Abstract:

The increasing demand for energy, the limited supply of traditional energy sources, and a growing desire for cleaner energy have led to the exploration of distributed energy resources (DERs). Novel and advanced Energy Management Systems and technologies are urgently needed to handle the challenges such as scalability, interoperability, reliability/resilience, and cyber-security when the amount of DER incorporation is massive, especially when the operation dynamics changes rapidly. This presentation will overview the research and technologies that integrate distributed energy sources into the grid through Networked Microgrids (NMG) and Virtual Power Plants (VPP) and describe the Smart Collaborative Distributed Energy Mangement Systems work and the Yangtze Delta Energy Management Systems Consortium Plus activities (YD-EMSC+) to provide sustainable, reliable, and greener power with greater flexibility and resilience.



Bio:

Mo-Yuen Chow earned his degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (B.S., 1982); and Cornell University (M. Eng., 1983; Ph.D., 1987). Dr. Chow joined as a Professor at UM-Shanghai Jiao Tong University Joint Institute in 2022.
