Upcoming Talk: Understanding HVDC: How Long-Distance Power Transmission Works – June 26

Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/487850

The IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) Providence Chapter invites you to our upcoming technical meeting. This session will explore High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) technology—a powerful tool used to send electricity over long distances. Unlike the electricity we use in our homes (which is alternating current, or AC), HVDC is a special type of... Read more

MINIONs: Concept to Reality and Beyond

Room: 2nd floor, next to Pell Library, Bldg: Ocean Sciences and Education Building, 218 South Ferry Road, Narragansett, Rhode Island, United States, 02882

Jackson Sugar will provide a description of the low-cost distributed network of subsurface Lagrange floats known as MINIONs. MINION (MINiature IsOpycNal) floats are small, inexpensive devices weighted to be neutrally buoyant at a pre-selected depth in the ocean twilight zone. These devices will carry camera and lighting systems and will photograph particles of carbon-rich detritus... Read more
