The second part of the Forum was presided over by Prof. Kang Chongqing who is Director of Department of Electrical Engineering, THU. Prof. Hu Jiabing of Huazhong University of Science and Technology gave a report onBasic Understandings of the Problems on Multi-scale Transient States of Power System under the Control and Protection of Electrical and Electronic Power Equipment, analyzing the enormous challenges from the high-proportional electrical and electronic power equipment permeated as the power system stability, and introducing several progresses in analysis of electrical and electronic power system stability. Prof. Xiao Jun of Tianjin University made a report on theSafety Margin of Grid-connected Power Distribution Network for High-proportion Renewable Energy Resources, introducing the theoretical and methodological system of the safety margin of power distribution network and its applications in the distribution network planning. Deputy Prof. Lu Zongxiang of Tsinghua University delivered the report onFlexibility Planning of Future Power System for High-proportional Renewable Energy Resources, believing the flexibility is a new proposition of the power system for future high-proportion renewable energy resources, and introducing the progresses of related studies from flexible mechanism, evaluation and planning. CAE Academician Xue Yusheng gave the report on theOptimization of Energy Transformation and the Initiative Supports of Power System, stating the optimizing framework of goals and paths of energy transformation under the restraints of carbon and fossil energy resources, and proposing the initiative supports of power system fully considered in the future energy system developing paths, where the energy transformation is studied in the social-physical-economical-policy-behavior framework.

Wang Zhongying, Xu Tao, Hu Jiabing, Xiao Jun and Lu Zongxiang deliver reports.

There are more than 400 participators in the Forum, including college students and teachers at home and abroad, enterprise researchers, members of research team for the National Key R&D Plan Project 1.1, and staff members of Nari Group. The participators and specially-invited experts conducted full discussion on concrete problems.
