Further details about the presentation and presenter bios can be found in the attachment.\n\nWe target inviting more speakers in th e power/energy industry to talk about the unique challenges and opportunit ies in the future. Please stay tuned.\n\nBest regards\,\nYubo Wang\nChapte r Chair\, IEEE PES Princeton/Central Jersey Section\nStaff Research Scient ist\, Siemens Technology\n\nSpeaker(s): Xiaofan Wu\, Ulrich Muenz\n\nAgend a: \nSiemens Technology’s North America R&D Hub in Princeton NJ is spear heading innovation in resiliency and sustainability for energy systems. Th e main challenges of today’s power system are to mitigate climate change and adapt to more frequent and intense natural disasters\, as well as to control and optimize the increasing inverter-based renewable generation. I n this seminar\, we will share how Siemens Technology drives innovation in this field by developing a cleaner\, more reliable and more resilient ene rgy system.\n\nFirst\, we will provide an overview of Siemens Technology ’s [Advanced Microgrid Research and Demonstration Testbed](https://new.s iemens.com/us/en/company/topic-areas/distributed-energy-systems/princeton- resilient-campus.html) - the Princeton Island Grid Living Lab. The living lab serves as a platform for research\, development\, and demonstration of new technologies for building management and microgrid operation. It also addresses the business need of lower CO2 footprint and energy cost and ma intain a reliable and sustainable power delivery in case of an emergency. In addition\, Princeton Island Grid provides a co-creation space for both Siemens internal and external partners to deploy innovative microgrid solu tions.\n\nSecond\, we will give an overview of recent advances to increase resilience in distribution systems after natural disasters. The main chal lenge of natural disasters is that many power system components are affect ed within a very short timeframe\, which is referred to as N-k contingenci es. This large number of component outages leads to multiple blackouts in distribution systems. We present two different technologies how to re-supp ly loads after such blackouts: distribution system reconfiguration and aut onomous blackstart. Distribution system reconfiguration uses normally open switches between distribution feeders to re-supply loads from healthy fee ders. The main challenge is how to select the best configuration under a l arge number of normally open switches. We show the effectiveness of our ap proach using historic outages from a utility in the Rocky Mountains. Auton omous blackstart uses Distributed Energy Resources to blackstart subsectio ns of a distribution system bottom-up\, i.e. without connection to the bul k system. We show first results using simulations and our hardware testbed . Both technologies are developed within the US DOE-funded project AUtonom ous and Resilient Operation of energy system with RenewAbles (AURORA) led by Siemens Technology.\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/308259 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/308259 ORGANIZER:yubo.wang@siemens.com SEQUENCE:3 SUMMARY:PES Seminar: Siemens Technology presents resilient and sustainable energy systems URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/308259 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Dear colleagues\,</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p> This is a kick-off event for IEEE Power &amp\; Energy Society Princeton/Ce ntral Jersey Section Chapter after many years of silence.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>I n this event\, we have invited Dr. Xiaofan Wu and Dr. Ulrich Muenz from Si emens Technology to discuss about resilient and sustainable energy systems .
