DESCRIPTION:The [IEEE Vancouver Section](https://vancouver.ieee.ca) and the
  IEEE Future Directions Committee are organizing a series of presentations
  to address the widespread interest in clean energy sources\, new nuclear 
 reactor technologies\, and the various related issues. This series of talk
 s will cover aspects of nuclear energy and the disruptive new technology o
 f Small Modular Reactors. These presentations will be of interest both to 
 engineers who are not nuclear specialists\, and to the general public who 
 are interested in learning about the technology.\n\nTOPIC:\nIntegration of
  SMRs in Renewable Energy Microgrids\n\nDATE:	July 30\, 2025\nLOCATION:	On
 line\nPRESENTER:	Dr. Dennis Michaelson\n\nDr. Dennis Michaelson will explo
 re the application of Small Modular Reacrors (SMRs) in remote community po
 wer systems and off-grid industrial facilities. In some of these applicati
 ons\, a small SMR or micro-modular reactor would be combined with renewabl
 e power sources\, energy storage\, and loads to form a microgrid. In this 
 talk we will explore potential configurations and operating scenarios for 
 such systems\, and discuss the considerations and trade-offs involved in t
 heir design.\n\nThis presentation is free. IEEE members and the general pu
 blic are welcome to attend. Registration is required.\n\nThis presentation
  series is organized by:\n\n- [IEEE Future Directions Committee\, IEEE Sus
 tech Initiative](https://ieee-sustech.org/2023/ieees-sustech-initiative/)\
