Why Instrumentation & Measurement is Critical in Underground Construction and What Challenges it Faces
Speaker: 
Dr. Michael Gard, Charles Machine Works, Perry, Oklahoma, USA
Date: Thursday, September 15, 2011
Time: Registration, Refreshments and Networking: 06:30 p.m.; Seminar: 07:00 p.m. – 08:15 p.m.
Location: Algonquin College, Room B156, B-Building, 1385 Woodroffe Ave., Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Parking: No fee after 5 p.m. at the Parking Lots 8 & 9. Please respect restricted areas.

Admission: Free. Registration required. To ensure a seat, please register by e-mail contacting: Branislav Djokic.

Abstract:
This Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is a construction technique used to emplace utilities without trenching or digging. Although borehole creation is a mechanical process, surprisingly complex electronics and software are needed to locate, detect and avoid existing utilities; plan the borepath; determine depth; steer the drill string; and control the machine. The primary tools for routine field operations rely on magnetic field measurements and are significantly constrained by power limitations, physical demands of the construction environment, and a difficult, highly variable, and unpredictable medium (soil, sand, gravel, and rock). This presentation introduces the basic physics, technology, and
techniques employed in obstacle location and borepath tracking; reviews recent experimental research involving data telemetry and unconventional applications of the industry’s magnetic field technology; reviews the current state of ground penetrating radar (GPR) in HDD applications; and touches on some difficult and unanswered problems still awaiting solutions.

Abstract:
This talk introduces a theoretical and experimental program to develop the inspection and fault detection technology needed to integrate MAVs for persistent intelligence, reconnaissance, maintenance and surveillance for obscured or logistically challenging assets in non-urban environments. The design is explained using a context of heterogeneous deployment of wireless sensors for real-time asset monitoring by anticipating exceptional conditions and building the system to cope with them. The system converges towards an error-free state with self-stabilization, the ability to fall back to a safe mode in a financially feasible manner. This sophisticated mechanism requires a real-time capacity estimation capability to sustain the quality-of-service, which can be achieved by a distributed sensor network. We discuss issues in design and information propagation in such sensor clustered topology, optimization for power-aware networking, and link and node capacity assignment to achieve the desired goals.

Abstract:
An illustrated account of the consequences of the major Richter scale 9 earthquake and ensuing huge tsunami of 11 March 2011 on the nuclear power units at the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant in Japan. This presentation will focus primarily on the most significant events at the plants that led to fuel failures and release of radioactive substances. The extent and nature of those releases will be noted. The action of the Japanese government and the reaction of the international community will be mentioned. A very brief introduction to nuclear power will be offered for those who have not taken “Nuclear 101” and, in conclusion, the action of the Canadian regulator including some comparisons of the design of the Fukushima reactors and CANDU.

Abstract:
Electric power grids around the world are rapidly evolving to make more extensive use of communication technology. New intelligent electronic devices are being developed and deployed in which communications is becoming a ubiquitous and natural part of power systems allowing new forms of collaborative behavior. An analogy is often made between the interconnection of personal computers many decades ago resulting in the rise of the Internet and what is happening within the power grid today. However, the power grid is a large and complex machine with many aspects; it comprises a very broad set of topics. This hour-long talk will begin with a review of power systems and focus upon emerging communications capabilities within the power grid including: metering and demand-response, distributed generation, fault detection isolation and restoration, and a brief overview of emerging standards. We will end with a discussion of more speculative innovations that may impact the smart grid further into the future.
