許昭教授帶領的研究項目獲選為國家自然科學基金2023年度重點項目（只有英文版本）

We are pleased to announce that our RISE Management Committee member, Professor Zhao XU is awarded with Key Program of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) 2023! Project PI: Prof. Zhao XU He is the professor of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, the directors of Power System Laboratory and Smart Microgrid Laboratory, the deputy of CSG-PolyU Joint Institute for the Green and Secure Power Grid, and the Chairman of IEEE Hong Kong Section. Prof. Xu has edited one monograph and published more than 150 scientific papers in top international journals and conferences. His research achievements have been awarded the First Prize of Natural Science by the Ministry of Education, and the Gold and Bronze Awards at the International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva. Project tittle： Low-Carbon Smart Operation of Integrated Energy System Considering Multi-energy Flow Trading Mechanism, Interaction Model and Decision-making Algorithm under Complex Time-Space Coupling Environment Project Description: The ‘dual carbon’ target spurs the smart integrated energy system’s participation in the multi-market joint transaction of the electricity and carbon emission markets. However, the large-scale integration of renewable energy will bring great uncertainty to the optimal operation of the smart integrated energy system. To this end, this project intends to investigate the critical technologies for the low-carbon smart operation of the integrated energy system on multi-energy flow transaction mechanism, interaction model, and decision-making algorithm under a complex time-space coupling environment. First, conduct in-depth research on the demand response mechanism, peer-to-peer power trading mechanism, and multi-agents carbon trading mechanism from the perspective of multi-energy complementarity to establish a multi-market trading mechanism for the interconnected integrated energy systems to achieve low-carbon operation; Second, determine the impact of multi-temporal and spatial complex coupling and multi-agents game interaction in multiple markets to establish a multi-temporal and spatial coupling integrated energy system optimization model to hedge against the influence of multi-agents complex interaction to ensure the safe and stable economic operation of the system and improve the proportion of renewable energy. Third, an efficient collaborative optimization algorithm for integrated energy system transactions and operations based on model and data fusion driven is proposed to achieve solid technical support for efficient energy management. Finally, a simulation platform is built that integrates transaction mechanisms, optimization models, and management decision-making algorithms to promote the realization of the goal of carbon neutrality. Congratulations to Professor Xu!

倪萌教授獲大學教育資助委員會頒發研資局高級研究學者 2023/24（只有英文版本）

We are pleased to announce that our RISE member, Professor Meng NI is awarded RGC Senior Research Fellow Scheme (SRFS) 2023/24! This scheme aims at providing sustained support and relief from teaching and administrative duties to exceptionally outstanding researchers, to facilitate their full dedication to research and development and help universities attract and retain research talent. Professor Ni’s project “Protonic ceramic fuel cells for clean power generation: From new cathode materials to new stack designs” is awarded with a fellowship grant of around HKD$7.8M. Characterised by their high efficiency and low emission, protonic ceramic fuel cells (PCFCs) are power sources that promise to replace conventional thermal power plants. Despite this, the practical performance of a PCFC stack remains limited due to high energy at the cathode and the non-uniform distribution of reactants in a traditional PCFC stack. The project adopts both the trial-and-error and machine learning-based approaches to facilitate new cathode material development. Through multi-physics modelling and optimisation techniques, unconventional stack designs, including several nature-inspired stack configurations, will be evaluated for PCFC. The research integrates engineering, chemistry, physics and material science to address the complex challenges of using PCFC for clean power generation. Congratulations to Professor Ni!
