2. 报告内容 Abstract: It is understood that the solution of the major problems of pollution and climate change, which are caused by use of high carbon fuels for energy supply, requires science and engineering advances across many areas. It seems to be taken for granted that so-called smart grids will solve any problems associated with distribution of electrical energy (as well as all the other things usually promised under this label). We argue that a more scientific approach is needed within a framework of 'future grid' scenarios over many decades. And it is far from a solved problem to know how capable current grids are to address the necessary energy, power and ramping capability with high levels of renewable power and current levels of power quality (frequency, voltages, peak demand and so on). The talk will describe new projects in Hong Kong and Sydney which address these issues. Some more specific topics around the speaker's interests in control, networks and stability will be described in a little more detail.

3. 报告人简介 Prof. David Hill holds the Chair of Electrical Engineering in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Hong Kong. He is also a part- time Professor of Electrical Engineering at The University of Sydney, Australia. During 2005–2010, he was an ARC Federation Fellow at the Australian National University and, from 2006, also a Chief Investigator and Theme Leader (Complex Networks) in the ARC Centre of Excellence for Mathematics and Statistics of Complex Systems. Since 1994, he has held various positions at the University of Sydney, Australia, including the Chair of Electrical Engineering until 2002 and during 2010–2013. He has also held academic and substantial visiting positions at the universities of Melbourne, California (Berkeley), Newcastle (Australia), Lund (Sweden), Munich, Hong Kong (City and Polytechnic). His general research interests are in control systems, complex networks, power systems and stability analysis. His work is now mainly on control and planning of future energy networks and basic stability and control questions for dynamic networks. Prof. Hill is a Fellow of IEEE and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, USA, the Australian Academy of Science and the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering. He is also a Foreign Member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences
