Prof. Dr. Okuma MASAAKIProfessor of Dynamics design lab. Topic: A Basic Experimental Study for Weigh-in-Motion Using Motorbikes Abstract It is desired to measure the weight of vehicles, especially trucks to detect overload, moving on traffic lane with practical accuracy and reliability without making them stop. It is important from at least three viewpoints of road damage protection, traffic safety and high efficiency of monitoring. The importance will be very common in many countries. This type of vehicle weight measurement is called “Weigh-in-Motion(WIM in brief)” . The keynote speaker will mainly present a basic experimental research done by his research team for developing “Weigh-in-Motion” by means of using a miniature measurement device and three types of motorbikes as test vehicles, and will show a few other research topics. Biography In 1980’s his research effort was focused on computational methods for structural vibration analysis and experimental modal analysis. His study about relation between modal parameters and physically effective mass moved him to the researches of vibration control and optimization for multi-degrees of freedom structures. In 1990’s experimental identification methods and optimum design of structural dynamics occupied the center of his researches. Resonic GmbH (CEO: Dr.-Eng. R. Klöpper), which provides inertia measurement, is a Tokyo Tech venture company incubated in the laboratory. One of the current researches is individual components’ inertia property identification of multi-body systems without decomposition. |

Prof. Dr. Issarachai NGAMROOElectrical Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL), Bangkok, Thailand Topic: Smart renewable energy for enabling power system control services Abstract Nowadays, the penetration of renewable power sources into power systems largely increases due to clean, environmental friendly, and abundant in nature etc . Especially, the inverter-based wind and solar power sources have been paid attentions significantly. By the inverter control, wind and solar are anticipated to yield new ancillary services to power systems. This presentation focuses on the smart wind and solar for enabling power system control services. This talk starts with the global situation of wind and solar. The wind and solar installation in Thailand based on the new power development plan (PDP) 2018 is given. The motivation of smart wind and solar is provided. The integration of energy storage into the wind and solar for bidirectional power output control is explained. The challenging applications of smart wind and solar such as power system frequency control and power oscillation damping etc. are introduced. Biography Issarachai Ngamroo received the B.Eng degree in Electrical Engineering from KMITL in 1992. He continued his study by the Japanese Government Scholarship at Osaka University, where he earned his M.Eng and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering in 1997 and 2000, respectively. His research interests are in the area of smart grid, renewable energy, application of superconducting devices in power systems, power system dynamics, stability and control. He is a Senior Member of IEEE. |

Keonakhone SAYSULIANEDepartment of Digital Technology, Topic: Digital Transformation in Lao PDR Abstract Lao PDR is still in the early stages of the digital transformation; The 8th Five-Year National Socioeconomic Development Plan 2016-2020 is for Lao PDR to graduate from LDC status by 2020 and to become an upper-middle-income country by 2030. The development of a digital economy is promoted strongly by the country plan. The priorities are to increase the role of ICT to become a driving force of the socio-economic development regarding regional and international integration in order to Biography
