Smart Grid: Green Drinks June Forum @ Arup

  • 25-06-2015 18:30 - 21:00
  • Arup Associates, Shanghai

“Smart grid” generally refers to a class of technologies that are being used to take electricity delivery systems into the 21st century by using computer-based remote control and automation.

These systems are made possible by two-way communication technology and computer processing that has been used for decades in other industries. They are beginning to be used on electricity networks, from the power plants and wind farms all the way to the consumers of electricity in homes and businesses. They offer many benefits to utility companies and consumers - mostly seen as big improvements in energy efficiency on the electricity grid and in the energy users’ homes and offices. Companies are increasing their deployment of Smart Grid applications as part of their efforts to drive energy efficiency.

What are advancements made in this technology in the last few years? Who are the key players in China? What is the incredible scope or extent of smart grid technology? What are its limitations?

Note: An entrance fee of ¥30 will be collected from all registered guests, while non-registered guests or those who show up at the door directly would be required to pay ¥50.

Speakers:

Mark Cameron
Subject: Mark will introduce the concept of Micro Energy Grid (MEG) and how it can provide affordable, resilient and sustainable energy. The talk will focus on the opportunities and benefits the MEG provides for development in China. In particular the talk will present a case study of the ongoing Hansung City project in Qingdao, a 375 ha mixed use development which seeks to employ the concept.
Background: Mark is a senior consultant with the sustainability group of Arup Hong Kong. He leads a team of engineers and consultants to deliver holistic, sustainable projects from district to building scale across Asia. His team has a particular focus on District & Distributed Energy (DE) projects. His experience includes design and implementation of large scale DE projects in Hong Kong, including Hong Kong’s largest Sea Water cooled District Cooling System (DCS) at the former Kai Tak Airport. Recently he has acted as a strategic consultant to Samsung, developing the Micro Energy Grid (MEG) concept. 

Dr. Deiyu Cai:
Subject: Dr.Cai will focus on smart control schemes within the smart grid system. He will present two smart grid technologies, Under-Frequency Load Shedding (UFLS) and energy storage based system frequency control schemes. 
Background: An expert in Smart Grid and power system planning, Dr. Deyu Cai is the chief engineer of Equota, a data-based Energy Management System SaaS Startup. Before his entrepreneurial adventure, he served as a former chief engineer of Shanghai Power, overseeing distributed power business lines. Dr. Cai received a PhD degree from University of Manchester in Power Systems. 

'Game Changers' Series

Every once in a long while, we experience a period where new ideas, concepts, and technologies emerge that revolutionize the way the world works and fundamentally change the way we live.

From the invention of agriculture to that of the steam engine, each brought about momentous changes to human behavior and social structure. Most recently, the World Wide Web brought about the dot com boom which completely shaped life as we know it today.

We believe we are on the cusp of yet another socioeconomic revolution that will once again reshape the way we live and behave. Only this time, in stark contrast to previous occasions, we will be going in the opposite direction – going back closer to nature, not farther from it; using less of nature’s resources, not more; and using these resources with great prudence, not frivolity.

In the new Game Changer series, we will discuss a number of developments that we believe may bring about the next revolution. Some of these are already well-known, while others are nothing short of intriguing.
