معرفی
Meng Wu is an Assistant Professor in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering (ECEE) at Arizona State University, specializing in advanced optimization, control, and machine learning methods for integrating distributed energy resources (DERs) into power systems. Her work addresses critical challenges in power system planning, operations, stability, and electricity markets under high DER penetration.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Texas A&M University, 2017
- M.Eng. in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Cornell University, 2011
- B.Eng. in Electrical Engineering & Automation, Tianjin University, China, 2010
Research Interests: Dr. Wu's research focuses on DER integration through transmission-distribution coordination, spatio-temporal price forecasting, and optimal market participation strategies. Key areas include:
- Physics-guided machine learning for DER-penetrated distribution systems
- Computational algorithms for wholesale-distribution market coordination
- Dynamic modeling of DERs and composite loads for voltage stability
- Optimal bidding strategies for energy storage and DER aggregators
Publication Trends: Her 2021-2024 publications reveal a concentrated effort on DER market integration using parametric programming and deep learning, with emphasis on real-time locational marginal price forecasting, transmission-distribution coordination, and degradation-aware energy storage operations.
Scientific Awards:
- Best Paper Award, IEEE PES General Meeting (2021)
- Best Conference Paper Award, North American Power Symposium (2019)
- Invited Participant, US Frontiers of Engineering Symposium, NAE (2021)
Advising and Grants: Dr. Wu mentors multiple PhD and Master's students, including recent graduates Zhongxia Zhang (PhD) and Sayyid Mohssen Sajjadi (MS). Her group secured PSERC funding for projects on DER aggregation and adaptive transmission-distribution modeling, with industry partnerships at ISO New England and Quanta Technology.
Research Group: Leading an active research team at ASU, she collaborates with the Power Systems Engineering Research Center (PSERC) on DER integration challenges, advising students through FURI, MORE, and Barrett Honors College programs.
