The IEEE PES/IAS Joint Chapter will organize a technical visit to the Black Hills Energy Control Center to provide participants with a practical understanding of how modern electric power systems are monitored, operated, and coordinated in real time. During the visit, Black Hills Energy personnel will introduce the functions of a utility control center, including system monitoring, generation and load balancing, transmission operations, reliability coordination, and responses to changing grid conditions. Participants will also learn how electricity is scheduled and traded through wholesale electricity markets and how market operations interact with physical power-system constraints. The visit will give students and faculty an opportunity to connect power-system concepts learned in the classroom and research laboratory with real-world utility operations. The event will also provide insight into careers and professional responsibilities in power-system operation, energy management, and electricity markets. Rapid City, South Dakota, United States

RF electronics and antennas are becoming increasingly integrated, especially at mmWave frequencies, where conducted testing is often impossible or impractical. More and more tests therefore have to be performed over the air, which can’t all be met by anechoic chambers due to issues with speed and accuracy. In this talk, Anouk Hubrechsen (CEO Antennex) will introduce an alternative method for wireless testing based on reverberation chambers for both development and production. She will describe the basic operation of these chambers, including the techniques behind the more advanced methods that enable measurements such as noise figure, antenna efficiency, EVM + non-linear distortion, and others. The talk also links the technology to entrepreneurship and standardization efforts. Speaker(s): Anouk Hubrechsen , Agenda: 5:30 PM - 6:00 PM : Free Dinner and Introductions. Pizza and beverages will be offered as refreshments. 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM : Talk 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM : Q & A as well as networking Room: 312, Bldg: Engineering Center North Tower (ECNT), Engineering Center, North Tower, Colorado Ave, Boulder, Colorado, United States, 80301

Nanophotonics enables unprecedented control over the propagation, absorption, and emission of light at the nanoscale. In particular, surface plasmons—collective oscillations of electrons at metal surfaces—provide a powerful mechanism for concentrating light into extremely small regions and producing strong local electromagnetic-field enhancement. These properties are creating new opportunities for sensing, imaging, energy conversion, and biomedical technologies. One emerging frontier in plasmonics is the enhancement of nonlinear optical processes, including luminescence upconversion. In upconversion, lower-energy photons are absorbed and converted into higher-energy emitted light. Unlike conventional nonlinear frequency-conversion processes, luminescence upconversion can operate efficiently under low-intensity, incoherent illumination. This characteristic makes it especially attractive for applications such as bioimaging, biosensing, and solar-energy conversion, where traditional nonlinear optical techniques may be difficult to employ. This talk will begin with an introduction to surface plasmons, nanophotonics, and frequency-upconversion processes. Dr. Park will then describe the electrodynamic principles governing luminescence upconversion in nanophotonic environments and present spectroscopic studies of photonically enhanced upconversion. These studies help identify the mechanisms and factors responsible for enhancement throughout the various stages of the upconversion process.
