On December 9, 2023, the Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering (EEE) organized a webinar titled "Energy Management: Power Systems Engineering Perspective" which was supported by the AIUB Community of Engineering Students (ACES). The program started at 10:30 AM with 51 participants including senior students and few faculty members through Microsoft Teams. The purpose of the webinar was to learn from industry experts and seasoned professionals in the field of power systems engineering and energy management to achieve SDG goal 7: Affordable & Clean Energy.
The event was inaugurated by Mr. Nafiz Ahmed Chisty (Associate Professor, Department Head, Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering, AIUB) where he discussed planning and optimizing the use of energy resources to achieve sustainability. Following that, the keynote speaker, Md. Mizanur Rahman (P.Eng. MBA, PMP, Telecom Design Engineer, CIK Telecom Inc. Toronto, Ontario) was warmly introduced. Then the speaker began the session by providing a scenario of a unity distribution system by its demand response which allocates electricity consumption patterns, and grid operations, enhancing grid stability along with infrastructure upgrades. Also, he explained the potential capacity, and market structure including available programs and incentives with an estimated potential revenue. Furthermore, he reviewed Solar Generation Integration and Prioritize Self -Consumption which are maximizing the use of both batteries and solar panels in energy management. Then, a short Q&A session was held for the participants. Dr. Mohammad Abdul Mannan (Professor, Associate Dean, Faculty of Engineering, AIUB) concluded the webinar by thanking the speaker and presenting a virtual crest and certificate to the honorable speaker.
