PES Day Kenya webinar series
IEEE PES Day 2021
PES Day
On April 22, 2008, the Power Engineering Society changed its name to the Power & Energy Society to focus on helping the environment and the society. This day has been officially commemorated as “PES Day” for the past three years. All activities conducted in the month of April are counted towards PES Day celebration.
PES Day 2021 Theme
Climate Change is perhaps one of the largest problem’s humanity has faced. Our world is changing faster than ever. Being the society that governs the engineering aspect of energy production that has resulted in greenhouse gasses and global warming, we must educate everyone on the solutions and technological developments that are happening to slow down this issue.
The theme of the 4th IEEE PES DAY is “Clean Energy Revolution”.
Considering the advisory given by IEEE and WHO, keeping in mind the health of the people, PES Day 2021 is going to be a strictly virtual event.
With this theme in mind, let’s organize virtual events by connecting with a global network of IEEE Members, PES Volunteers, PES Young Professionals to improve PES Day Technical, Humanitarian, Women in Power, and Young Professional Activities.
We would like to Encourage our IEEE Members across the Globe to help bring “More Power To the Future with Clean Energy Revolution.”

Edson Bortoni
Renewable power generation and storage systems
Electricity generation is the leading cause of industrial pollution. Renewable energy sources can be used to produce electricity with fewer environmental impacts. To reduce the global carbon print the world must adopt renewable energy sources. However energy sources like wind and solar energy vary. So at times when they provide little power they need to be supplemented with other forms to meet energy demand. This stored energy can be used at latter time when demand for electricity increases or energy resourse availability decreases.
Biography:
Edson da Costa Bortoni (S’94–M’96–SM’05) was born in Maringá, Brazil, on December 1, 1966. He received the electrical engineering degree from the Federal University of Itajubá (UNIFEI), Itajubá, Brazil, in 1990, the M.Sc. degree in energy systems planning from the University of Campinas, Campinas, Brazil, in 1993, the D.Sc. degree in power systems from the Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo (USP), São Paulo, Brazil, in 1998, and the Habilitation from USP, São Carlos, Brazil, in 2012.,He was a Professor with São Paulo State University, Guaratinguetá, Brazil, and a Visiting Scholar with Amazon University, Manaus, Brazil, with the Montanuniversität Leoben, Austria, with the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland, and with Politecnico di Torino, Italy. He is a Professor with UNIFEI, an Associate Editor (AE) and Subject Editor (SE) for IET Generation, Transmission and Distribution, and an AE for the Flow Measurement and Instrumentation Journal. His research interests include electrical machines design and modeling, sensors, power generation, smart grids, and energy systems development.,Dr. Bortoni is a Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE, the Chair of the WG-4 (IEEE STD. C50.12), a member of the WG-7 (IEEE STD. 115), WG-8 (IEEE STD. C50.13), WG-10 (IEEE STD. 1110), and EMC Grid Code Task Force. He is the Head of the Energy Efficiency Excellence Center, a Fellow of International Hydropower Association, and a Fellow of the International Society of Automation.(Based on document published on 26 June 2019)

Grid reliability and its vital signs
requency, voltage, customer interruption. What do these vital signs tell us about the bulk power system? Learn the grid health underlying the vital signs and how to accurately assess them. This lecture will explore reliability aspects of bulk power system so that you will develop a systematic, integrated understanding of how to assess the bulk power system reliability. Additional indicators include energy emergency alerts, transmission outage rates, protection system operations, and resource reserve margin. The presentation will also provide ranges, trends, and driving factors that influence changes in these indicators.
Biography:
Dr. Jessica Bian is a visionary leader and architect. She has spearheaded electric industry's reliability metrics and grid risk assessment. Currently she is the Vice President of Grid Services at Grid-X Partners. Before that, she was with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), Washington, DC. Previously, she was the Director of Performance Analysis at North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) in Atlanta, Georgia. Under her leadership, a total of 18 industry-wide reliability indicators were established to determine grid reliability, adequacy, and associated risks. She is widely recognized as a pioneer and trusted world leader in the field.
Before joining NERC, Dr. Bian was with PJM, ERCOT and Westinghouse Electric. She earned her Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Tulane University and published over 70 articles. She volunteers at the IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES); was the Society Secretary from 2016 to 2019. She is the PES President-Elect for 2020-2021.
