ECE Distinguished Guest Speaker Series: Advanced Control of Energy Related Infrastructure
2019-10-17 10:30 (America/New_York) | 142 ISEC, 360 Huntington Ave, 142 ISEC, Boston, MA, 02115, United States
ECE Distinguished Guest Speaker Series
Jakob Stoustrup, Aalborg University
Advanced control of energy related infrastructure
Thursday, October 17
142 ISEC 10:30 am
Abstract:
In pursuit of solutions for a sustainable energy system, control engineering has several key roles to play. It is generally recognized that an energy system that includes substantial contributions from PV systems and wind farms, will have to leverage synergy between different types of energy related infrastructure (electricity, heating/cooling, gas, the water/energy nexus, transportation, etc.). The synergy will be instrumented by storage and conversion technologies, but orchestrated by advanced control systems that do not exist today. Furthermore, usage of e.g. power and heat on the consumer side needs to be coordinated, also through advanced control. Finally, the electricity system itself needs to be instrumented with entirely new types of control, where especially the distribution system is in need for new control architectures.
In this talk, we will present examples of current research at all three types of roles for advanced control related to challenges for a sustainable energy system. This talk will present some of the challenges for power distribution systems along with some solutions. Further, results from our research on integrating power and heat solutions will be presented. Finally, research on consumer side control challenges will be presented with a case study for heat and power control of shopping malls.

The Smart and Connected Health (SCH) Program at the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Intelligent Human-Machine System (IHMS) Laboratory at Northeastern University are hosting an Advancing Health Through Science Smart Health Workshop in Alexandria, VA, January 6-7, 2020 to discuss and promote advances in smart health research and to foster partnerships and education for the future of smart health. The SCH Program Directors from the NSF and National Institutes of Health (NIH) are thrilled to have the broader smart health community come together for this year’s meeting – it will be an exciting Smart Health workshop!
NSF is providing funding support to graduate students at advanced levels of engineering and computer and information science to attend the workshop, promoting the mission of developing a new generation of technologies and data analytics for smart health. All students from traditionally underrepresented groups in computing and engineering are eligible. Eligible students include women, minorities (African Americans/Blacks, Hispanic Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders), persons from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and persons with disabilities (https://www.nsf.gov/cise/bpc/). Students currently funded by SCH projects are not eligible to apply through this program.
Application Requirements:
Through the submission site, submit the two following files:

One-page NSF-formatted Project Summary describing the proposed or current research. The summary should be written in the third person and include a statement of objectives and the methods to be employed. It must clearly address in separate statements the two National Science Board (NSB)-approved merit review criteria:

The intellectual merit (i.e., the potential to advance knowledge) of the proposed activity; and

The broader impacts (i.e., the potential to benefit society and contribute to the achievement of specific, desired societal outcomes) resulting from the proposed activity.

The summary should be informative to other persons working in the same or related fields. Submissions that do not separately address both merit review criteria within the one-page Project Summary will not be considered.

Traffic-Based Framework for Measuring the Resilience of Ground Transportation Systems under Normal and Extreme Conditions
2019-09-30 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | 103 Churchill, 103 Churchill Hall, 360 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA, 02115, United States
Please join the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering for the first Distinguished Seminar of the semester with Dr. Jesus de la Garza of Clemson University.
ABSTRACT: Ground transportation systems are essential for the mobility of people, goods and services. Thus, making sure these systems are resilient to the impact of natural and man-made disasters has become a top priority for engineers and policy makers. One of the major obstacles for increasing the resilience of ground transportation systems is the lack of a measuring framework. Such measuring framework is critical for identifying needs, monitoring changes, assessing improvements, and performing cost-benefit analysis. This research addresses this problem by developing a traffic-based framework for measuring the resilience of ground transportation systems under normal and extreme conditions. The research methodology consisted of: (1) creating a microscopic traffic model of the road under study, (2) simulating different intrusions and interventions, and (3) measuring the resilience of the system under the different scenarios using the framework developed. This research expanded the current definition of infrastructure resilience, which includes the assessment of system performance versus time, to add a third dimension of resilience for ground transportation system’s applications, namely: location. This third dimension considers how the system changes along the different locations in the network, which reflects more accurately the continuous behavior of a ground transportation network. The framework was tested in a 24 km segment of Interstate 95 in Virginia, near Washington, D.C. Four hazard conditions were simulated: inadequate base capacity, traffic incidents, work zones, and weather events. Intervention strategies tested include ramp meters and the use of the shoulder lane during extreme events. Public policy was also considered as a powerful intervention strategy. The findings of this research shed light over the current and future resilience of ground transportation systems when subject to multiple hazards, and the effects of implementing potential interventions.

Prior to joining Clemson, he was the holder of the Vecellio Endowed Professorship in Construction Engineering and Management at Virginia Tech. Dr. de la Garza has been inducted into the National Academy of Construction. He has received the Faculty of the Year award from the ASCE’s student chapter, ASCE’s Peurifoy Construction Research Award, ASCE’s Thomas Fitch Rowland Prize, ASCE’s Best Paper Award from the Technical Council on Computer Practices, and has been elected to the grade of Distinguished Member of ASCE. Dr. de la Garza has received CII’s Outstanding Researcher Award, CII’s Distinguished Professor Award, CII’s Outstanding Instructor Award and CII’s Richard L. Tucker Award for Leadership and Service.
