The sources of EMP are referenced and presented with environment and test standards with their evolution and use for deve lopment of protection and mitigation utilities. Established resilience def initions and processes are presented and their guiding principles towards building resilience to critical infrastructure. 5R Resilience is presented based on Robustness\, Redundancy\, Resourcefulness\, Response\, and Recov ery strategic principles. The design of EMP mitigation technology and devi ces is discussed for AC and DC power and communication networks.\n\nPlease email RoyBrown@southernco.com after attending the event if you want a PDH certificate.\n\nContact Roy lee brown if you cannot log in: 205-842-6761 or email for help.\n\nI will email you a Link that works for me.\n\nWe loo k forward to you joining us and sharing this exciting program.\n\nCo-spons ored by: Dr. Plamen Doynov Phd \n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Plamen Doynov\, \n\nAge nda: \n4:00 PM Presentation\n\n5:00 PM - Adjourn\n\nVirtual: https://event s.vtools.ieee.org/m/434696 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/434696 ORGANIZER:Chair-ALSect@ieee.org SEQUENCE:72 SUMMARY:Building Resilience of the Electrical Grid to EMP and GMD URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/434696 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>The IEEE Alabama Section eagerly anticipat es an illuminating presentation by <span style="color: #ff0000\;"><strong> Dr. Plamen Doynov</strong></span>\, <span style="font-size: 11.0pt\; font- family: 'Aptos'\,sans-serif\; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos\; mso-fareast -theme-font: minor-latin\; mso-bidi-font-family: Aptos\; mso-ligatures: st andardcontextual\; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\; mso-fareast-language: EN-US\ ; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA\;">CTO</span>\, EMP Shield\, Inc. on "Building Resilience of the Electrical Grid to EMP and GMD".&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>It is es sential to build resilience of the electrical power grid and all interdepe ndent critical infrastructure segments to large scale natural events\, suc h as coronal mass ejection (CME) and geomagnetic disturbance (GMD) and tec hnology generated electro-magnetic interference (EMI)\, such as high altit ude nuclear electromagnetic pulse (HEMP).
