Prof. Jiabing Hu from the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering won the 2019 “IEC 1906 Award” for his outstanding contribution to the development of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Standards in Technical Committee SC8A (Grid Integration of Renewable Energy).
Since January 2016, Prof. Hu has served as a working group expert in IEC SC8A WG1 (Terms and Definitions of Grid Integration of Renewable Energy Generation),IEC SC8A AHG3 (Roadmap of Grid Integration of Renewable Energy Generation), as well as the joint convener of the working group IEC SC8A JWG5 (System Issues Regarding Integration of Wind and PV Generation Into Bulk Electrical Grid).In these roles, hehas made outstanding contributions to the development of international standards related to the power system with high penetration of renewables.
Founded in 1906 and as the world's first international electrotechnical standardization organization, IEC is responsible for international standardization in the fields of electric and electronic engineering. The “IEC 1906 Award” is one of the three most significant IEC awards.
The IEC 1906 Award was established in commemoration of the Commission’s foundation in that year and honors technical experts around the world who have made outstanding contributions to the IEC international standardization. The award is selected once per year, and is nominated by the chairman and secretary of the IEC technical committees. It is then issued after being reviewed and selected by the technical staff of the IEC Central Office. In 2019, 19 experts from China won this award, ranking the fourth in the world.
Jiabing Hu, professor, doctoral supervisor, IET Fellow, IEEE Senior Member, IEC SC8A JWG5 working group convener and WG1/AHG3 working group expert. Hehas beenlisted by Elsevier as a Highly Cited Researcher (Electrical and Electronic Engineering) in China for 3 consecutive yearsfrom 2016-2018.His research interests include dynamic analysis of power systems with large-scale wind energy and transient issues of power electronics enabled power systems.
