SUMMARY:FST MO-HQ Distinguished Talk Series - Dynamic Real-Time Optimization over Infinite HorizonsSpeaker: Prof. Lorenz T BIEGLER from Carnegie Mellon UniversityHosted by: Prof. Feng WAN
DESCRIPTION:Talk Review 活動回顧\nThe Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Macau hosted Prof. Lorenz T. Biegler\, U.S. National Academy of Engineering member and Carnegie Mellon professor\, for a seminar on “Dynamic Real-Time Optimization over Infinite Horizons” on 9 January. \nProf. Biegler presented a breakthrough in Economic Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (eNMPC)\, enabling real-time optimization of industrial processes over an infinite time horizon. Traditional eNMPC uses finite horizons with artificial constraints that compromise long-term economic performance. His new method applies a time-transformation technique to convert the infinite problem into a solvable finite form—retaining stability while maximizing true operational objectives. \nThe approach has been successfully tested on chemical reactors\, power systems\, and energy storage\, delivering smoother control\, higher efficiency\, and reduced wear. It aligns control actions with actual economic goals rather than short-term proxies. \nThe talk\, part of the FST MO-HQ Distinguished Seminar Series and hosted by Prof. Feng Wan\, drew strong interest from faculty and students in engineering and applied sciences. Attendees praised its blend of theoretical innovation and industrial relevance. \nA leading figure in process systems engineering\, Prof. Biegler is a Fellow of AIChE\, IFAC\, and SIAM\, with over 600 publications. His work continues to shape how industries implement intelligent\, sustainable automation. This infinite-horizon framework represents a major step toward smarter\, more economically optimal control systems—offering significant potential for green manufacturing and resilient energy infrastructure. \n澳門大學科技學院於1月9日邀請美國國家工程院院士、卡內基梅隆大學教授洛倫茨·T·比格勒（Lorenz T. Biegler）舉行題為「無限時域動態實時優化」的講座。 \nBiegler教授介紹了經濟型非線性模型預測控制（eNMPC）領域的一項突破：實現工業過程在無限時間範圍內的實時優化。傳統eNMPC採用有限時域並引入人為約束，往往損害長期經濟效益；而他的新方法運用時間變換技術，將無限問題轉化為可求解的有限形式，在確保系統穩定性的同時，最大化真實運營目標。 \n該方法已在化學反應器、電力系統及儲能裝置中成功驗證，實現更平穩的控制、更高效率與更低設備磨損，使控制策略真正契合經濟目標，而非僅追求短期指標。 \n本次講座為科技學院傑出講座系列之一，由萬峰教授主持，吸引了眾多工程與應用科學領域的師生參與。與會者高度評價其理論創新與工業應用價值的緊密結合。 \n作為過程系統工程領域的權威，Biegler教授是美國化學工程師學會（AIChE）、國際自動控制聯合會（IFAC）及工業與應用數學學會（SIAM）會士，發表論文逾600篇。其研究持續推動產業邁向智能化與可持續自動化。此無限時域框架標誌著邁向更智能、經濟效益更優的控制系統的重要一步，對綠色製造與韌性能源基礎設施具有廣闊應用前景。 \nProf Wan Feng introduced Prof Biegler Prof. Lorenz T.

SUMMARY:FST Distinguished Talk – Renewable and Sustainable Energy Technologies for Future GridsSpeaker: Prof. Kashem Muttaqi from University of WollongongHosted by: Prof. Ming Hao WANG
DESCRIPTION:Talk Review 活動回顧\nThe Faculty of Science and Technology at the University of Macau on January 16\, 2026 hosted an insightful distinguished seminar titled “Renewable and Sustainable Energy Technologies for Future Grids\,” featuring Distinguished Professor Kashem Muttaqi from the University of Wollongong\, Australia. A Fellow of IEEE\, IET\, and IEAust\, Prof. Muttaqi is globally recognized for his pioneering work in smart grids\, renewable energy integration\, and power system optimization. In his seminar\, he addressed critical challenges facing modern power systems as they accommodate increasing shares of renewable energy—such as uncoordinated power injections\, outdated static network constraints that fail to reflect real-time conditions\, and limited operational visibility. He argued that traditional infrastructure planning is no longer sufficient and must be complemented by dynamic\, intelligent solutions. Key innovations he highlighted include solid-state transformers\, soft open points\, dynamic operating envelopes\, dynamic line rating\, and next-generation energy management systems. These technologies unlock latent capacity within existing networks\, offering cost-effective alternatives to conventional grid upgrades. \nFurthermore\, microgrids and distributed energy resources are transforming local energy ecosystems by enhancing resilience\, enabling consumer participation\, and improving reliability. Energy storage plays a pivotal role in mitigating the intermittency of solar and wind generation\, ensuring stable and secure grid operation. Prof. Muttaqi emphasized that the synergy of these advancements will form the backbone of future smart\, sustainable power systems. His presentation blended rigorous theory with practical engineering insights\, reflecting decades of research leadership. Held as part of the University of Macau’s 45th anniversary celebrations\, the lecture drew a large audience of students\, faculty\, and researchers\, sparking meaningful dialogue on the future of clean energy and grid modernization. The event underscored the university’s commitment to advancing knowledge in sustainable technologies and fostering global academic collaboration. \n澳門大學科技學院於2026年1月16日舉辦題為「未來電網的可再生能源與永續能源技術」的專題講座，特邀澳洲伍倫貢大學傑出教授卡舍姆·穆塔基博士擔任主講嘉賓。穆塔基教授是IEEE、IET及IEAust三大權威學會的會士，在智慧電網、可再生能源整合及電力系統優化領域享有國際聲譽。本次講座深入剖析當前電力系統在高比例可再生能源接入下面臨的核心挑戰，包括不協調的功率注入、傳統網絡限制無法反映即時狀態，以及系統運營可視性不足等問題。他指出，靜態的網絡容量評估已難以適應動態變化的電網需求，必須引入先進技術提升系統彈性與韌性。具體而言，固態變壓器、軟開關點、動態操作範圍、動態線路定額及新一代能源管理系統等創新方案，能有效釋放現有基礎設施的潛在容量，避免昂貴的硬體擴建。 \n此外，微電網與分散式能源資源正推動本地能源生態轉型，而儲能技術則在平衡間歇性發電、維持電網穩定方面發揮關鍵作用。穆塔基教授強調，這些技術共同構成未來智能、可持續電網的基石。講座內容理論紮實、案例豐富，並結合實際工程應用，充分展現其深厚學術造詣與前瞻視野。此次活動亦作為澳門大學45週年校慶系列學術活動之一，吸引了眾多師生參與，激發了對綠色能源未來的深入思考與熱烈討論。 \nProf Ming Hao Wang presented the gift to Prof Kashem Muttaqi (left) Prof Kashem Muttaqi delivered talk at UM
