Speech Title: Wireless Power Transfer for Electric Vehicle Applications
Abstract: Wireless power transfer (WPT) using magnetic resonance is a technology that could set humans free from annoying wires. In fact, the WPT adopts the same basic theory, which has already been developed for at least 30 years, with the term inductive power transfer. WPT technology has been developing rapidly in recent years. At the kilowatt power level, the transfer distance increases from several millimeters to several hundred millimeters with a grid-to-load efficiency above 90%. The advances make the WPT highly attractive for electric vehicle (EV) charging applications in both stationary and dynamic scenarios. In this talk, I will discuss the different topologies and various compensation techniques used in WPT. The prominent role of different stages of power converters in the WPT system will be highlighted in detail. The effects of EV charging on the grid, the bidirectional capability of EVs, and the management of charging strategies will be discussed. The talk will also focus on integrating Renewable Energy Sources (RES) with EVs. At last, future challenges such as safety, health, Foreign Object Detection (FOD), and economic criteria in wireless EV charging systems are also addressed.

Speech Title: The State Similarity Method and Its Applications in Power System Optimization
Abstract: With the increasing penetration of renewable energy, uncertainty in power system operation has grown significantly. Optimization problems such as optimal power flow, reliability assessment, and unit commitment are increasingly characterized by large problem scales, numerous operating scenarios, and high solution frequencies. Conventional approaches that independently formulate and solve an optimization model for each scenario therefore face dual challenges in computational efficiency and practical engineering applicability. This speech focuses on the concept of State Similarity and explores how the structured and repetitive characteristics embedded in the long-term operation of power systems can be exploited to transform the repeated solution of large numbers of optimization models into rapid computation through the reuse of solution structures. It will also discuss how artificial intelligence can be integrated into this process to improve both the efficiency and trustworthiness of optimization-based decision-making.
