Prof. Yusheng Xue 

China Electric Power Research Institute, China

Yusheng Xue, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and Honorary Director of the China Electric Power Research Institute, is an expert in stability theory and power system automation. He invented the EEAC theory, which resolved the long-standing global challenge of transient stability quantitative analysis in power systems; to date, it remains the only theoretically proven method internationally that has been successfully applied in engineering practice. He developed the large-scale power grid blackout defense system (WARMAP), which is implemented in 90% of provincial-level and above power grids in China. He proposed the CPSSE framework and an integrated solution for proactive support of energy transition in power systems, providing decision-making support for national, regional, and energy enterprises’ clean transition efforts. He also introduced the Whole Restoration Theory (WRT), continuously exploring the holistic spatiotemporal mechanisms behind complex model emergent phenomena. Dr. Xue has received numerous honors, including the National Science Congress Award, one First Prize and three Second Prizes of the State Scientific and Technological Progress Award, two Second Prizes of the State Technological Invention Award, as well as titles such as National Model Worker and the First Jiangsu Province Outstanding Scientific and Technological Contribution Award.
