Keynote Speaker III

Prof. Mo-Yuen Chow
IEEE Fellow

Keynote Lecture: Powering Time-Sensitive Applications with Dynamic Energy Management System (D-EMS) in Microgrids

Abstract: This presentation addresses the critical challenges of microgrid energy management in highly dynamic and time-sensitive scenarios, such as disaster relief. These environments are characterized by rapidly evolving conditions, unpredictable disturbances, and strict timing constraints, demanding fast, coordinated, and resilient control strategies. To meet these demands, we have introduced a Dynamic Energy Management System (D-EMS) framework developed by the Advanced Diagnosis, Automation, and Control (ADAC) Lab at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The proposed solution facilitates real-time coordination of distributed energy resources (DERs) by modeling them as cyber-physical systems and leveraging a hierarchical consensus algorithm for the control of large-scale networked microgrid. This architecture is designed to enhance overall efficiency by accelerating the speed of convergence, improving responsiveness, and supporting scalable and reconfigurable operations. We further explore the integration of digital twin framework for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) into disaster relief microgrids and its application for incipient fault detection and diagnosis to enable real-time monitoring, enhance situational awareness, and improve the resilience of the proposed management strategy under various operating conditions.

Keynote Speaker V

Prof. Chuang Liu
Northeast Electric Power University, China

Keynote Lecture: Topology optimization and control strategy of single-stage isolated single- and three-phase compatible AC-DC converter

Abstract: Bidirectional Isolated AC/DC converters are extensively applied in electric vehicle charging, hybrid AC/DC microgrids, and energy storage systems. Most existing isolated AC/DC converters belong to two-stage structure, which increases the number of power conversion stages and components. In addition, the bulky electrolytic capacitors required between the two stages reduce the power density and reliability. In contrast, single-stage isolated AC/DC converters can simultaneously achieve power factor correction and voltage regulation, eliminating the need for bulky intermediate DC-link electrolytic capacitors. Consequently, they offer potential advantages in terms of power density, cost, and efficiency. Considering the growing demand for high-power capacity in modern energy systems, the development of single-stage isolated single- and three-phase compatible AC-DC converter holds significant practical importance.
