Qiao lecture is March 26
Mar 25th, 2010 | By tfedderson2 | Category: Campus News, Issue, March 25, 2010Wei Qiao, a recipient of a 2010 CAREER award from the National Science Foundation, will discuss “New Developments in Control and Optimization for Electric Energy Security and Sustainability,” at 2:30 p.m. March 26 in the Scott Engineering Center, room N129. The free talk is part of the Pierson Lecture Series of Graduate Student Seminars, presented by the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
According to Qiao, an assistant professor of electrical engineering, electric energy accounts for 40 percent of the total U.S. energy consumption, and continues to grow. Qiao will present new developments in control and optimization to improve electric energy security and sustainability, with case studies including mechanical speed sensorless optimal control for wind generators; missing-sensor-fault-tolerant control for flexible AC transmission system devices; and optimal wide-area coordinating control for electric power systems.
