O ISEP promove esta terça-feira, 13 de Julho, às 17:30, um seminário sobre veículos eléctricos. “Plug-in Vehicles – Grid Integration and Operations” tem como orador convidado o professor doutor Ganesh Kumar Venayagamoorthy.
PLUG-IN VEHICLES – GRID INTEGRATION AND OPERATIONS The integration of plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles increases the complexity and challenges to the various controls and operations at all levels of the power grid. Charging large number of electric vehicles randomly or simultaneously without an intelligent infrastructure will increase the load on the electric grid causing adverse effects and increase in cost of electric vehicle usage. Intelligent scheduling of vehicles for charging and dynamic load forecasting will become of vital importance. On the other hand, electric vehicles with the use of vehicle-to-grid technology (V2G), information technology and advanced computational methods can provide short term real and reactive power support to overcome the drawback of the intermittent nature of wind and solar power resources. Besides, V2G technology can make the electric grid efficient, reliable, distributed, clean and interoperable. This talk will present the potentials and promises of advanced computational methods and intelligence to mitigate the negative impact and exploit the benefits of integration of plug-in vehicles on the smart grid.
Venayagamoorthy falará igualmente sobre o projecto inovador Brain2Grid.
This project is based on an award from the Office of the Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation (EFRI), National Science Foundation, USA under the topic Cognitive Optimization and Prediction: From Neural Systems to Neurotechnology (COPN). It is a joint project between the Missouri S&T’s Real-Time Power and Intelligent Systems Laboratory and the Georgia Tech’s Neuroengineering Laboratory. The overarching goal of this multi-disciplinary project is to infuse more neurobiology into control systems, to make them more brain-like and be able to carry out real-time control of complex systems.
Ganesh Kumar Venayagamoorthy é doutorado em Engenharia Electrotécnica pela University of Natal, Durban, África do Sul, tendo recebido o US Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Program Award em 2004, o US National Science Foundation CAREER Award em 2007 e o Innovation Award from the Academy of Science of St. Louis em 2010. Actualmente é membro do conselho da IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid e director do Real-Time Power and Intelligent Systems (RTPIS) Laboratory da Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T).
