This Award consists of a customized plaque and three years complimentary membership in the IEEE.

Edward A. Cherney receives the Masoud Farzaneh Award

At a special ceremony at the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (UQAC), March 15, 2012, the Masoud Farzaneh Award was attributed to Dr. Edward A. Cherney consultant and Adjunct Professor at the University of Waterloo for his remarkable contribution to outdoor insulation and education.

The Masoud Farzaneh Award was established in 2010 by Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (UQAC) in honour of Professor Masoud Farzaneh, an internationally renowned researcher in the field of power transmission and distribution in cold climate regions, whose contribution and impact made UQAC a world leader in this domain. It is granted to an individual for outstanding contributions related to the fields of power transmission and distribution, and high voltage engineering.

Edward A. Cherney received the B.Sc. degree in honours physics from the University of Waterloo in 1967; the M.Sc. degree in physics from McMaster University in 1969; and in 1974, the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Waterloo. Since 1968, he has been involved in research and development in both industry and in academia. While at the Ontario Hydro Research Division (now known as Kinectrics) in Toronto, he introduced the concept of alternating diameter suspension insulators to combat icing outages of transmission lines in the Province of Ontario.

Dr. Cherney is a Life Fellow of the IEEE Power and Energy Society, a member and Whitehead lecturer of the IEEE Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation Society, a Registered Engineer in the Province of Ontario, the Co-Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, and the Industry Liaison at the University of Waterloo High Voltage Laboratory.

2012 IEEE International Conference on Smart Grid

Date: August 27-29, 2012
Location: OUIT, Oshawa, ON

The Smart Grids are electricity networks that promise to enhance the operational efficiency of nationwide power supply via distributed generation with bi-directional electricity flow. This objective is achieved by allowing intelligent monitoring and control of different components within the distribution and transmission lines as well as other systems from utilities on one side to the end user on the other side, while maintain the power quality, security, reliability and safety with minimum environmental impacts. Governments around the world are investing heavily in this technology to ensure optimum energy use and supply, enable better planning for outage responses and recovery, and facilitate the integration of heterogeneous technologies around the grid, such as renewable energy systems, electrical vehicle networks, and smart homes. Smart Grids present enormous engineering challenges in the design and integration of electrical grid with communication and network technologies, along with substantial questions around required security and privacy of different components within the grid. The SGE'12 conference aims to provide an opportunity to discuss various engineering challenges of smart grid design and operation, by focusing on advanced methods and practices for designing different components and their integration within the grid, and to provide a forum for researchers from academia and professionals from industry, as well as government regulators, to tackle these challenges and to discuss and exchange knowledge and best practices about design and implementation of Smart Grid.
