PES Distinguished Lecturer | HVDC for Supporting Energy Internet & Energy Integration by Professor Xiao-Ping Zhang
It is well-known that HVDC system is the key technology for long distance bulk power transmission. This lecture will look at the historic developments of HVDC technologies. Then we will introduce the applications of HVDC and HVDC grid technologies in renewable energy integration as well as energy distribution. Finally we will consider the future developments in the contexts of energy internet and energy integration. We will also review briefly the emerging HVDC technologies.
This event is organised by the Nigerian Society of Engineers Scotland UK Branch, the IEEE Nigeria Power and Energy Society Chapter, and the IEEE UK & Ireland Power and Energy Society Chapter. It is part of the IEEE PES Distinguished Lecturer Programme.
Prof Xiao-Ping Zhang, PhD, FIEEE, FIET, FCSEE is currently Chair in Electrical Power Systems, Director of Smart Grid, Birmingham Energy Institute, Co-Director of Birmingham Energy Storage Centre at the University of Birmingham, UK.
