SSE Weekly Colloquium | 理工学院系列研讨会邀请

The School of Science and Engineering (SSE) is committed to creating a platform for students and faculty members to exchange ideas and explore cutting-edge research developments in various fields of science and engineering. Starting from 2021 fall, SSE will organize the "Weekly Colloquium" series of seminars every Friday. Each week, SSE will invite our faculty members and distinguished guest speakers from outside the University to conduct academic seminars.  

All students and faculty members are invited to join the weekly colloquium!

Abstract

Extreme events (e.g., natural disasters and large-scale power outages) are increasingly challenging the secure and reliable operation of energy systems. Effectively utilizing flexibility resources and enhancing system resilience become important tasks of power grids, especially for achieving the dual carbon targets. In this talk, the analysis, modelling, scheduling and optimization of flexibility from the source-side (e.g., transportable power sources), network-side (e.g., system topology), load-side (e.g., building heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems) and storage-side (e.g., mobile energy storage systems) will be introduced. Potential research directions regarding power and energy system resilience will also be discussed.

The Speaker

Shunbo Lei received the B.E. degree in electrical engineering from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China, in 2013, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR, China, in 2017. He was a Visiting Scholar with Argonne National Laboratory, Lemont, IL USA, from 2015 to 2017, a Postdoctoral Researcher with The University of Hong Kong from 2017 to 2019, and a Research Fellow with the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA, from 2019 to 2021. He is currently an Assistant Professor with the School of Science and Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, China.

His research interests include power systems, resilience, grid-interactive efficient buildings, optimization and learning. He is the vice-chair for IEEE PES Loads Subcommittee, the chair for IEEE PES Task Force on FlexGEB to Enhance Electric Service Resilience, the secretary for IEEE PES Working Group on Distribution System BTM DERs: Visibility, Analytics and Control, and an expert advisory committee member for the China Huadian Engineering Co., Ltd. He is also an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid and IEEE Power Engineering Letters, and an awardee of the IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid Top 5 Outstanding Papers Award, IEEE PES General Meeting Best Paper Award, and IEEE PES PCCC Outstanding Young Engineer Award.
