Student Activities

In this talk, optimal system operation strategies are developed to maintain the security and stability of the grid in a most cost-effective manner.

This seminar will review the recent outcomes of some smart grid challenges addressed by novel prediction techniques. At the generation level, decomposition techniques have been applied to handle the inherent uncertainty in short-term wind power prediction. At the transmission level, dynamic thermal line rating prediction has been studied as a viable solution to reduce congestion and utilise the actual capacity of the line.

This presentation will provide an overview of advanced voltage and current sensors providing synchro-waveforms and their potential application, with the focus on grid resiliency.

This talk will provide an overview of Canadian provincial and remote community grids, and a more detailed discussion of Ontario’s power grid, market, and future expansion plans, from an emissions perspective.

The Manchester Energy and Electrical Power Systems (MEEPS) symposium is a prestigious student-led event that has been held annually since 2012, providing a platform for students, researchers and young professionals to publicise their research works and discuss the latest developments and trends in the Power and Energy Sector. The theme for the year 2023 will be ”Navigating the Energy Transition: Challenges and Solutions”.

2024 Birmingham Decarbonisation Summer School | Accelerating Energy Transition towards Net-Zero The IEEE UK and Ireland Power and Energy Society Chapter and University of Birmingham IEEE Student Branch are supporting the Birmingham Decarbonisation Summer School.  This is a five-day event that will bring doctoral and postdoctoral researchers together to propose a technical solution [...]
