About Me

I’m currently pursing my Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering at Tsinghua University, advised by Prof. Yinliang Xu.

I’m a member of Energy Management System Laboratory led by Prof. Hongbin Sun, Department of Electrical Engineering, Tsinghua University.

My research interests include power system optimization and control, decarbonization of the power system, and the application of data-driven method in power systems.

My CV is here.

Research

The power system is undergoing an evolutionary transition for a more sustainable future under the goal of decarbonization. My research focuses on the power system operation problem with ever-increasing distributed energy resources (DERs) like renewable energy resources (RESs), energy storage systems (ESSs) and electric vehicles (EVs) integration on the demand-side.

Uncertainty Problem

Handle with uncertainty problem associated with RES during power system operation. My current research interest is on distributionally robust optimization (DRO) based approaches.

Distributed Optimization

Decentralized and distributed operation mode to fully exploit the flexibility and edge-intelligence of numerous DERs and promote demand-side users to participate in demand response (DR).

Decarbonization of the power system

Design effective carbon emission reduction paradigm to promote low-carbon operation of the power system based on carbon emission flow (CEF) theory and locational marginal carbon emission factor analysis. The key point is to investigate the relationship between the operation strategies of various kinds of DERs and the carbon emission impact of the system.
