DESCRIPTION:Prof. Mario Paolone\, Distributed Electrical Systems Laborator
 y (DESL)\, EPFL School of Engineering (STI)\, Institute of Electrical Engi
 neering (IEL)\nAbstract:\nThe secure and optimal operation of power transm
 ission systems does require the knowledge of the system state (i.e.\, the 
 state estimation – SE) since it is used by several critical functions su
 ch as: security assessment\, voltage control and stability analysis. Tradi
 tionally\, the SE has been performed at relatively low refresh rates (i.e.
 \, several minutes) in view of the technological limits of the so-called r
 emote terminal units (RTUs). Nowadays\, the emerging availability of phaso
 r measurement units (PMUs) allows to acquire accurate and time-aligned pha
 sors\, called synchrophasors\, with streaming rates in the order of severa
 l tens of measurements per second that are used to infer the system state 
 in a time-deterministic way. This technology is experiencing a fast evolut
 ion and being associated to a number of applications. PMUs already compose
  the backbone of wide area monitoring systems of power transmission networ
 ks. However\, this technology may be central even in the context of power 
 distribution networks to optimally exploit these systems to maximize their
  hosting capacity of stochastic resources (i.e.\, photovoltaic and wind po
 wer generation\, distributed energy storage systems\, electrical vehicles)
 . Within this context\, the seminar illustrates the methodological aspects
  associated to recent developments in PMU-based time-deterministic situati
 onal awareness systems for the monitoring\, control and protection of futu
 re power networks.\n\nBio:\nProf. Mario Paolone received the M.Sc. (Hons.)
  and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Bologn
 a\, Italy\, in 1998 and 2002. In 2005\, he was an Assistant Professor in p
 ower systems with the University of Bologna\, where he was with the Power 
 Systems Laboratory until 2011. Since 2011\, he has been with the Swiss Fed
 eral Institute of Technology\, Lausanne\, Switzerland\, where he is curren
 tly a Full Professor and the Chair of the Distributed Electrical Systems L
 aboratory. His research interests focus on power systems with particular r
 eference to real-time monitoring and operational aspects\, power system pr
 otections\, dynamics and transients. Prof. Paolone has authored or co-auth
 ored over 300 papers published in mainstream journals and international co
 nferences in the area of energy and power systems that received numerous a
 wards including the IEEE EMC Technical Achievement Award\, two IEEE Transa
 ctions on EMC best paper awards\, the IEEE Power System Dynamic Performanc
 e Committee’s prize paper award and the Basil Papadias best paper award 
 at the 2013 IEEE PowerTech. Prof. Paolone was the founder Editor-in-Chief 
 of the Elsevier journal Sustainable Energy\, Grids and Networks.
