SUMMARY:WISE Public Lecture
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nWISE is pleased to announce a hybrid WISE Public Le
 cture with Dr. Gen\nLi. Please join us in-person or on Zoom for a discussi
 on on Europe’s\nOffshore wind energy sector. Europe is committed to an a
 mbitious\nenergy transition\, aiming to become the world's first climate-n
 eutral\ncontinent by 2050. Offshore wind energy and HVDC technology are\np
 ivotal to achieving this goal. In this presentation\, the\nstate-of-the-ar
 t of HVDC and offshore wind in Europe will be\npresented. Specifically\, t
 he driving forces\, electrical design\, and\ntechnical challenges of build
 ing the Danish Offshore Energy Islands\nwill be discussed.\n

SUMMARY:WISE Public Lecture
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nWISE is pleased to announce the public lecture by J
 ohn Avdoulos. Join\nus for a discussion on building a clean\, affordable\,
  and reliable\nelectricity system. With the decarbonization efforts and gr
 owth in\neconomic development\, increased electrification is forecasted to
 \ndouble in the next 20 years.  The problem has been defined as costing\n
 $500 billion in electricity infrastructure needs\, but it can be\naccelera
 ted through innovation and technology.  Data\, AI\, modeling\,\nand distr
 ibuted energy resources are key components to solving the\nproblem. The Es
 sex Power PowerShare DSO initiative is moving the\nindustry forward to dep
 loy technologies to enable DER’s at a faster\npace. \n

SUMMARY:WISE Public Lecture
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nTITLE:\n\nKeep decarbonizing and carry on: what are
  the GB network stability\nchallenges on our way to net zero?\n\nABSTRACT:
 \n\nThe Great British electricity sector is rapidly evolving to meet net\n
 zero requirements. In 2023\, Wind power contributed 29.4% of the UK’s\nt
 otal electricity generation\, and a peak of 87.6% of the electricity\nwas 
 generated using carbon-free resources. The transition is not free\nfrom ch
 allenges\, especially regarding stability.  The severity of\nthese challe
 nges was illustrated on the 9th of August in 2019 when\nareas of England s
 uffered a blackout partially due to the incorrect\nsetting of power electr
 onics converters in an offshore wind farm. The\npresentation will explore 
 some of the recent stability events in GB\,\nthe research involved in unde
 rstanding them better\, and the solutions\nthat have been adopted.\n\nBIO:
 \n\nAgustí Egea-Alvarez is a Reader (Associate Professor) at the\nElectro
 nic & Electrical Engineering department and a PEDEC (Power\nElectronics\, 
 Drives and Energy Conversion) group member. Also\, he is\nthe holder of a 
 Royal Academy of Engineering Industrial Fellowship\nwith ScottishPower. He
  obtained his BSc\, MSc\, and PhD from the\nTechnical University of Catalo
 nia in Barcelona in 2008\, 2010\, and 2014\nrespectively.  In 2015\, he w
 as a Marie Curie fellow at the China\nElectric Power Research Institute (C
 EPRI). In 2016 he joined Siemens\nGamesa as a converter control engineer w
 orking on grid-forming\ncontrollers and alternative HVDC schemes for offsh
 ore wind farms. He\nis a member of IEEE\, and IET and has been involved in
  several CIGRE\nworking groups.\n\nREGISTER:\n\n [Register] \nZOOM LINK:\n
