Topic:

Wireless Grid Integration of EVs for V2G Applications

With the increasing penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) into distribution systems, the
concept of AC and DC microgrids have been proposed and intensively studied over the past years. In this
presentation, a resilient and sustainable framework in modern distribution systems using advanced AC
and DC microgrids will be introduced. Meanwhile, coordinated control of AC and DC microgrids is
deployed to stabilize the operation of each autonomous microgrid. A hierarchical control diagram in a
hybrid microgrid will be discussed, and a decentralized and adaptive control scheme for distributed energy
storage systems will be utilized to compensate the power mismatch between sources and loads.

Biography:

Udaya K. Madawala graduated with a B.Sc. (Electrical Engineering) (Hons) degree from The University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka in 1987, and received his PhD (Power Electronics) from The University of Auckland, New Zealand in 1993 as a Commonwealth Doctoral Scholar.  At the completion of his PhD, he was employed by Fisher & Paykel Ltd, New Zealand, as a Research and Development Engineer to develop new technologies for motor drives.  In 1997, he joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Auckland as a Research Fellow.  At present, as a Full Professor, he focuses on a number of power electronics projects related to wireless grid integration of EVs for V2G applications and renewable energy.  

 

Udaya is a Fellow of the IEEE and has over 30 years of both industry and research experience in the fields of power electronics and energy. He has served both the IEEE Power Electronics and Industrial Electronics Societies in numerous roles, relating to conferences, technical committees and chapter activities. Currently, Udaya is an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics and IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, and a member of the Sustainable Energy Systems Technical Committee and the Oceania Liaison Chair of Membership Development Committee of the IEEE Power Electronics Society.  He was the General Chair of the 2nd IEEE Southern Power Electronics Conference (SPEC), held in New Zealand in 2016, and is also a member of the SPEC Steering Committee. Udaya has over 250 IEEE journal and international conference publications, and holds a number of patents related to wireless power transfer and power converters. He is a keynote, plenary and tutorial speaker, and offers his service to industry as a consultant.
