Lecture Content Overview:

The voltage levels and capacities of transmission networks have increased from the first commercialized three phase AC system with only 2.4 kV, 250 kW in the town of Redlands, USA to the first commercial long-distance, ultra-high-voltage, AC transmission line in China with 1000 kV, 2000MW. Transmission distance has been increased from several miles to over thousands of kilometers/miles. With all such major achievements, small wonder that the AC power system became the Top Engineering Achievement of the 20th Century. Does this mean that DC is gone? The answer is an unambiguous no. What has happened in the past 50 years such as applications of advanced power electronics and control technologies, evolution of power system loads, and integration of renewable generation in power grid, really calls for a rethink about DC and AC in electricity supply systems. In this talk, the changes occurred in power systems over last 20 years will be summarized. A novel power network architecture hybrid AC/DC and its advantages will be presented. The new challenges and issues for control, operation and protection of the hybrid grid will be discussed.

Lecturer's Profile:

Peng Wang (Fellow, IEEE) received the B.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from Xi’an Jiaotong University, Xi’an, China, in 1978, the M.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from the Taiyuan University of Technology, Taiyuan, China, in 1987, and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK, Canada, in 1995 and 1998, respectively.
