October 2021

I am extremely lucky to have recently met and exchanged ideas and research aspirations with Prof. Leandros Tassiulas, chair of Electrical Engineering (EE) at Yale.  He has honored me with an invitation to offer a seminar to the Dept. of EE and the Institute for Network Science at Yale on October 13th. I will be presenting 2 of my earlier research works on control methods to procure active power reserves from wind generators and string photovoltaic inverters. Even though these technologies typically pursue maximum use of their aerodynamic and solar potential, respectively, they must also be able to support system stability. This becomes even more critical as renewable resources slowly dominate the grid and displace conventional resources that have until recently ensured stability. I will extend my previous results into the most recent research aspirations for a grid dominated by inverter-interfaced renewables and batteries and how such aspirations may be made possible.

The seminar will be virtual, but I will make myself available to all faculty, students & researchers at Yale, who would like us to talk before/after the seminar, so, please, do not hesitate to reach out!
