Towards a smart, clean, efficient and sustainable future
As a result of information technology advancement and its deep integration with the electric power industry, smart grid forms a solid foundation to build smart city. Meanwhile, the construction of smart city will also greatly stimulate the enormous potential of smart grid. Decision makers must be fully aware of the potential of the smart grid, so that the smart urban construction can play an important role. It is expected that with the continuous advancement of technology, smart grid and smart city construction will mutually promote and facilitate each other.
Electricity consumption and electricity load are a true reflection of the socio-economic health of a city. The selection of data mining technology to analyze the mass amount of data from smart grid to support decision making for the government to effectively reduce operating costs and improve operational efficiency of smart city will be one of the big issues.
International Symposium on Smart Grid for Smart City will be held at Guangdong University of Technology, Higher Education Mega Center, Guangzhou, China from19th to 20th November, 2017. Different areas, some of them such as the following, will be presented in the invited talks：
1）Demonstration projects of smart grid for smart city in China and Australia, including its main techniques involved, testing, operation practice, electric vehicles, customer side management, distributed generation and energy storage will be shared.
2）A deterministic approach for sizing a solar photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage system with anaerobic digestion biogas power plant to meet load demand will be presented. This aims to follow the future trend of high penetration of PV. Practical example will be used to demonstrate the validity of the new approach.
3）The speakers will also discuss recent work on standards, recommendations and guidelines applied to smart grid for smart city worldwide.

Cyber-Physical-Social systems in energy for Smart City
In line with the global movement towards a sustainable renewable energy future to address Climate Change, Smart Grids (SGs) as cyber-physical systems in electrical power (CPSP) still cannot fully reflect the requirements of dominating renewable energy generation, stringent economic, environmental constraints, and market competition, social and regulatory requirements. Events in primary energy, end-use energy and generalized environment may significantly affect electric power reliability. A more holistic (system-of-system) approach needs to be taken to deal with future energy, and a new concept of CPSSE (Cyber-Physical-Social Systems in Energy) is proposed to consider coordination of environmental, economic, social factors and human behaviors. This enables collaborative mining big data with hidden causal relationships in the complex cross social, technological, economical, and environmental dimensions.
Biography:
Professor Yusheng Xue received an MSEE degree in 1981 in Electrical Engineering from EPRI, China and a PhD degree in 1987 from the University of Liege, Belgium. He has been an elected academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering since 1995. He is now the Honorary President of State Grid Electric Power Research Institute (SGEPRI or NARI), China, Adjunct Professor in dozens of universities in China and a conjoint professor of the University of Newcastle in Australia. He is the Editor-in-Chief of Automation of Electric Power System (in Chinese, EI indexed) and that of Journal of Modern Power Systems and Clean Energy (in English, SCI IF 1.207), as well as Chairman of the Technical Committee of Chinese National Committee of CIGRE from 2005 to 2012.
Professor Xue received a National Prize on Science in 1977, a National First Prize of Achievement in the Advance of Science and Technology in 1996, National Second Prizes respectively in 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2012. He also received a First Prize of National Excellent Technical Book Prize in 2001, a National Prize of Golden Patent in 2006 and an Excellence Patent in 2012.
By the end of 2015, 25 Master students, 37 Ph.D students and 4 post-doctor were successfully supervised in the field of power systems or nonlinear dynamics. Other 18 Ph.D students and 1 post-doctor are being supervised. He has published 5 books and 544 technical papers, including 96 SCI-indexed ones.

Collaborative distributed control on smart micro-grid energy management
The power grid has been at the core of national critical infrastructures and industrial control systems for decades. With the rapid advancement and use of renewable energy resources, Internet of Things (IoT), embedded systems, and wireless communication technologies, the legacy power grid is evolving into the micro/smart grids to provide a promising solution to the ever-increasing demands of power quality, efficiency, reliability, safety, economy, resilience/security, and environmental friendliness. The large-scale adoption of new devices and the presence of vast quantities of data have also created new challenges in the management and control of micro/smart grids. Thus, new opportunities have emerged for applying novel control schemes, optimization strategies, and big data technologies to make smart grids “smarter”.
This presentation will provide a brief overview of the energy sector revolution from the legacy power grid, through micro/smart grids to smarter grids, including the motivations (Why?), challenges (What?) and enabling technologies (How?) of each stage in this inevitable transition. This seminar will highlight one technologies being developed in ADAC (Advanced Diagnosis, Automation and Control) Lab at North Carolina State University on the Cooperative distributed energy management to illustrate some current efforts in making micro/smart grids smarter. The presentation will conclude with an outlook of our future work to contribute to the “smarter grids”.
