Abstract:
In this talk, an overview of recent developments in power electronics and renewable energy at the group led by the speaker will be presented. This includes different approaches to improve power quality of grid-connected inverters, inverters that mimic synchronous generators, provision of a neutral line for inverters, AC Ward Leonard drive systems, parallel operation of inverters, control of wind turbines and energy recovery from landing aircraft etc. These technologies have wide applications in distributed generation and renewable energy, uninterrupted power supplies (UPS), rotary frequency converters, static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) and HVDC transmission etc.
Biosketch:
Qing-Chang Zhong received the Diploma in Electrical Engineering from Hunan Institute of Engineering, China, the M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from Hunan University, China, the Ph.D. degree in Control Theory and Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China, and the Ph.D. degree in Control and Power Engineering (awarded the Best Doctoral Thesis Prize) from Imperial College London, U.K., in 1990, 1997, 1999, and 2004, respectively. He is a Fellow of IET (IEE), a Senior Member of IEEE and a Senior Research Fellow of Royal Academy of Engineering/Leverhulme Trust, UK (2009-2010). He is a Professor in Contorl Engineering and heads the Control and Reliability Group at Department of Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering, Loughborough University, UK.
He was a postdoctoral research fellow at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Israel, from 2000 to 2001, and then a Research Associate at Imperial College London from 2001 to 2003. He took up a Senior Lectureship at the School of Electronics, University of Glamorgan, U.K., in January 2004 and was subsequently promoted to Reader in May 2005. He joined the Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics, The University of Liverpool, U.K., in August 2005 as a Senior Lecturer.
His current research focuses on robust and H-infinity control, time-delay systems, process control, power electronics, electric drives and electric vehicles, distributed generation and renewable energy. He is the author or a co-author of three research monographs: Robust Control of Time-Delay Systems (Springer-Verlag Ltd, 2006), Control of Integral Processes with Dead Time (jointly with A. Visioli, Springer-Verlag Limited0, scheduled to appear in 2010), Control of Power Inverters for Distributed Generation and Renewable Energy (jointly with T. Hornik, Wiley-IEEE Press, scheduled to appear in 2011). He is currently leading an EPSRC-funded Network for New Academics in Control Engineering (New-ACE, www.newace.org.uk), which has attracted more than 160 members from academia and industry. He serves on the Technical Committee 2.2 (Linear
Control Systems) of IFAC (International Federation of Automatic Control), the Process Management and Control Subject Group Committee of IChemE, IEEE CSS Technical Committee on Systems with Uncertainty (TC-SU) and the IEEE IES Technical Committee on Renewable Energy Systems. He is an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics and an Associate Editor of the Conference Editorial Board of the IEEE Control Systems Society.
