SUMMARY:Building an electrical system from the bottom up by interconnecting
  microgrids
DESCRIPTION:Building an electrical system from the bottom up by interconnec
 ting microgrids\nEnergy Futures Lab hosts a seminar from Dr Adria Junyent 
 Ferre of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering discusses
  on the RENGA project.\nAbstract\nThe consistent improvement of photovolta
 ics and battery technologies over the years has made it possible to provid
 e basic access to electricity in rural communities of the developing world
 . These small-scale autonomous systems are the only viable way to deliver 
 electricity in locations that can’t be reached by the national transmiss
 ion system. How these autonomous systems can grow into larger utility netw
 orks remains an open question.\nThe GCRF project RENGA supported by the EP
 SRC is developing a concept of “interconnection network” that would en
 able small autonomous power systems to share their energy resources and fa
 cilitate the growth of demand over time as an alternative to the conventio
 nal network expansion paradigm. This talk will present an overview of the 
 project together with insights about the work that has been done so far.\n
 Biography\nAdria Junyent-Ferre graduated from the School of Industrial Eng
 ineers of Barcelona (ETSEIB) in 2007 and obtained his PhD in Electrical En
 gineering from the same university in 2011.\nHe is a lecturer of the Dept.
  of Electrial and Electronic Engineering at Imperial College since 2014. H
 is area of expertise is power electronics for voltage-source converter HVD
 C transmission\, wind power generation and new forms of low voltage distri
 bution.\nHis specific focus is on the design of power electronic converter
 s and how they are controlled to interact with electrical networks.\nVenue
 \nThe talk will be held in Room 611 of Electrical and Electronic Engineeri
 ng (building 16 On the campus map). The room is known as the Gabor Suite.\
 nIf  you are entering the building from Dalby Court/through the building
 ’s  main entrance take the lift to the sixth floor\, turn right through 
 the  double doors and it is near the end on your left hand side.
