Keynote Speaker-1

Concepts of Renewable Energy Integration: Smart Grid

Janos Sebestyen Janosy

Senior Consultant

Energy Research Centre

Hungarian Academy of Sciences

Janos.S.Janosy@energia.mta.hu

We are living with networks surrounding us. The first such network was probably the postal services, and now everyone is already using 4G mobile internet. The IT networks evolved quickly from the centralized form to a flexible, distributed, intelligent, scalable, diverse and partially autonomic structure, which is much less vulnerable.

Megawatts and gigawatts are not so easy to handle than megabytes and gigabytes. Transferring huge amounts of electrical energy requires big investments. The story started at the end of the 19th century with steam engines, generating power first for the factories, later for the settlements of the workers, moving close to the big industrial centers. Connecting those resulted in national grids available at least for the urbanized areas. It may sound strange, but the consumption habits have changed very little during the last 120 years. There is a meter outside the house and anybody can draw any time as much energy as he/she pleases. All this happening with fixed prices not depending upon the actual state of the supply and the demand ‑ which is rather strange nowadays. The control of the networks utilizes frequency as the main state variable; however, consumption less and less depends upon the frequency.

The lessons of 11th of Sept. 2001 and the 2003 big blackout lasting four days on the east coast of USA taught us that something has to be done: we cannot continue with the methods of the 19th century. We already know from the information technology: networks should be redundant, diverse, distributed, hierarchically built, self‑diagnosing and self‑healing in order to be able to provide robust and reliable service. How to build it up without losing the service even for a short period of time?

On the other hand, the unpredictable and renewable energy resources are growing very rapidly. Photovoltaic cells, wind turbines, biogas, etc. They are relatively small, but very numerous and they definitely cannot be handled efficiently in the old-fashioned centralized way. They seem cheaper and cheaper, but we have to add the cost of replacing the unpredictable sources if necessary. We need either local energy storage as much as possible to cover the periods of time when the sun is down and the wind is not blowing, or to have the traditional power plants operating at lower than nominal power in order ta take over if necessary. These costs should be added to the costs of the renewable but unpredictable power sources and this sum has to be minimized. That implies that customers have to be smart, more intelligent to optimize the various possibilities e.g. in the environment of new, fast‑changing flexible electricity tariffs.

Different countries are in different situation, depending upon the different history and levels of development. There is no common approach to improve. There will be different ideas, different methods presented and compared in a easy understandable way. This is where our knowledge and experience steps in: simulation. Experimenting with big power is expensive, but the modeling is straightforward and reliable, and different approaches can be worked out relatively easy and this should not last very long periods of time.

Keynote Speaker-2

The Simulated Kalman Filter: A New Metaheuristic Approach to Optimization

Zuwairie Bin Ibrahim

Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering

University Malaysia Pahang

Email: zuwairie@ump.edu.my

In this talk, a novel estimation-based metaheuristic optimization algorithm, named as Simulated Kalman Filter (SKF) and its variants will be presented for global optimization problems. This new algorithm is inspired by the estimation capability of the Kalman Filter. In principle, the state estimation problem is regarded as an optimization problem and each agent in SKF acts as a Kalman Filter. An agent in the population finds a solution to the optimization problem using a standard Kalman Filter framework, which includes a simulated measurement process and a best-so-far solution as a reference. It is found that the SKF algorithm is a promising approach and competitive against some well-known metaheuristic algorithms, such as Genetic Algorithm, Particle Swarm Optimization, and Gravitational Search Algorithms. Finally, hybridization of SKF with other metaheuristic will be presented as well as the extension of SKF for solving combinatorial optimization problems.

Biography

Associate Professor Dr. Zuwairie Ibrahim is one of the inventors of the Simulated Kalman Filter, which is a new optimization algorithm based on the Kalman filtering framework. He obtained a B.Eng (Mechatronics) and M.Eng (Electrical) from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, and Ph.D in Electrical Engineering from Meiji University, Japan. He is currently Associate Professor of Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Universiti Malaysia Pahang. His research interests include Computational Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence, Molecular and DNA Computing, Machine Vision and Automated Visual Inspection. He has published over 100 journal papers and over 200 conference papers. He received several conference awards including: i) Best Instrumentation Paper Award in International Conference on Control, Instrumentation, and Mechatronics Engineering 2007, ii) Session Best Presentation Award in Joint 2nd International Conference on Soft Computing and Intelligent Systems and 5th International Symposium on Advanced Intelligent Systems 2004, and iii) Student paper award in the IEEE International Symposium on Industrial Electronics 2004. He is a member of IEEE, BEM and mSET.
