Event on Risk and Vulnerability in Infrastructures in Lund 10-11 May
Welcome to two days in Lund dedicated to risk and vulnerability in infrastructures! First an afternoon of presentations by professors from United Kingdom, Norway and Sweden in a seminar supported by IEEE Sweden PE/PEL Chapter. Next day Ph.D. candidate Jonas Johansson defends his thesis "Risk and Vulnerability Analysis of Interdependent Technical Infrastructures - Addressing Socio-Technical Systems".

On Concept of a Wide Area Defence System for the Power Grid
2009-09-03 15:00
15-16: Guest lecturer Prof. Chen-Chin Liu University College Dublin. The purpose of a defence system is to help a power grid avoid a cascading sequence of events. Traditional N-1 security criterion does not assure that the system can withstand cascading outages. A wide area protection and control system with the capabilities to perform vulnerability assessment and determine the defence actions is needed. On line assessment should be based on vulnerable patterns of the power grid. Controlled islanding requires computational techniques to identify how the power grid will be partitioned. This seminar will provide simulation results with realistic test cases.
16-17: Discussion about IEEE and its benefits and features and specifically ideas for the the IEEE Sweden PE/PEL Chapter (moderator Prof. Lina Bertling).
Start: 2009-09-03 15:00
End 2009-09-03 17:00
Event location Department of Energy and Environment, Division of Electric Power Engineering, Hörsalsvägen 11, VD room
Campus Johanneberg
In view of revitalizing the Swedish PE/PES chapter, the Acting Chairman has scheduled a board meeting for early Septemeber. The intention is that a new chapter board will be elected in this meeting.
Documentation from the first meeting held in 2009 can be found here.
