San Francisco Chapter Meeting
Notice: Tuesday – January 28, 2014
Subject: Microgrid Talk Bio and Abstract
A microgrid
is a small power system composed of one or more distributed energy resources
which can be operated independently from the power grid. The concept was
introduced in late 1990s. With the new development of distributed generations,
for example, wind, fuel cell, and solar, and other new technologies, migrogrid
is being implemented and commercialized. Market data predicts that microgrid
vendor revenue will increase to $12 billion in 2018. In this presentation, Dr.
Liu will talk about the definition, application, technical development, and
technical challenge of microgrid. Dr. Liu will also share some real case
studies where Schneider Electric has been involved.
Speaker: Dr.
Yazhou (Joel) Liu
Dr. Yazhou
(Joel) Liu is a Principal Engineer and Engineering Manager in Schneider
Electric Power System Engineering group. He is managing the engineering
services team in California, Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada, and Utah. Before joining
Schneider Electric, he worked for THALES and Honeywell to design airplane
electrical power systems.
Dr. Liu
received his B.S. and M.S. from Harbin Institute of Technology, P.R. China, and
Ph.D. from Arizona State University, all in electrical engineering with focus
on power system engineering. After receiving his Ph.D., he worked as a
Postdoctoral Fellow at Center for Advanced Power System on the project of Navy
All Electric Ship power system conceptual design. He has published over ten
technical papers in leading international peer-reviewed journals and
international conferences and two book chapters. He has been invited to give
presentations at several US and international conferences, and he is also a
frequent reviewer on international peer-reviewed journals in power engineering.
He is an IEEE Sr. member and was a member of IEEE Task Force on Harmonic Modeling
and Simulation. He is registered as a PE in the state of California, Arizona,
Hawaii, Nevada, and Utah. He
was awarded as one of “New Faces of Engineering” by National Society of
Professional Engineers (NSPE) in 2006.
