Speech title "Resilient Energy Systems for Interconnected Infrastructures"
Abstract-This talk will present advances in research on planning, design and control strategies of hybrid energy systems and their applications on interconnected infrastructures. The talk will explain design approaches, strategies, and planning of smart energy grids. Nuclear-renewable hybrid energy systems will be discussed with different coupling strategies. Interconnected infrastructures are modeled and linked with energy, water, transportation, waste, food, health, and social systems. Fast charging station design is illustrated using hybrid energy systems with diverse energy storage and integrated within transportation electrification based on resiliency demand and control strategies. Demonstration of resilient micro energy grid is discussed and analyzed in view of different application scenarios, such as energy-water systems, modeling, and simulation of fast charging stations.
