Global Security Control of Power Systems
Speaker: Professor David J. Hill, ANU
When: 2005-12-20 11:00:00
Venue: 78-420
Host: Dr ZY Dong
Abstract:Following system expansion, environmental restrictions, deregulation
(with its emphasis on economic issues) and a recent spate of system
blackouts, power systems control is entering a new era where systems
are complex beyond what has been allowed for previously and use of
information technologies will be paramount. There is a clear need to
combine advanced computing, control and communication (CCC) methods
in order to improve the capability to operate with the required
security in the face of a sequence of failures and widely varying
operating conditions. This seminar will review recent research
towards this goal. Within a framework of global control, the
importance of coordination across distributed, hierarchical control
structures will be illustrated.
Biography:DAVID J HILL received the BE and BSc degrees from the University of
Queensland, Australia, in 1972 and 1974, respectively. He received
the PhD degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of
Newcastle, Australia, in 1976. He is currently a Professor and
Australian Research Council Federation Fellow in the Research School
of Information Science and Engineering at The Australian National
University. He has held academic and substantial visiting positions
at the universities of Melbourne, California (Berkeley), Newcastle
(Australia), Lund (Sweden), Sydney and Hong Kong (CityU). He holds
honorary professorships at The University of Sydney, Huazhong
University of Science and Technology, South China University of
Technology, City University of Hong Kong and Northeastern University
(China). His research interests are in network systems, circuits and
control with particular experience in stability analysis, non-linear
control and applications. He is a Fellow of the Institution of
Engineers, Australia and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers, USA; he is also a Foreign Member of the Royal Swedish
Academy of Engineering Sciences.
