SUMMARY:Opportunities from Quantum Computing for Net-Zero Power System Optimisation
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nOptimised power system planning and operation are core to delivering a low-cost and high-reliability transition path to net-zero carbon emissions. However\, power system optimisation problems are now posing challenges for even the largest exa-scale supercomputers. A new avenue for progress has been opened by recent breakthroughs in quantum computing. Quantum computing offers a fundamentally new computational infrastructure with different capabilities and trade-offs\, and is reaching a level of maturity where\, for the first time\, a practical advantage over classical computing is available for specific applications. The talk will present emerging opportunities where quantum computing can offer value for power system optimisation\, including combinatorial\, convex and machine learning-based optimisation problems. The talk will also discuss challenges for implementation and scale-up\, and outline promising directions for future research. \nSpeaker\nProfessor Thomas MORSTYN\nAssociate Professor in Power Systems\,\nDepartment of Engineering Science\,\nUniversity of Oxford \nBiography of the Speaker\nThomas MORSTYN is an Associate Professor in Power Systems with the Department of Engineering Science\, University of Oxford and he leads the Power Systems Architecture Lab. He is a Tutorial Fellow at Hertford College\, an Honorary Fellow at the University of Edinburgh\, Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Power Systems and Co-Chair of the IEEE Power & Energy Society Taskforce on Power System Operations and Control with Quantum Computing. His research is focused on power system digitalisation and market design as key interlinked enablers of the net-zero transition. He received the BEng (Hon.) degree from the University of Melbourne in 2011\, and the PhD degree from the University of New South Wales in 2016\, both in electrical engineering. Previously\, He was a lecturer at the University of Edinburgh and an EPSRC research fellow at the University of Oxford. Prior to undertaking his PhD\, he also worked as an electrical engineer in Rio Tinto’s Technology and Innovation group. \nOrganiser\nProf. Yi WANG\nAssistant Professor\,\nDepartment of Electrical and Electronic Engineering\,\nThe University of Hong Kong \nAcknowledgement\nThe seminar has been supported by the Postgraduate Students Conference/Seminar Grants of the Research Grants Council\, Hong Kong. \nAll are welcome!
