Dr. S uryanarayanan is an electrical engineer focused on power system planning\, infrastructure strategy\, and emerging large-scale energy demand\, with p articular interest in how AI computing is reshaping grid expansion.\n\nThi s is a co-hosted meeting with the IEEE Denver PES/IAS\, IEEE Denver Dine & Learn and IEEE Young Professionals. Note that this event is at Denver Uni versity Engineering Building. Dinner will be provided. Event open to all I EEE members and non-members.\n\nSchedule\n\n6:15 – Check-in\, Chapter Bu siness and Networking\n\n6:30 – Dinner Served\n\n7:00 – Presentation\n \n8:00 – Adjourn\n\nTitle: From Queue to Energization - Rethinking Power Capacity Expansion in the AI Load Era\n\nSummary: Large AI data centers a re increasingly being planned at hundreds of megawatts of power. While com puting infrastructure can be deployed quickly\, expanding grid infrastruct ure often takes much longer. This talk examines the implications of that t iming gap and discusses what it may mean for power system planning as AI-d riven demand continues to grow.\n\nSpeaker(s): Suryanarayanan\, \n\nRoom: Conference Space on The Fifth-Floor Atrium\, Bldg: Engineering and Comput er Science \, 2155 E Wesley Ave\, University of Denver\, Denver\, Colorad o\, United States\, 80210\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/5519 41 LOCATION:Room: Conference Space on The Fifth-Floor Atrium\, Bldg: Engineeri ng and Computer Science \, 2155 E Wesley Ave\, University of Denver\, Den ver\, Colorado\, United States\, 80210\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ie ee.org/m/551941 ORGANIZER:jongrooters@gmail.com SEQUENCE:40 SUMMARY:Dine & Learn: Rethinking Power Capacity Expansion in the AI Load Er a URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/551941 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Our guest speaker this month is Dr. Sid Su ryanarayananan.
