DESCRIPTION:Prof. Gabriela Hug\, Power Systems Laboratory\, Department of 
 Information Technology and Electrical Engineering\, ETH Zurich\nAbstract: 
 Countries around the world move towards increasing the penetration of conv
 erter-connected generation resources\, mostly wind and photovoltaic genera
 tion\, in order to render their systems more sustainable. This changes the
  generation portfolio of a country but also the import/export relationship
 s between neighboring countries. On the technical side\, replacing synchro
 nous generators with converter-dominated resources changes the interaction
 s of the generation resources with the grid and has impacts on the system 
 dynamics. This talk is divided into two parts: the first part gives insigh
 ts into electric energy scenarios for the future Swiss electric power syst
 em embedded into the European system providing a techno-economic analysis 
 thereof. The second part focuses more on technical aspects\, namely how co
 nverter-connected resources can efficiently be integrated into systems ope
 ration and aspects that become relevant for the resulting system dynamics.
   \n\nBiography: Prof. Gabriela Hug received the M.Sc. degree in informat
 ion technology and electrical engineering in 2004 and the Ph.D. degree in 
 electric power systems in 2008 from ETH Zurich. She also received the dipl
 oma in Higher Education Teaching in Electrical Engineering in 2007 from th
 e same institution. After her PhD\, she worked in the Special Studies Grou
 p of Hydro One in Toronto\, Canada and from 2009 - 2015 she was an Assista
 nt Professor at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh\, USA. Currently\
 , she is Professor in the Power Systems Laboratory at ETH Zurich and the C
 o-Director of the NCCR Automation. Her research is dedicated to control an
 d optimization of electric power systems. She has received a number of awa
 rds for her work including the US NSF CAREER Award\, the IEEE PES Outstand
 ing Young Engineer Award and the ALEA Award.
