongoing developments in areas such as grid-scale electricity sto rage\, carbon capture and storage\, hydrogen\, and electric and alternativ e fuel vehicles have the potential to further transform the energy system. \n\nIn this talk\, I discuss the current status and future trends of elect ricity in Canada. Also\, I will discuss about decarbonization efforts in e lectricity and transportation systems. I am going to discuss about Hydro Q uebec strategic innovation plans towards the energy transition. Next\, I w ill talk about Hydro-Québec’s research institute (IREQ) and some of its commercialized “products/co-products” such as HYPERSIM simulator\, Si mscape Electrical (formerly SimPowerSystems-SPS and SimElectronics) and EM TP-RV. Finally\, I am going to have a look on Canada’s job opportunities in the field of energy. In summary\, this talk will provide a broad overv iew of the electricity situation in Canada.\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE PI2 S ecretary\n\nSpeaker(s): Seyed Masoud Mohseni-Bonab\, \n\nAgenda: \nSign-In : 6:00 PM to 6:30 PM\n\nProgram: 6:30 PM to 7:45 PM\n\nCover 3 - 2700 W An derson Ln\, #202\, Austin\, Texas\, United States\, 78757\, Virtual: https ://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/310218 LOCATION:Cover 3 - 2700 W Anderson Ln\, #202\, Austin\, Texas\, United Stat es\, 78757\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/310218 ORGANIZER:pi2-secretary@ieee.org SEQUENCE:5 SUMMARY:IEEE PI2 Austin\, May 24th 2022\, Tech Meeting\, Electricity in Can ada URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/310218 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>IEEE PI2 Austin\, May 24th 2022\, Tech Meeting via WebEx and In-Person (REMOTE &amp\; In Person) <span style ="text-decoration: underline\;">6:30 pm Central</span>\, <span style="text -decoration: underline\;">7:30 pm Eastern</span></strong></p>\n<p><strong> <span style="text-decoration: underline\;">The WebEx information can be fo und in the meeting details here on vTools.
