DESCRIPTION:Monday\, April 8\, 2024\n\nIEEE Consultants’ Network of San D
 iego\n\nSan Diego IEEE Women in Engineering\n\nSan Diego IEEE Power Electr
 onics Society\n\nSan Diego IEEE Power &amp; Energy Society\n\nSan Diego IEEE I
 ndustry Applications Society\n\nIEEE Student Chapter at SDSU\n(generously 
 hosting the event)\n\nEnhancing Electricity Grid Resilience against\nExtre
 me Weather Conditions\n\nSaeed Manshadi\, PhD\n\nThis presentation address
 es the urgent need to enhance power grid resilience in the face of increas
 ing wildfire threats\, exacerbated by climate change and other factors. It
  explores innovative strategies and technologies for mitigating the impact
  of natural disasters on power systems\, ensuring the continuity of electr
 icity supply to customers and critical infrastructure. The presentation de
 lves into the challenges of modeling and incorporating risk in grid operat
 ions and proposes solutions through wildfire risk-aware planning and robus
 t optimization for long-term planning. It highlights the significance of d
 e-energizing power lines in high-risk conditions and the potential of Dist
 ributed Energy Resources (DERs) to meet demand growth while minimizing wil
 dfire risks.\n\nSpeaker(s): Saeed Manshadi\, \n\nAgenda: \nLocation:\n\nLa
 mden Hall – Room 343\n\nSan Diego State University\nWe recommend parking
  in Structure 1 From Interstate 8\, take College Avenue South and drive in
 to Parking Structure 1. You can purchase a 1-2 hour parking permit by phon
 e using the PayByPhone app ($3 per hour):\nhttps://parking.sdsu.edu/permit
