It will highlight how AI can be utilized to increase the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid while avoiding any integration issues. The talk will present inno vative solutions and best practices for using AI to make power systems mor e efficient\, reliable\, and sustainable. By showcasing the potential of A I in this area\, the presentation will demonstrate how it can play a key r ole in creating a more sustainable and equitable energy system for all.\n\ nDr. Reinaldo Tonkoski (SMIEEE) is the Robert N. Haskell Power Professor i n the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at University of Main e - Orono. A 2011 PhD graduate from Concordia University\, Dr. Tonkoski ha s authored over one hundred technical publications in peer reviewed journa ls and conferences and is currently an Editor of IEEE Systems Journal\, IE EE Transactions on Sustainable Energy\, and IEEE Access. He was a Peer Rev iewer for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Electricity Energy S torage Program (2016-2018)\, providing critical assistance in guiding the execution of approximately $50M in annual energy storage research\, and a consultant for the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation project rel ated to voltage regulation (2017-2019). His research interests include gri d integration of sustainable energy technologies\, power electronics and c ontrol systems. He was with CanmetENERGY\, Natural Resources Canada\, from 2009-2010 and a Visiting Professor at Sandia National Laboratories (2019- 2020) where he worked on projects related to the grid integration of renew able energy sources and energy storage systems.\n\nThe webinar will be mod erated by Dr. Ali Abedi\, Associate Vice President for Research\, Universi ty of Maine\, and followed by Q & A.\n\nPDH credit is available.\n\nCo-spo nsored by: UMaine Orono\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/35299 6 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/352996 ORGANIZER:uptonj@husson.edu SEQUENCE:5 SUMMARY:Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Modeling\, Control and O peration of Power Systems for Decarbonizing the Electric Grid URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/352996 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>IEEE Maine Joint Communications &a mp\; Computer Societies Chapter</strong> and <strong>UMaine AI</strong>&nb sp\;invite you to a live webinar</p>\n<p><span style="color: #236fa1\; fon t-size: 14pt\;"><strong>Applications of AI in Modeling\, Control and Opera tion of Power Systems for Decarbonizing the Electric Grid</strong>.</span> </p>\n<p>Please <a title="https://ai.umaine.edu/webinars/" href="https://a i.umaine.edu/webinars/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirectur l="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://maine.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ Cn4QUl18QIar68zT9PyPSw&amp\;source=gmail&amp\;ust=1675167043074000&amp\;us g=AOvVaw0j0tcaqaEvPZE2DagLP7ZW">register here</a>&nbsp\;(no registration f ee) and join us on <strong>Thursday\, Apr 6\, 12-1 pm</strong>\, for a pre sentation by <span style="color: #236fa1\; font-size: 14pt\;"><strong>Dr. Reinaldo Tonkoski</strong></span>.</p>\n<div class="page" title="Page 1">\ n<div class="section">\n<div class="layoutArea">\n<div class="column">\n<p >This presentation will explore the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the modeling\, control\, and operation of power systems to decarbonize th e electric grid.
