Keynote Session 1： Challenges and Opportunities from Renewable Energy: Role of Smart Grid
Keynote Speaker: Prof Saifur Rahman, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University
With the focus on environmental sustainability and energy security, power system planners are looking at renewable energy as supplements and alternatives. But such generation sources have their own challenges – primarily intermittency. Many believe that the smart grid – due to its inherent communication, sensing and control capabilities – will have the ability to manage the load, storage and generation assets (including renewables) in the power grid to enable a large-scale integration of distributed generation. In a smart grid, information about the state of the grid and its components can be exchanged quickly over long distances and complex networks. It will therefore be possible to have the integration of sustainable energy sources, such as wind, solar, off-shore electricity, etc. for smoother system operation. But in order for this to be possible, the electric utility will have to evolve, and change their ways of operation to become an intelligent provider of these services. This lecture introduces the operational characteristics of renewable energy sources, and various aspects of the smart grid – technology, standards and regulations. It also addresses the interplay among distributed generation, storage and conventional generation to provide an efficient operational strategy in the context of the smart grid.

Keynote Session 2: Sustainable Power Delivery Structure for High Renewables
Keynote Speaker: Prof David J Hill, the University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR
Many countries and electricity company groups are already committed to increase renewable electrical energy generation to 20% by 2020, and some have much higher figures. It is now clear that energy sustainability refers to the complete network (or grid) which delivers the power as much as the sources of energy. This package of energy supply and grid can make a major contribution to solving the urgent and potentially devastating problems of pollution and climate change. Further, there will be no universal solution, so Hong Kong with ambitious goals for emissions, reductions, islands, tall buildings and a strong interconnection to China, where massive developments in renewable power are occurring, will need its own investigations. This is particularly important at this time when future energy security options must be considered within the emissions targets. Much higher use of renewable power, including offshore wind-power (and demand management), should be under serious consideration already. The proper operation of an electricity grid involves an intricate set of balancing processes for energy, power, ramping all while achieving the regulation of system variables, e.g. voltages, frequency, powers and keeping the system protected and secure following disturbances. This is achieved with layers of system control (and market) processes. These processes all need to be redesigned for high levels of renewable power due to the weather driven variability of the power supply. Some studies have been made by governments worldwide to answer the question: what percentage levels of renewable energy are achievable? The question should also include asking what are the corresponding network structures that can be cost effective and robust to all the changes over coming decades? It is possible that this is all limited by stability problems caused by the variable generation. A research program begun in 2015 and funded by the Research Grants Council of Hong Kong under the Theme-based Research Scheme will be described which is aimed to determine the future structure of delivery systems, which can overcome any such limitations and be sustainable in the long-term, including the appropriate system wide information and control systems.

Keynote 3: A Novel Method based on Shifting Boundary for Price-based Residential Demand Response and its Application
Keynote Speaker: Prof L L Lai, State Grid Energy Research Institute, China
Demand Response (DR) is one of the typical methods for optimizing load characteristics in power systems. Utilities offer DR schemes to generate incentives toward consumers’ power consumption behavior for load optimization. In tariff planning, power consumption variation is an important issue which is difficult to be analyzed quantifiably. This keynote presents a boundary model for analyzing consumers’ power consumption behaviors, with a particular focus on residential home appliances. Candidate tariffs are analyzed in this model for their load variation potentials. Using different case studies, the talk explains the potential for practical applications of the model on pricing and smart meter deployment.

Keynote 4: Future System Challenges – Alignment of Strategy across Key Stakeholders
Keynote Speaker: Prof William Hung, University of Warwick, UK
With the ever-changing energy landscape towards a low carbon economy, there are significant challenges to the electricity supply industry worldwide. The presentation gives a reflection of the UM experience in managing the system with collaborative effort from the key stakeholders. The electrical power system in Great Britain (GB) has a maximum demand of around 65GW but no synchronized connections with other parts of Europe. Given the UK government’s low carbon environment, there are already 11GW of wind generation installed both onshore and offshore. This is projected to increase to 26GW by 2020 and over 50GW by 2030. The increasing dominance of wind generation has presented challenges to the GB system operation (SO). The presentation focuses on frequency control issues and gives an overview on how these issues are addressed in close collaboration with the industry. Given the relatively small synchronous island, frequency control issues have been important and these will become more critical in the future years. The presentation provides some background on how the frequency response services have been established since the industry was privatized in teh nineties. The continual reduction of conventional plant and increase of renewable generation will make these issues more challenging and the SO is taking a lead with the industry to address the issue with the key stakeholders. The relationship between low-carbon objectives and the strategic security of electricity in the context of the UK electricity system, the development of a smarter grid and smart demands are discussed.
