						are on our
						committee. A separate webpage can be accessed for the
						affinity group via the upper left menu of this webpage
						or use this link: Women in Engineering.
						There was a t-shirt design competition hosted by AWIS (Association for Women in Sciences) for women in STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Maths) that was
						held recently (see our WIE webpage for details) and we are excited to announce that our group leader, Kanwal has been declared the
						winner with her design. Congratulations to Kanwal!
						Go to the WIE webpage (Women in Engineering) for all the details and
						see the
						winning design.
Student Branches
We have two Student Branches in our region and we encourage and support students to join these Branches from both Massey University and Victoria University of Wellington. A highlight of the year is a joint presentation day featuring the research students at both universities describing their current research and networking with each other in a friendly and social atmosphere. Postgraduate and Undergraduate students are most welcome to participate in the events. To find out more, please follow this link to the Student Branch pages.
- Massey University Student Branch
- Victoria University of Wellington Student Branch
The Post Graduate Presentation Day will be hosted in 2021 by Massey University if we are at Level 1, or VUW in a large room if we are at level 2 on 26 November with details being arranged by committee members Abhipray and Yuan.

ENZ EEG Presentation – Overview of Embedded Networks
                                Join the Electrical Engineering Group for a presentation by Nick Price (Managing Director) and Mike Peters (Senior Commercial Manager) of Tenco. They’ll provide an overview of private utility networks. 
                                Tenco arranges and manages these networks for commercial property owners – including Kiwi Property, Stride, Precinct and Westfield. Private utility networks are also increasingly common across residential developments, retirement villages and airports. 
                                Nick and Mike will discuss the two primary private utility network structures – also referred to as embedded networks and customer networks. 
                                – What types of properties are suitable for private utility networks? 
                                – Who captures the value from the network? 
                                – What are the benefits and drawbacks? 
                                – How are solar systems and electrical vehicle charging infrastructure integrated into private utility networks? 
                                – What are the typical electrical configurations? 
                                
                                Nick and Mike will also walk you through a recent case study and be available following the presentation to answer your questions.

| Abstract: New Zealand’s transition to a sustainable energy future requires a significant reliance on renewable electricity to decarbonise the energy sector. Transpower’s Whakamana i Te Mauri Hiko sets out the opportunities and challenges in enabling this transition, including its impact on our electricity infrastructure, to provide cost effective, resilient and reliable outcomes. Transpower is working across the energy sector to enable and deliver the transition, including the connection of renewable generation and electrification of process heat and transport needs. A key part of this is the development of the New Zealand transmission grid backbone under Transpower’s Net Zero Grid Pathways Programme to ensure we can meet our climate change goals. |  | 
In his interactive session, John will highlight the opportunities in enabling the transition to a sustainable energy future and the challenges being addressed by Transpower.
| Introducing Our Speaker John Clarke FEngNZ, MIEEE, is the General Manager Grid Development at Transpower, the owner and operator of New Zealand national electricity grid. He has recently held the role of GM Operations and has previously held the role of GM Grid Development when Transpower invested in significant grid upgrades from 2008-2013. In his 20 plus years at Transpower John has overseen the evolution of Transpower’s system planning, asset management, innovation activities as well as the operation of the New Zealand electricity market and power system. His earlier career in the New Zealand electricity sector has included roles in electricity distribution and electrical engineering consulting. |  | 
A Joint Institution Event - Considerations when specifying distribution transformers in the future
|  |  |  | 
You are invited to join The Electrical Engineering Group, which includes Engineering New Zealand, the Institute
							of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and the Institution of Engineering & Technology (IET), for a
							presentation by ETEL’s Innovation Manager Dr Dan Martin on what to consider when specifying distribution transformers for the future.
							The details are:
							Date: 15 Sep 2021, 
							Time: 5.30PM – 6.30PM
							Location: Online -Due to COVID restrictions
							Duration: 1 hr
							Cost: Free event 
							
							Synopsis::
							Transformers are at the hearts of our networks, and typically last for many decades. Consequently, it pays to be forward thinking now when planning their use.
							So, what do we see happening in the 2020s?
							
- Reductions in network downtime as IoT provides more monitoring options on both the transformer and across the network.
- Reductions in operating risk brought about by new materials and transformer manufacturing processes.
- Community uptakes of electric transport and rooftop PV resulting in two way power flow, and smart transformer technology being necessary to manage this new dynamic grid.
Following the presentation Dan will be available to take your questions.
Due to potential Covid restrictions this will be an online presentation only.
Brief Report:
At least 36 people indicated that they were members of IET and/or IEEE and attended the event. Overall, it was a very successful event as there were a total of 231 people who registered to hear this interesting talk by the speaker which was conducted virtually due to Covid restrictions.

Prof Biplab Sikdar gave an excellent virtual distinguished lecture (VDL) “Cyber Security and Privacy for Smart Cities” on Thursday 17 June 202. The talk went very well. We started at 3.45pm and finished at around 5.30 pm. We really enjoyed the lecture and learned more about Security and Privacy issues in the design and implementation of Smart Cities. We thank Prof Sikdar for his time to prepare this talk. Thanks go to participants for their support and to make the event a grant success. We also thank IEEE ComSoc for financial, and logistic support. Despite of the busy time of the year, about 96 participants attended the event. We had Q/A after the lecture. However, I received positive feedback from the audience indicating that the VDL event was successful.
Region 10 - TENCON 2021 - 15th August
The 36th edition of our IEEE Region 10, flagship conference TENCON is being arranged to be held through both physical and virtual online formats.
						The local organizing committee have decided to plan for the physical version to be held as per the originally advertised dates of 7-10 December 2021.
						The formal host section for TENCON 2021 is IEEE New Zealand North Section with conference organizing committee members representing all the three
						sections and Council in New Zealand.
This brand of conference is being held for the very first time in New Zealand and the experience of the organizing committee and NZ North Section
						volunteers of having hosted several flagship Chapter conferences and Region 10 events in the past, places us well to attempt to deliver this event
						in a blended format i.e. both physical and virtual.
						The event is scheduled to be held at AUT in Auckland.
						
The paper submission deadline is 15 August 2021. Please see the
						available poster for detailed information.
