These events include natural oscillations due to grid intrinsic proper ties\, forced oscillations due to periodical external excitations\, and su b-synchronous oscillations due to interactions between renewables and grid . With the increasing integration of renewables and the retirement of conv entional generators\, more severe and more frequent oscillation events cou ld be experienced if not sufficiently controlled. This talk will introduce GridDamper\, a field-deployment-ready technology\, to mitigate three majo r categories of oscillations and allow more renewable integration in power grids. The performance of GridDamper has been validated in four realistic large-scale power grid models with actual events through simulations and controller hardware-in-the-loop testing. Currently\, GridDamper has been d eployed at Terna for field testing. GridDamper earned the R&D 100 Awards i n 2021.\n\nBio:\nDr. Lin Zhu is currently a Senior Technical Leader at Ele ctric Power Research Institute. He was a Research Assistant Professor at T he University of Tennessee at Knoxville. He received his B.S. degree and P h.D. degree from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2005 and 2011\, respectively\, both in Electrical Engineering. His research intere sts include power system dynamics\, renewable energy integration\, smart d istribution grid\, and microgrid. He led a team and developed an adaptive power grid oscillation damping controller\, which was recognized with R&D 100 Awards in 2021.
