SUMMARY:Trends of the Smart Grid Development
DESCRIPTION:Friday May 12\, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. IEEE Fellow and Professor Wei-Jen Lee\, Electrical Engineering Department University of Texas at Arlington\, will be presenting “Trends of the Smart Grid Development”. \nDay & Time: Friday May 12\, 2017\n2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. \nSpeaker: Professor Wei-Jen Lee\nElectrical Engineering Department University of Texas at Arlington\nDirector of the Energy Systems Research Center\nIEEE Fellow \nLocation: Bahen Center of Information Technology\, Room: BA 7180\nUniversity of Toronto\n40 St. George Street\nToronto\, Ontario\nCanada M5S 2E4 \nRegister: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/meeting_registration/register/44907 \nContact: Hoda Youssef \nOrganizers: IEEE Toronto IAS & PELS Joint Chapter \nAbstract: The electrical power system in the US has been named as “the supreme engineering achievement of the 20th century” by the National Academy of Sciences. While the power system is a technological marvel\, it is also reaching the limit of its ability to meet the nation’s electricity needs. In addition\, our nation is moving into the digital information age that demands higher reliability from the nation’s aging electrical delivery system. \nThe modernization of the electricity infrastructure leads to the concept of “smart grid”. A comprehensive smart grid design should cover both top-down and bottom-up approaches. For the current centralized generation and transmission system\, upgrading the power delivery infrastructure\, enforcing the system security requirement\, and increasing interoperability are well known techniques to improve the reliability and the controllability of the power system. For the bottom-up approach\, one of the most important features is its ability to support a more diverse and complex network of energy technologies. Specifically\, it will be able to seamlessly integrate an array of locally installed\, distributed power sources with smaller CO2 footprint\, such as fuel cells\, photovoltaic\, and wind generation\, into the power system. \nThis presentation discusses the opportunities and challenges for the development of Smart Grid\, highlights the smart grid related researches that I have been involved recently\, and explores the possibility for future collaborations. The presentation concludes with the listing of issues needed to be addressed to ensure successful integration procedures that will eventually create new structures of efficient\, modular and environmentally responsive electricity infrastructure that will have an impact nationally as well as globally. \nBiography: Professor Wei-Jen Lee received the B.S. and M.S. degrees from National Taiwan University\, Taipei\, Taiwan\, R.O.C.\, and the Ph.D. degree from the University of Texas\, Arlington\, in 1978\, 1980\, and 1985\, respectively\, all in Electrical Engineering. \nIn 1986\, he joined the University of Texas at Arlington\, where he is currently a professor of the Electrical Engineering Department and the director of the Energy Systems Research Center.\nHe has been involved in the revision of IEEE Std. 141\, 339\, 551\, 739\, 1584\, and dot 3000 series development. He is the Vice President of the IEEE Industry Application Society. He is an editor of IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications and IAS Magazine\, editorial board member of Journal of Modern Power Systems and Clean Energy (MPCE) and CSEE Journal of Power and Energy Systems\, and guest editor of IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid. He has been inducted as a member of Academy of Distinguished Scholar at the University of Texas at Arlington since 2012. He is the project manager of IEEE/NFPA Collaboration on Arc Flash Phenomena Research Project. \nProf. Lee has been involved in research on utility deregulation\, renewable energy\, smart grid\, microgrid\, energy internet and virtual power plants (VPP)\, arc flash hazards and electrical safety\, load and wind capacity forecasting\, power quality\, distribution automation and demand side management\, power systems analysis\, online real-time equipment diagnostic and prognostic system\, and microcomputer based instrument for power systems monitoring\, measurement\, control\, and protection. He has served as the primary investigator (PI) or Co-PI of over one hundred funded research projects with the total amount exceed US$12 million dollars. He has published more than one hundred and thirty journal papers and two hundred forty conference proceedings. He has provided on-site training courses for power engineers in Panama\, China\, Taiwan\, Korea\, Saudi Arabia\, Thailand\, and Singapore. He has refereed numerous technical papers for IEEE\, IET\, and other professional organizations.
