Claudio Cañizares to give an online Distinguished Lecture Programme T alk on "The Energy Transition in Canada and the Role of the IEEE and PES i n the World’s Decarbonization" from 15:00-16:00 BST on 5th June.\n\nThis talk will provide an overview of Canadian provincial and remote community power grids\, and a detailed discussion of Ontario’s provincial grid\, market\, and future expansion plans\, in the context of zero-emission powe r systems as the backbone of the energy transition. A critical overview of the decarbonization status and policies for energy systems in Canada will be also presented\, focusing on zero-emission power grid\, EV\, and Hydro gen plans and strategies to enable a Net-Zero 2050. Furthermore\, the role that the IEEE and\, especially\, PES can play and is already playing in d ecarbonization efforts across the globe will be discussed\, providing an o verview of relevant initiatives led by the Institute and Society on this t opic. Finally\, concluding remarks will include a personal plea for a comm itment to eliminating emissions in our daily energy use and to getting inv olved in relevant IEEE and PES decarbonization programs and initiatives.\n \nBio:\n\nDr. Claudio Cañizares is a University Professor and the Hydro O ne Endowed Chair at the Electrical and Computer Engineering (E&CE) Departm ent\, and the Executive Director of the Waterloo Institute for Sustainable Energy (WISE) at the University of Waterloo\, where he has held various a cademic and administrative positions since 1993 and has received multiple recognitions\, in particular the 2021-2022 Awards of Excellence in Graduat e Supervision from both the University and the Faculty of Engineering. He obtained the Electrical Engineer degree from the Escuela Politécnica Naci onal (EPN) in Quito-Ecuador in 1984\, where he held different academic and administrative positions between 1983 and 1993\, and his MSc (1988) and P hD (1991) degrees in Electrical Engineering are from the University of Wis consin-Madison. His research activities focus on the study of stability\, control\, optimization\, modeling\, simulation\, and computational issues in bulk power systems\, microgrids\, and energy systems in the context of net-zero\, competitive energy markets\, smart grids\, and energy access. I n these areas\, he has led or been an integral part of multiple grants and contracts from government agencies and private companies worth over $92 m illion dollars\, and has collaborated with various industry and university partners in Canada and abroad\, supervising/co-supervising close to 190 r esearch fellows and graduate students. He has authored/co-authored over 38 0 publications with more than 34\,000 citations at an 82 H-index\, includi ng journal and conference papers\, technical reports\, book chapters\, dis closures\, and patents\, and has been invited to deliver keynote speeches\ , seminars\, tutorials\, and presentations at many prestigious venues worl dwide. He was the 2020-2024 Editor-In-Chief of the Institute of Electrical & Electronic Engineering (IEEE) Transactions on Smart Grid\; the 2022-202 3 IEEE Division VII Director of the IEEE and Power & Energy Society (PES) Boards\; and a Fellow of the IEEE\, a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of En gineering\, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada\, where he was the Dir ector of the Applied Science and Engineering Division of the Academy of Sc ience from 2017 to 2020\, and a Foreign Fellow of the Chinese Society for Electrical Engineering. He is also the recipient of the 2017 IEEE PES Outs tanding Power Engineering Educator Award\, the 2016 IEEE Canada Electric P ower Medal\, and of multiple IEEE PES awards and recognitions\, holding le adership positions in several IEEE and PES Committees\, Working Groups\, a nd Task Forces.\n\nThis event is organised by IEEE PES UK&I Chapter and co -organised by all student branch PES chapters locally. The online link wil l be sent to registrants before the event.\n\nLooking forward to seeing yo u there!\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/486076 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/486076 ORGANIZER:n.chen@bham.ac.uk SEQUENCE:15 SUMMARY:IEEE PES DLP Lecture: The Energy Transition in Canada and the Role of the IEEE and PES in the World's Decarbonization URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/486076 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><img style="display: block\; margin-left: auto\; margin-right: auto\;" src="https://events.vtools.ieee.org/vtools_ui /media/display/35deeb36-1a6f-41c5-9b45-018d15f700dc" width="711" height="3 60"></p>\n<p style="text-align: justify\;">We are delighted to invite the& nbsp\;<a id="OWA9428fa39-fd80-06e3-a693-c57166bb1ccc" class="x_OWAAutoLink " title="https://ieee-pes.org/news/2025-election-ieee-pes-officers/" href= "https://ieee-pes.org/news/2025-election-ieee-pes-officers/" data-auth="No tApplicable" data-linkindex="0" data-ogsc="">IEEE PES President-Elect 2025 </a> candidate\, Prof. Claudio Ca&ntilde\;izares to give an online Disting uished Lecture Programme Talk on "The Energy Transition in Canada and the Role of the IEEE and PES in the World&rsquo\;s Decarbonization" from 15:00 -16:00 BST on 5th June.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p style="text-align: justify\;">This talk will provide an overview of Canadian provincial and remote community power grids\, and a detailed discussion of Ontario&rsquo\;s provincial gri d\, market\, and future expansion plans\, in the context of zero-emission power systems as the backbone of the energy transition.
