Join Genesis Alkali to learn more about career and internship opportunities for Chemical Engineer, Electrical Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, and Civil Environmental Engineer majors.
Join Michael Niehl, WSP, to learn about internships and jobs at WSP. Civil Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Electrical Engineers, and Construction Management majors are encouraged to attend.
This seminar examines why journalists often fail to take the necessary information security steps to better protect themselves, their sources, and their stories, despite ongoing threats to journalism. From mass surveillance and intrusive spyware technologies to hacking, political intimidation, and legal challenges, these threats coalesce to impact journalism and endanger public service news. This deteriorating information ecosystem contributes to the repression of journalists and their sources, chilling freedom of expression and the ability of journalists to carry out their roles in a democratic society.
Energy Systems Innovation Center presents Monitoring, Analysis and Mitigation of Oscillations in Power Systems by Evangelos Dr. Farantatos, Electrical Power Research Institute (EPRI)
This presentation will summarize recent EPRI’s work on the topic of oscillations mitigation and control.
In today’s interconnected world, the Web has become an indispensable part of our daily lives, with web browsers serving as the central hub of our digital existence. While the continuous enhancement of modern browser functionalities substantially improves the user experience, it also opens the door to new and potentially serious security and privacy threats. This talk aims to shed light on our recent efforts to identify vulnerabilities within emerging web features and conduct an analysis of the corresponding countermeasures.
Join Amazonian Sparrow Xu for an information session on cybersecurity at Amazon followed the next day with Amazon’s Capture the Flag (CTF) Competition on the WSU Pullman campus.
Advance Grid Institute (AGI) presents App Deconfliction: Orchestrating Distributed, Multi-Agent, Multi-Objective Operations for Power Systems by Dr. Andrew Reiman, PNNL
This presentation will discuss the deconfliction pipeline used to consistently set up and solve the deconfliction problem as well as heuristic-, application-engagement-, and optimization-based solutions to the deconfliction problem.
The increased integration of renewable Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs) such as wind, solar, and battery storage in the bulk power system leads to challenges for reliable operation of system protection. Traditionally, protective relays have been designed and set with the expectation of high fault currents and dynamic behavior dominated by synchronous generators. Short circuit analysis tools and models have also been developed over several decades around these assumptions. Nevertheless, these assumptions may no longer hold under IBRs, due to the different short circuit and dynamic characteristics of these resources.
Grab a snack and chat with the Dean of Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture, Mary Rezac.
The field of Information Technology and cybersecurity is vast. Students coming out of accredited institutions with degrees may sometimes get confused at the dizzying array of opportunities available to them and wonder how to get started in the field as a career. This seminar focuses on my personal journey through the field and reflects on several career paths graduates can take as they look to enter the field.
In this presentation, we will discuss some innovative methods to analyze and visualize protection system behavior in this changing operational environment. A technique to include the behavior of the grid in standard protection studies will be presented. While geared towards interconnected transmission systems, these methods are applicable for distribution systems as well and the presentation will include some examples of such studies. Compliance with regulatory requirements and documentation are a natural byproduct of these analyses.
