What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply utility operations, grid digitalization, and AI decision-governance experience to reliable energy-transition solutions, including distributed resource coordination, EMS improvement, flexibility planning, and operationally grounded digital transformation.

I've delivered grid reliability, digitalization, and applied AI work across State Grid Corporation of China and national-level digital energy demonstration projects. My work translates operational-risk, flexibility, and reliability objectives into practical solutions for distributed resources, EMS platforms, and dispatch decisions.

At North China Electric Power University, I developed distributed energy aggregation and risk-bounded AI coordination approaches for a national VPP pilot proposal. My research simulations reduced reserve scheduling costs by approximately 17% while maintaining secure operating margins.

Across nine-plus years with SGCC, I assessed renewable integration, flexibility needs, and N-1 operating constraints; integrated grid-connected assets into EMS; and developed a D5000 state-estimation support module that remains in stable operation. I also trained multi-site dispatch teams on dispatch automation workflows, supporting a provincial rollout ranked first in assessment.
