Dr. Wei-Jen Lee – Managing Power in a Big Way

  

He will speak to NTAEE on September 16, 2010 about smart energy meters and the coming nodal system as applied to the ERCOT energy grid.

Some men seek power;  Wei-Jen Lee just wants to manage it – it being electric power.

Wei-Jen Lee is a professor of electrical engineering and the director of UT Arlington’s Energy Systems Research Center, an internationally-recognized source of all things related to the generation, transmission and distribution of electric power.  Recently, Dr. Lee has focused his research on the development of MicroGrid (independent units of an interconnected electric power transmission system) and SmartGrid (using communications, advanced sensors and distributed computers to improve the efficiency, reliability and safety of power delivery)  

Dr. Lee is currently working as project manager of an IEEE/National Fire Protection Association research collaboration on arc flash phenomena whose goal is to refine existing IEEE and NFPA standards.

In his years of research he has become expert in 8 areas of specialization:

Power Systems Analysis - Load Forecasting - Power Quality - Utility Deregulation - Renewable Energy

Real-time Equipment Diagnostic and Prognostic Systems - Distribution Automation and Demand-side Management

Microcomputer based Instruments for Power Systems Monitoring, Measurement, Control and Protection
