Smart Operation of Battery Energy Storage Systems in the Evolving Power System

Presented by IISE Energy Systems Division
Speaker: Dr. Hamid Nazaripouya
Friday, April 25, 2-3 PM ET/1-2 PM CT

As power systems evolve, the role of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) becomes increasingly critical in enhancing grid operation, resilience, and efficiency. This webinar will discuss an advanced methodology that integrates adaptive control techniques, machine learning, discrete signal processing, optimization strategies, and power system dynamics to enable the intelligent operation of BESS.

Engineering People and Team Performance Excellence: Continued Perspectives and Points of View

Presented by IISE and CISE
Speaker: Scott Sink and Alan Grant
Thursday, May 1, 11 a.m.-noon ET

Explore how ISE’s can contribute to the Engineering of Management Systems that bring out the best in people and teams. This webinar will include an update on how AI can support ‘coaching’ as people and teams continue to work to achieve full potential performance and Social Fitness.

Personalized and Federated Data Analytics Beyond Predictive Modeling

Presented by IISE Data Analytics and Information Systems and Quality Control and Reliability Engineering Divisions
Speaker: Dr. Raed Al Kontar
Friday, May 2, 1:30 p.m. ET

The rapid advancement of edge computing and powerful AI chips has sparked strong interest in collaborative analytics, such as federated learning, which distributes model training across diverse users. To date, efforts have focused on predictive modeling. In this talk, I argue that predictive modeling, without understanding the nature of heterogeneity across users, can lead to swift and evident failures. I then present: i) a descriptive framework for extracting interpretable and identifiable features that capture what is shared and unique across datasets, and ii) a personalized prescriptive framework for collaborative decision-making, where dispersed users coordinate trial and error efforts to accelerate and enhance the optimal design process.

Microsoft Power Platform: The What, Why, and How to Revolutionize your Workday

Presented by Society for Health Systems (SHS)
Speaker: Christopher Mensah
Wednesday, May 14, 4 p.m. - 5 p.m. ET

Are you looking to automate tasks, build custom business intelligence reports, and/or develop apps that solve business problems? Are you interested in learning about new software tools to help you grow in your career? Join SHS member Christopher Mensah as he introduces three key components of Microsoft Power Platform: Power Automate, Power Apps, and Power BI. He’ll explain Power Platform’s capabilities, share practical examples of applying these tools, and show you how to get started on your own Power Platform journey.

The New Industrial and Systems Engineering: Operational Analytics is our New Performance Measurement Offer Element

Presented by IISE and CISE
Speaker: Scott Sink
Thursday, May 15, 11 a.m.-noon ET

Performance Measurement was the foundation upon which Industrial Engineering emerged and evolved. How long should things take? How is a process performing? What are the right standards for work? Work Measurement. That type of measurement focus has evolved into a much broader domain for ISE’s. Process Capability, system capability, white collar productivity, Balanced Scorecards, Power BI, Visible Measurement Systems. The importance of Performance Measurement to the ISE contribution cannot be understated. And yet, interestingly, this is not taught in most of our ISE Departments. So IISE is picking up the baton and carrying it forward as a way of contributing to our members professional development
