Modeling and Optimization of a Micro-Grid: Huatacondo, Isolated Village in Northern Chile Dr. Doris Sáez Department of Electrical Engineering University of Chile With a low population density and many natural resources, Chile's electricity supply shortage is a paradox. The Atacama Desert, Andes Mountains, long coastline and strong agriculture provide the country with abundant distributed renewable energy resources that could, according to recent estimations, largely surpass the fast-growing electricity demand.

On Tuesday, May 15th 2012, Professor Guillaume Wantz from Bordeaux Institute of Technology, France, will deliver a lecture titled "Organic Photovoltaic Research at Bordeaux University: A Focus on Advanced Materials for Efficient and Stable Solar Cells". This lecture is free and open to the public!

On Friday, May 18th 2012, Professor Kien Wen Sun from National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan, will deliver a lecture titled "Applications of Nanotechnology on Solar Energy Harvesting". This lecture is free and open to the public!
