Modeling and Optimization of a Micro-Grid: Huatacondo, Isolated Village in Northern Chile Dr. Doris Sáez Department of Electrical Engineering University of Chile With a low population density and many natural resources, Chile's electricity supply shortage is a paradox. The Atacama Desert, Andes Mountains, long coastline and strong agriculture provide the country with abundant distributed renewable energy resources that could, according to recent estimations, largely surpass the fast-growing electricity demand.

Guest speaker Ahmad Ismail from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia will speak on the topic of "Refinery Produced Wastewater Treatment Using Submerged Ultrafiltration Membranes."
