CORPE Guest Lectures “1 Engineering Optimization – Applications in Power System” by Professor S.M Muyeen, Department of Electrical Engineering, Abu Dhabi, U.A.E “2 IEEE PELS & CSS Distinguished Lecture on Next-Generation Smart Grids: Power Electronicsbased Autonomous Power Systems” by Prof Qing-Chang Zhong, Illinois Institute of Technology, USA December 22 2015, 10:30-12:00 Pontoppidanstraede 101, room 23, 9220 Aalborg Aalborg University, Department of Energy Technology “1 Engineering Optimization – Applications in Power System” Professor S.M Muyeen, Department of Electrical Engineering, Abu Dhabi, U.A.E Abstract The optimization stage of the engineering design is a systematic process using design constraints and criteria to allow the designer to locate the optimal solution The purpose of optimization is to achieve the “best” design relative to a set of prioritized criteria or constraints These include maximizing factors such as productivity, strength, reliability, longevity, efficiency, and parameter identification In power system, different type of optimization techniques are widely used in many sectors such as power generation, transmission, distribution, machine design, parameter identification, energy efficiency, controller design, etc This presentation is focused on the optimization of controller parameters for Renewable Energy and Power System Applications A systematic approach of designing controller parameters using different type of optimization algorithms will be presented Biopgraphy Dr S M Muyeen (S’03–M’08–SM’12) received his B.Sc Eng Degree from Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology (RUET), Bangladesh formerly known as Rajshahi Institute of Technology, in 2000 and M Sc Eng and Dr Eng Degrees from Kitami Institute of Technology, Japan, in 2005 and 2008, respectively, all in Electrical and Electronic Engineering His PhD research work focused on wind farm stabilization from the viewpoint of LVRT and frequency fluctuation After completing his Ph.D program he worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow under the versatile banner of Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) from 2008-2010 at the Kitami Institute of Technology, Japan At the present, he is working as Associate Professor in Electrical Engineering Department at the Petroleum Institute, Abu Dhabi His research interests are power system stability and control, electrical machine, FACTS, energy storage system (ESS), Renewable Energy, and HVDC system He has been a Keynote Speaker and an Invited Speaker at many international conferences, workshops, and universities He has published over 150 articles in different journals and international conferences He has published five books as an author or editor Dr Muyeen is the senior member of IEEE “2 IEEE PELS & CSS Distinguished Lecture on Next-Generation Smart Grids: Power Electronics-based Autonomous Power Systems” Prof Qing-Chang Zhong, Illinois Institute of Technology, USA Abstract Power systems are going through a paradigm change A large number of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles, energy storage systems etc are being connected to power systems Moreover, various loads/consumers are being required to take part in the regulation of power systems and to improve energy efficiency These make it impossible to manage power systems in the way that has been (is being) done, simply because of the huge number of players in the system In this talk, an architecture for the next generation smart grids is presented and a technical route to achieve this is demonstrated This standardizes the interface of all electrical supplies (including conventional power plants and new add-ons, such as wind/solar farms, electrical vehicles and energy storage systems) and the majority of loads with the transmission and distribution network, by exploiting the synchronisation principle of synchronous machines This architecture opens up the prospect of achieving completely autonomous operation for power systems, where the communication and information layer of smart grid can be released from low-level control Biopgraphy Dr Qing-Chang Zhong is the Max McGraw Endowed Chair Professor in Energy and Power Engineering at Dept of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, USA He is well recognized worldwide as one of very few leading experts in both control and power electronics, serving as a Distinguished Lecturer for both the IEEE Power Electronics Society and the IEEE Control Systems Society He also serves on the Rolls-Royce University Technology Partnership (UTP) Board in Power Electronics Systems He obtained a PhD degree in 2000 from Shanghai Jiao-Tong University and another PhD degree in 2004 from Imperial College London (awarded the Best Doctoral Thesis Prize) He (co-)authored three research monographs, including Robust Control of Time-delay Systems (Springer, 2006) and a No Amazon Best Seller Control of Power Inverters in Renewable Energy and Smart Grid Integration (Wiley-IEEE Press, 2013) He proposed the architecture for next-generation smart grids, which is now widely reported on Smartgrid.IEEE.org, Spectrum.IEEE.org, SmartGridNews.com and the US Science News Radio Network His fourth book on Next Generation of Smart Grids will be published by Wiley-IEEE in 2016 He is an Associate Editor for leading journals in control and power electronics, including IEEE Trans on Power Electronics, IEEE Trans on Industrial Electronics, IEEE Trans on Automatic Control, and IEEE Trans on Control Systems Technology His current research focuses on power electronics, advanced control theory and the integration of both, together with applications in various energy and power systems
