Seminar: Power System Optimization for Large-Scale Renewable Energy Integration: Confronting Intractability and Uncertainty
Abstract
This presentation explores approaches to address computational intractability and uncertainty modeling in power system optimization, particularly in the context of large-scale renewable energy integration. It covers four key topics: topology optimization of offshore wind farms, risk assessment of renewables-dominated power systems, energy storage siting and sizing, and multi-stage low-carbon transition. These topics represent key challenges in power system optimization, including intractability in large-scale scenarios and integer programming, as well as uncertainty in short-term renewable generation and long-term carbon prices. To address these challenges, the presentation introduces solutions and methodologies, with practical algorithms and techniques for each topic. These approaches are validated through case studies and experimental results. Finally, the speaker will discuss common methodologies and share insights on power system modeling and optimization.
Bio
Bangyan Wang is a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical Engineering at Xi’an Jiaotong University, China, supervised by Prof. Xiuli Wang. He is currently a CSC visiting research student at the University of Birmingham, supervised by Prof. Xiao-Ping Zhang. His research focuses on power system planning and optimization with renewable energy integration, with emphasis on offshore wind power and power system reliability and resilience. He received his Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from Chongqing University, China, in 2020 and began his Ph.D. studies at Xi’an Jiaotong University in the same year. He has been a core member of several projects, including China’s National Key R&D Program and the State Grid Headquarters Science and Technology Project. To date, he has published several papers in top journals, such as Applied Energy. His Ph.D. thesis focuses on risk analysis and resilience enhancement of new power systems under extreme weather conditions.
