Speech Title: Microgrid Control: New Perspectives and Advances
Abstract: The microgrid (MG) concept provides a quite appealing solution for integrating distributed generators (DGs) and renewable energy sources (RESs) into power grids. The increasing interest in penetrating renewable energy power into the power system among the MGs highlights the importance of these systems and addresses serious stability and control challenges in MGs design and operation. The MG is known as the building block of modern power grids (smart grids), therefore, MG control is becoming more significant today due to the changing structure, high penetration of RESs and DGs, environmental constraints, and increasing uncertainties of power grids.
This speech describes the most important challenges in MG control as well as new relevant perspectives and research outcomes. It covers various levels of MG control including local/primary control, secondary control, central/tertiary control, and global controls. Furthermore, new outcomes and advances in the MGs as network control systems and cyber-physical systems will also be discussed.

Speech Title: Recent Progress on Modeling and Control of Power Electronic Converters for Microgrid Applications
Abstract: This presentation introduces the fundamental ideas of power electronic converter modeling and control, digital simulation, and experimental studies in the renewable energy systems and AC/DC microgrid. Recent advanced control methods for voltage source inverters (VSIs) and the hierarchical controlled islanded microgrid would be presented, including the mathematical modeling, controller synthesis, parameter selection and multi-time scale stability analysis, as well as the consensus-based control strategies for the microgrid and microgrid clusters. This topic would be an invaluable technical reference for practicing engineers and researchers working in the areas of renewable energy, power electronics, energy internet, and smart grid. This topic has been published in the recent book “Modeling and Control of Power Electronic Converters for Microgrid Applications” by Springer:

Speech Title: Electric vehicle battery thermal management systems with thermoelectric cooling, phase change material and Micro-Channel Heat Sink
Abstract: Thermal management of an electric vehicle's battery has become critical in order to remove heat generated by the battery and preserve its efficiency. This keynote presentation intends to present innovative ideas and next phase of future collaboration within the thermal management of the mass manufacturing of Electric Vehicle Batteries. At the feasibility stage, we intend to demonstrate the experimentally and theoretically validated configurations for the electrical and thermal analyses of predicted electric vehicle batteries. The first configuration is to design and model lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery in comparison to Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) battery and simulate the influence of increasing the outside surface temperature on it’ s electrical energy storage and performances. The second configuration is the extension or involves the first configuration but with an integration of thermoelectric generator (TEG) cooling mechanism to minimise the elevated temperatures of both batteries and assess batteries output electrical characteristics. The third configuration is the extension of the first configuration but with an integration of phase change material (PCM) to understand the influence of increasing the outside surface temperature on it’ s electrical energy storage and performances using third configuration. The fourth configuration is the implementation of high-performing micro-channel heat sink for effective heat extraction from the power electronic devices within the electric-vehicle.
