Prof. Wangda Zuo and team members Zhanwei He and Viswanathan Ganesh attended the American Modelica Conference at UConn. Here they learned more about advanced modeling methods and model-based design. They enjoyed the insightful keynotes from Dr. Swaminathan Gopalswamy (Texas A&M) and Clas Jacobson (Carrier). This was an exciting trip as Viswanathan was awarded Penn State’s Borda Travel Scholarship to present our paper on “Advancements in Building-to-Grid Interactions: Thermo-Electric Coupling Models of Motor-driven Devices” at the conference. Our Post-Doctoral scholar Zhanwei delivered a presentation on “Efficient Simplified Models for District Energy CHP Systems”. We are happy that there was so much great work for our lab to present. Many thanks to the organizers of the conference for all their hard work in putting on an amazing experience.
