On the 30th of October in the Department of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering, Professor Ganesh Kumar Venayagamoorthy, a visiting professor from Clemson University, USA and the Vice-President for Industry Relations of the International Neural Network Society (INNS), delivered the University of Pretoria Smart Grid seminar on “Emerging Trends in Power Systems”. A group of researchers and students gathered to hear Professor Venayagamoorthy, an IEEE Fellow and Editor of the Wiley-IEEE Press Series on Power and Energy Systems, speak about the challenges faced by the power industry and the need to embrace smart grid and other emerging technologies such as scalable and sustainable artificial intelligence for the future electric power system. The Smart Grid Programme is being worked on by the Department of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering as well as Enterprises University of Pretoria. https://lnkd.in/eYt4KwBb https://lnkd.in/eDuFMwt2 Faculty of Engineering, Built Environment & IT #UP #engineering #electricalengineering #computerengineering #electronicengineering #eece #innovation #research #postgraduatestudies  #smartgrid #seminar #clemsonuniversity #INNS #IEEE #wileyIEEE #enterprisesup

Hurricane Helen - Day 13 AJ Burke joined us this afternoon. He lives here in Asheville and is chair of the local IEEE section. Aj's home was not damaged in the hurricane. He is an active IEEE member and long time MOVE volunteer. Glad he could find time to visit with us. We did a walk through with the Red Cross DST lead and have a plan for network transition. After we get the Red Cross networks running, MOVE-1 will be available to leave. Current plan is to return to Raleigh for some required maintenance on the generator. After that, we are available to redeploy. MOVE-2 is in the middle of a crew changes. Bill Guzek arrived today to replace Mark Torres. Jay Diepenbrock is here and filling Bill Wooton's position. They will continue to service Red Cross requests here in western NC. MOVE-3 is secure in Orlando as hurricane Milton passes by. They are at a Red Cross center that will provide initial evaluation of the needs that will be required. They have equipment to provide internet to the Red Cross even if local communications is not available. We will be anxious to get the early morning update. How You Can Help: Donate: Every contribution makes a difference! A suggested donation of $40 can go a long way in supporting MOVE’s disaster response efforts. Link: https://lnkd.in/eCsZja64 Your generosity and support are vital to ensuring we can continue to respond effectively. Thank you to our volunteers for your dedication! Stay safe, everyone! #ieeehtb #ieeeusamove #IEEEFoundation #IEEE #ieeeusa #disasterrelief

Hurricane Helene has caused heartbreaking devastation. Thousands have lost their homes, belongings, and sense of safety. Entire communities have been submerged, roads destroyed, and families displaced. To support local law enforcement, the American Red Cross and recovery crews, IEEE MOVE USA deployed 2 vehicles to Asheville, NC, with MOVE-3 en route to Florida. These areas and many more have been without power and communication for days, facing many challenges ahead. In times like these, every bit of support counts. MOVE USA is funded by donations.

Dr. Nishith Tripathi and I are thrilled to announce the release of the first comprehensive book on O-RAN, titled "Fundamentals of O-RAN," published by Wiley and IEEE Press. This essential guide explore complete landscape of O-RAN, covering topics such as, history and evolution of O-RAN, architectural framework, control loops and microservices, security considerations, O-RAN ecosystem, key R&D initiatives, and challenges and journey towards 6G. I would like to take a moment to acknowledge the invaluable contributions of all my students (particularly, Abiodun Ganiyu and Nathan Stephenson), postdocs, and colleagues at NextG Lab, VT and beyond. Your O-RAN research and expertise have been instrumental in bringing this book to life. I also want to thank NSF Open AI Cellular (OAIC) and NTIA PWSCIF for their generous funding, which has been crucial to our O-RAN R&D efforts. Whether you’re a wireless researcher, a professional engineer, or simply curious about the future of mobile networks, this book offers valuable insights and practical knowledge.
