Seminar at Yale on Inverter Control for Grids Rich in Renewables

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!

11th IET International Renewable Power Generation Conference, 2022

Last Updated December 2021 (originally published August 2021)

Call for Papers (deadline Jan. 28t, 2022) – 2022 IET RPG Conference, London, UK

Initiatives, policy proposals, legislation and cheap capital have been defining the framework of a broad and accelerating shift towards cleaner infrastructure and processes in all sectors and aspects of society. The race to zero carbon emissions is on and organizations and consortia all around the world are bringing together experts, scholars, thought leaders and industry stakeholders to exchange views and inform each other about the what, how and when of new methods, new materials and new ideas. For the electricity sector, the shift to a future of generating fleets comprising almost exclusively of renewable energy sources (RES) is undoubted and brings about engineering challenges and policy hurdles.

The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) has one of the longest living journals about RES, titled Renewable Power Generation (RPG), first indexed in 2007. IET also holds a similarly named and themed conference. In its 11th instalment, the IET RPG conference seeks to answer the call to meet Net Zero Carbon future and invites all stakeholders to contribute with papers on how RES and the electricity sector as a whole can serve the most of their part towards this future.

The technical scope of the 11th IET RPG, 2022 includes:

  • Wind technology
  • PV systems technology
  • Grid integration, technologies, compliance and assessments
  • Other renewable energy sources
  • Battery and energy storage systems

You may submit your one A4 page long abstracts here by January 28th 2022https://app.oxfordabstracts.com/stages/2960/submitter All accepted and presented papers will be indexed in IET Inspec, IEEE Explore Digital Library and EI Compendex.
