Smart Distribution Systems

可靠、高效、低成本和高质量的电力供应对于改善和维持加拿大的高生活水平至关重要。现有的发电面临着环境污染、本土能源供应下降、能源基础设施老化和能源成本上升等挑战。新结构预计将托管分布式和可再生发电机组（DG），储能设备，插电式电动汽车（PEV），负载管理控制器和具有无缝集成特性的电网自动化设备。主席将专注于配电系统从传统向智能过渡的挑战，通过解决几个操作问题，如保护，电压/无功控制，配电系统稳定性和充电/放电PEV。

Reliable, efficient, low-cost, and high-quality electricity supply is essential to improve and maintain high living standards in Canada. Existing electricity generation faces challenges such as environmental pollution, decline of indigenous energy supplies, aged energy infrastructure and increasing energy costs.*New structure is expected to host distributed and renewable generation units (DG), energy storage devices, plug-in electric vehicles (PEV), load management controllers and grid-automation devices with seamless integration characteristics.*The chairholder will focus on the challenges of the distribution system transition from traditional to smart, through addressing several operational issues such as protection, volt/var control, distribution system stability and charging/discharging PEV.*
