【Explanation】Malaysian scientist Wu Huijun participated in cutting-edge science and technology research in Guangxi and was hired as a professor at Guangxi University.

Recently, the reporter approached Wu Huizheng and listened to his "in love" with Guangxi.

　　[Explanation] Wu Huizhen, 40 years old this year, is a PhD in electrical engineering. He has long been committed to researching and developing new technologies for solving sustainable energy problems in developing countries. In 2014, he won the "Malaysia Top Ten Outstanding Youth Award".

　　[Explanation] In 2018, Wu Huizhen contacted many Chinese scientific research institutions and engineers in his work.

He was surprised by the technological development in China in recent years and wanted to focus his future career on China.

In July 2019, Wu Huijun applied for the "Work Plan for Outstanding Young Scientists from ASEAN to Work in Guangxi" (hereinafter referred to as the "ASEAN Outstanding Youth Program") implemented by the Guangxi Science and Technology Department, and was hired to enter the School of Electrical Engineering of Guangxi University for a period of one year Scientific research work.

　　Guangxi University gave me a good platform for me to carry out my research work. In addition to this, I was also attracted by Guangxi University’s research and research, as well as some equipment in various aspects, which allowed me to go smoothly. Carry out my research and continue some of the research I haven't finished in Malaysia, so I can continue to explore here.

　　[Explanation] During the implementation of the "ASEAN Outstanding Youth Program", Wu Huijun’s scientific research topic was to find a set of smart data platforms to integrate renewable energy (RES), combined heat and power (CHP), and power demand side management (DSM) Information from multiple parties such as supply and demand end enables users, power grids and government departments to use electricity more efficiently.

Wu Huijun took the electricity consumption of electric vehicles as an example to illustrate his research direction. With the sharp increase in the use of electric vehicles, car owners are likely to concentrate on charging at the same time, which will bring power peaks and affect the safe and stable operation of the power grid.

His research is to build an intelligent data platform, use algorithms to predict the charging power of electric vehicles at various times, and customize charging schemes for car owners. On this basis, the time-of-use electricity price strategy is implemented to encourage car owners to charge off-peak.

This intelligent data platform can optimize the power output of electric vehicles, plan the best charging route for car owners, and transmit the idle power of electric vehicles to the microgrid for others to use, thereby achieving the purpose of energy saving and emission reduction.

Wu Huizhen said that if the team's research can achieve a breakthrough, the future power grid will become more "smart".

　　My main research topic is about the development of power electronics. The most important thing is to do "MPC" research, that is, model predictive control. This is mainly used in power electronics platforms, especially in electric vehicles or some Motor control.

In addition to this, we also use "MPC" for energy scheduling and budgeting (research). We can know in advance that at a certain point in time or at a certain node, it lacks some energy or lacks some power supply. So we can adequately dispatch, so this can more effectively maximize and optimize the energy dispatch of our entire grid.

　　[Explanation] In just one year, Wu Huijun published 4 SCI papers and achieved phased research results.

Under his active promotion, the School of Electrical Engineering of Guangxi University, ASEAN Energy Research Center and the Indonesian Academy of Sciences reached a preliminary cooperation intention.

In June 2020, when the "ASEAN Outstanding Youth Program" expired, Wu Huijun chose to stay in China and Guangxi.

Today, he has been formally hired as a professor in the School of Electrical Engineering of Guangxi University and as the head of the Department of Electrical and Automation.
