Tutorial 2: Energy Efficiency and Management with HTS Technology towards Forming HTS Smart Grids to Suit Sustainable Power and Energy Development

Abstract: In electric and green energy fields, high Tc superconductors (HTSs) provide opportunities for developing new concept power devices and energy systems. What is the latest in HTS characterization, pre-performance and current HTS development status? What is the advantage of HTS implementation? Can HTS devices be applicable practically? What is the future of HTS applications in power and renewable energy fields? While addressing those common curiosities, this tutorial will present principles and details from HTS material science to HTS devices and then HTS systems, covering the principles, device designs and practical applications. Advantages and benefits by using the HTS will be evaluated through the analysis both in principle and using results from practical experiments.

Speaker Bio: Prof. Jian Xun Jin is currently a Professor with the School of Electrical and Information Engineering, Tianjin University, Tianjin, China. He is the Chair of the IEEE China Council Council of Superconductivity Chapter (CCCSC), Guest Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity special issues, and General Chair of the 2020 International Conference on Applied Superconductivity and Electromagnetic Devices (ASEMD). His current research interests include applied superconductivity, superconducting material characterization and application modelling, superconductors in strong current and electrical power applications, electromagnetic devices, electric machines, energy efficiency and green energy generation, electric vehicles, and control and measurement technologies. He has over 200 hundreds research papers published and also has 10 books and 10 book chapters, and 50 invention patents as the principal author and inventor in the above research fields.

Tutorial 3: Issues and Challenges of Large-Scale Renewable Energy Integration into the Grid

Abstract: This tutorial will discuss some of the technical challenges of integrating renewable energy into the grid. It will also discuss some potential technologies available in the market that can be used to minimise the challenges associated with the grid connection process.

Speaker Bio: Dr. Md Moktadir Rahman is currently working as a Senior Power System Connection Planning Engineer at Essential Energy (in NSW, Australia), a Distribution Network System Operator (DNSP) where he is involved in the grid connection and planning of large-scale generators and loads. In his previous role as a Senior Power System Engineer at Ingeteam Australia Pty. Ltd, he was involved more than 3 GW of large-scale grid connected Solar PV and Battery integrations across Australia. Dr. Rahman has more than 8 years of experience in the power system planning, steady-state and dynamic studies, grid connected renewable energy integration and demand side management. He completed his PhD degree from Western Australia in 2018.
