Discrepancies between estimated and actual wind power generation in the U.S. and China

A Harvard-China Project Research Seminar with Haiyang Lin, Postdoctoral Fellow, Harvard-China Project

Speaker Bio: Dr. Haiyang Lin is a postdoctoral fellow with the Harvard-China Project. His research studies the characteristics of energy supply and demand, and puts forward the optimization method of distributed and centralized energy system based on the principle of supply demand coordination and multi-energy complementarity. On demand side, he uses an agent-based method to simulate high resolution energy consumption and demand response in building and transportation sector. On supply side, the off-design characteristics and operational flexibility of energy devices and the uncertainty and intermittency of renewable energy sources are taken into account to develop the optimal configuration and operational strategy for integrated energy systems, to ensure an economic and environmentally friendly energy supply. He earned his Ph.D. from Shandong University.
