Professor Wang Haifeng from Queen’s university of Befast attended Frontier Forum of Institute of Electrical Engineering and gave an introduction to his recent work on power system analysis and controlling on August 10. The Report was hosted by Dr Xiao Liye, the director of Institute of Electrical Engineering.
Professor Haifeng Wang firstly introduced that in a multi-machine power system just using the local signal to design Power System stabilizers (PSS) could achieve desired effect by using the method of theoretical analysis. He also introduced that one of his Ph.D students had built an object function to give guidance about when, where and how much the load should be shedded to weak oscillation most quickly when fault condition occurs in power system. Then he introduced that his another Ph.D student employed analytical method instead of Mote Carlo method to simulate the probability density function of the important indexes of power system, thus to investigate the impact brought by wind generation. Finally, he pointed out that using the temporalspatial complementarities of dispersed wind energy resources could decease the fluctuation of wind power .
All the audiences enjoyed Professor Haifeng Wang’s novel and interesting topics. After the report, the director of Institute of Electrical Engineering, Liye Xiao, and research fellow, Zhiping Qi, as well as some Ph.D students had a further comunication with Prof. Wang.
Prof. Wang Haifeng's major research interest is power system modelling analysis and control, especially the renewable generation and energy storage systems. He has worked on projects sponsored by UK power companies, such as the National Grid Transco.(NGT), the Schneider Group and Toshiba International Plc. He was awarded the IEE Power Division 2000 Crompton Premium, 2004 Leverhulme Trust Study Abroad Fellowship, 2004 Royal Society Senior Research Fellowship and 2006 Global Research Award (from the Royal Academy of Engineering). He has published over 200 papers . Prof. Wang Haifeng is the principal coordinator of a UK-China Network of Clean Energy Research participated by professors and researchers from over 30 UK Supergen universities and leading Chinese institutions (website: www.ukchinanet.com).
