1st Speaker on 22 May 2012 (Opening Session)
Title: Information Communication Technology (ICT) meets Energy
 
Speaker:
Dr. Ingo Wolff, IEEE Life Fellow, President of the Information Technology Society (ITG/VDE), Germany, President/CEO of IMST GmbH, Kamp-Lintfort, Germany
 
Abstract:
Electrical power supply systems are changing worldwide. Energy plants on the basis of fossil fuels and also atomic energy plants, especially in Germany, more and more are replaced by regenerative green fuel plants like photovoltaic, wind turbine and biological generators. The increasing use of local energy producers and their extensively uncontrolled infeed into the distribution grid demands active manage¬ment of these facilities. Also, the local infeed into the supply grids can reverse the flow of energy with voltage band violation that is detrimen¬tal to grid quality. All these facts result in dras¬tic increases in the complexity of grid control. This also leads to the need for more active protection and control of components fitted both in the distributed energy resources and also within the existing grid infrastructure, to warrant neces¬sary protection and control functions. As a consequence, greater significance is being attributed to developing new methods for local, automated grid management in the distribution grids.
 
In future, the increasing number of electric vehicles will also put an increasing load on the energy dis¬tribution grids, with the resulting need for charging load management in the grid. Smart grids will provide an opportunity for both operators of smaller energy generation systems and energy users to share in the coordination of offer and supply. All these requirements demand far more comprehen¬sive metering and monitoring of the energy grid. Great significance is attributed to the security requirements that encompass all the aspects involved in operational safety, security from attack, and also data protection in terms of privacy.
 
Energy information networks and systems have to provide all the data necessary for metering and controlling the current and future energy grid. The implementation of an energy information network entails interdisciplinary deployment of know-how referring to energy supply, telecommunication and automation technology. Certain parallels can be detected in the structure and organization of power grids and tele¬communication networks (including the automation of each). Various aspects have reached differing levels of evolution, with the possibility of transferring corresponding experience. This is based on the assump¬tion of a paradigm shift in the energy supply as such, towards a peer-to-peer architecture in order to take account of increasing local energy production. Know-how transfer between the various disciplines requires a shared understanding, based for example on a classification scheme for putting definitions from various domains in relation to each other.
 
There are also a variety of upcoming new problems in the area of electromagnetic compatibility coming from the need of building new energy distribution systems and new communication channels as well as the introduction of electrical vehicles into the electrical power supply systems.
 
In the presentation these upcoming problems, first approaches to solutions and a view of the future development of this new broad field will be discussed.

2nd Speaker on 22 May 2012 (Opening Session)
Title: Through Silicon Via(TSV) Design and Measurement for Terabit data-bandwidth of 3D IC
 
Speaker: Prof. Joungho Kim, Department Chair of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science , Korea Institute of Advanced Science and Technology, Korea
 
Abstract:
TSV (Through Silicon Via) based 3D IC technology is emerging as the most promising next generation IC technology to overcome the technical and business challenges of the current CMOS process including enlarged leakage current and considerable increase of investment budget. As a result, TSV is becoming the most crucial interconnection structure to determine the performance of the 3D IC. However, in the TSV based 3D IC, signal integrity issues of the TSV are becoming the major design concern due to the high frequency loss, power supply noise, and noise coupling of the TSV, while more than thousand of TSV’s as well as vertical and lateral interconnections are routed in a tiny 3D silicon space.
 
In this presentation, I will introduce the modeling efforts and measurement results of the TSV with respect to high frequency loss, power supply noise, and noise coupling in the 3D IC. In addition, I will present high frequency modeling and measurement results to show the silicon depletion effect, failure mechanism, and thermal impacts on the performance of TSV. Finally, I will propose future TSV structures for over 10 tera-bit scale data-bandwidth for CPU-memory interface in 3D IC.

Abstract:
Nanotechnology and Inkjet-printed flexible electronics and sensors fabricated on paper , plastic and other polymer substrates are introduced as a sustainable ultra-low-cost solution for the first paradigms of Internet of Things, "Smart Skins" and "Zero-Power" applications. The talk will cover examples from UHF up to the millimeter-wave frequency ranges (mmID's), while it willl include the state of the art of fully-integrated wireless sensor modules on paper or flexible polymers and show the first ever 2D sensor integration with an RFID tag module on paper, as well as numerous 3D multilayer paper-based and LCP-based RF/microwave structures, that could potentially set the foundation for the truly convergent wireless sensor ad-hoc networks of the future with enhanced cognitive intelligence and "zero-power" operability through ambient energy harvesting. Examples from wearable (e.g. biomonitoring) antennas and RF modules will be reported, as well as the first integration of inkjet-printed nanotechnology-based sensors on paper and organic substrates.
