ESIC FA24 Seminar Series: IEEE Guide for Distribution Grid Resilience Metric by Dr. Shikhar Pandey, ComEd
WSU Pullman - Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Building

This talk will introduce a comprehensive resiliency metric framework, designed to evaluate the grid’s performance in adverse weather conditions. The metrics fall under two categories: System Performance, which assesses the grid’s ability to endure extreme events, and Operational Performance, measuring its recovery capacity. Through this framework, we can better understand, measure, and enhance the resilience of our electric distribution grid.

ESIC-AGI FA24 Power Seminar Series: The Phasor Measurement Unit explained by Dr. Harold Kirkham
WSU Pullman - Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Building

Nothing is known about the state of the power system except as the result of a measurement. It follows that measurements – especially ones that can claim to be scientific – are important. According to measurement theory, a scientific measurement is one based on a mathematical model that represents the way we think the universe works. The PMU should be in that category, and would be the first truly scientific measurement made in the power system. The talk will explore enough measurement theory – including a refresher on the fundamentals of the sinusoid and the phasor – to show that the PMU is a simple – and even elegant – measurement. However, the simplicity of the PMU has been obscured by a series of documentary standards written since 2005. The talk will also invite students to identify some of the lack of clarity in the thinking behind the documentary standards.

Artificial Intelligence and Elementary Science Teaching and Learning
WSU Pullman - Online

Please join us for a COE Research Conversation on Thursday, October 17th from 12:10 to 1:00 pm with Dr. Tingting Li. These engaging discussions feature research by COE faculty from a variety of departments.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the ways that science is taught and learned. Dr. Li will share insights from her research on AI-enhanced elementary science teaching and learning, drawing from several recent projects.

Tingting Li is an Assistant Professor of Science Education at the WSU College of Education. She received her PhD from Michigan State University in Educational Psychology and Educational Technology and a second PhD in Curriculum and Instruction from Northeast Normal University. Her research explores the underlying complex learning process of building usable knowledge and how student engagement interacts with this process by leveraging state-of-the-art technologies such as AI. She designs learning environments and assessments that support students’ usable knowledge building as well as their psychological well-being (e.g., engagement, social and emotional learning).
