With the support of the two Sino-Danish projects EPIMES and CESMES in which CEE is partner, there will be given 4 talks by our industrial and academic partners from China.
The four talks cover a broad aspect of recent power/energy technology development in China, including the industrial view of internet of things, the new trend towards energy distribution network, the power conversion technologies for SOFC and active power quality.
The talks are free to attend and you just show up.
Program
9:30-10:00 Talk 1: Clean Energy Strategy of National Energy Group of China: An Industrial IoT driven Smart Energy Eco-system based on Carbon Neutrality ( Dr. George You Zhou, NICE)
Abstract: The evolution of Information Technology (IT) to Internet of Things (OT) has shown that an information network can be connected in an autonomous way via routers from operating system (OS) based computers and devices to build a highly intelligent eco-system. Conceptually, we are applying the same methodology to the Internet of Energy (IoE) concept so that Energy Operating System (EOS) based assets and devices can be developed into a distributed energy network via energy gateway and self-organized into a smart energy eco-system with hydrogen as the key coupling between energy flow and material flow for carbon neutrality.
NICE, as the innovation engine of National Energy Group, is proactively advocating the clean energy strategy which adopts Industrial IoT based methodology for hydrogen based multi-energy system design to integration clean fossil energy with renewable energy into one closed carbon cycling based smart energy eco-system.

10:00-10:30 Talk 2: Toward Energy Distribution Network in Renewable Dominated Energy Systems (Dr. Jin Lin, Tsinghua University)
Abstract: Human society has been rapidly heading to a new era dominated by renewable energy. Flexibilities from energy consumption side has been a must in response to the uncertainties dominated renewable electric system. A new trend to pave the road is towards energy distribution network (EDN) in capable of flexible energy consumption and active energy distribution. This speech covers the latest breakthroughs about EVs integration, industrial micro gird, active distribution network and P2G technologies. And an overview of EDN based on multi energy system is introduced at last to illustrate the bright outlook of fully renewable energy system appearing in the very near future.

11:00-11:30 Talk 4: Active Power Quality & Premium Power (Prof. Xianyong Xiao, Sichuan University)
Abstract: Previous power quality studies mainly focused on the detection, estimation and suppression of power quality disturbances. Those can be summarized as passive power quality. Based on the thorough and comprehensive analysis of power quality data, the data of disturbance can be used to solve more problems in power system. This can be described as active power quality.
