Professor Qiteng Hong, Co-Investigator of the ENSIGN project, has been awarded an Royal Society International Exchange Grant jointly funded by the Royal Society and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC). The grant will support a new collaborative research programme with Professor Bin Wang of Tsinghua University, one of China’s leading experts in power systems operation and protection.
This exchange grant will enable Professors Hong and Wang to jointly address critical challenges in the operation and protection of future decarbonised distribution networks. The collaboration will be delivered through a structured programme of reciprocal visits and joint research activities over the next two years, including the exchange of early-career researchers and doctoral students, as well as workshops, seminars, and joint publications to enable future collaboration and disseminate findings to the wider scientific community and industry stakeholders.
