Smart Grid and Vehicle-to-X

Abstract: Cyber-physical system has broad applications as in many applications their physical system and cyber system are increasingly coupled together for improving overall performance. Typical examples include smart grid and vehicle-to-X systems. This talk will present some case studies in these research fields to showcase the benefits of cyber-physical system research to practical systems.

Bio: Dr. Hongjian Sun (S'07-M'11-SM'15) received the Ph.D. degree in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from the University of Edinburgh, U.K., in 2011. He held post-doctoral positions with King's College London, U.K., and Princeton University, USA. Since 2013, he has been with the University of Durham, U.K., as a Reader in Smart Grid (with a Lecturer position in 2013-2017). He has authored or co-authored over 100 papers in refereed journals and international conferences. He has made contributions to and co-authored the IEEE 1900.6a-2014 Standard. He has authored or co-authored five book chapters, and edited two books: IET book Smarter Energy: From Smart Metering to the Smart Grid, and CRC Book From Internet of Things to Smart Cities: Enabling Technologies. His research mainly focuses on: 1) smart grid: communications and networking; 2) smart grid: demand side management and demand response; and 3) smart grid: renewable energy sources integration. He is an Editor-in-Chief for IET Smart Grid journal, and an Editor for Journal of Communications and Network. He also served as a Guest Editor of the IEEE Communication Magazine for several feature topics, including: Integrated Communications, Control, and Computing Technologies for Enabling Autonomous Smart Grid, 2016.
