IEEE MOVE Global is an emergency response program dedicated to assisting natural disaster relief efforts with short-term communication and power solutions. The program provides essential services such as internet access, mobile phone charging, and lighting to help people stay connected during disasters. When not deployed for emergency relief, IEEE MOVE Global engages in community outreach and STEM education. The IEEE MOVE India program, initiated by the IEEE India Council Region 10 in collaboration with state disaster agencies and NGOs, focuses on disaster response efforts in India. This talk will highlight MOVE India's activities, including disaster awareness and STEM workshops conducted across the country. These workshops emphasize disaster preparedness, climate change, and sustainability, aiming to educate and empower students to create a safer, more resilient future. The session will also showcase the launch of STEM kits designed to educate students about climate change and sustainability. Additionally, the talk will provide a preview of the MOVE India Truck, set to launch in 2025. This mobile vehicle, equipped with communication and power equipment, will play a key role in supporting disaster relief operations in India.

IEEE PI2 Austin, April 22, 2024, Tech Meeting In-Person 6 PM Central / 7 PM Eastern at Balcones Country Club: 8600 Balcones Dr. Austin, TX 78750 Abstract: This talk will explore the technical information that influences generation portfolio decisions in a power company. While much of the Resource Planning process is a political/management decision that is not technology driven, there is a lot of modeling and analysis that goes into shaping the outcomes. After attending, the audience will understand the types of technical information that are relevant in the deliberations and how this process has shifted from a fairly simple, straightforward decision to one with many layers and nuances Details: Dinner and soft beverages will be provided for those with reservations.
