Abstract:

A microgrid is a small-scale power system that can work without grid connection. It is an ideal way for renewable integration and a key building block for smart grids. However, a microgrid is very hard to control due to its small inertia, large uncertainties, and wide range of operating conditions. To unlock the potential of microgrids, new control solutions are needed to improve stability, flexibility, and energy efficiency. There are significant research opportunities in this highly interdisciplinary research area. During the past decade, Dr. Liu’s team has been actively performing theoretical and experimental studies on microgrid control. His group has designed a series of advanced distributed control algorithms. To overcome the limitations of control theory and further improve control performance, he also worked on deep reinforcement learning-based control design. In addition to algorithm designs, he also puts significant effort into hardware development and algorithm experimentation. In addition to the introduction of his research on microgrid control, Dr. Liu will also introduce the research assistantship and post-doc positions in his lab.
