Title: Powering Time-Sensitive Energy Applications with Advanced Dynamic Energy Management System (AD-EMS) in Microgrids
Abstract: The advancing of distribution control technologies has been providing new opportunities to substantially improve various performance in the energy sectors. This presentation addresses the critical challenges of microgrid energy management in highly dynamic and time-sensitive scenarios, such as disaster relief. These environments are characterized by rapidly evolving conditions, unpredictable disturbances, and strict timing constraints, demanding fast, coordinated, and resilient control strategies. We will describe the current research focuses in the ADAC Lab at Shanghai Jiao Tong University on the Advanced Dynamic Energy Management System (AD-EMS) framework and the integration of Digital Twin (DT) framework for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) into disaster relief microgrids. We will also briefly introduce the recently developed Advanced Interdisciplinary Energy Research Center at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
