Wh ile the rapid control and fast electronic switching available with this te chnology offer flexibility in network operation\, the dynamic interactions between several of them threaten the operational stability of the transmi ssion grid is a concern. It is required to develop a methodology for ident ifying the risks associated with the stability and control interaction bef ore a new power electronic device (e.g. Windfarm\, interconnector\, STATCO M) is introduced to the network.\n\nThe talk will focus on an analytical f ramework in impedance domain to quantify the interaction between the new p lant and the rest of the network for setting additional grid connection st udy specifications which will include detail technical study to check and mitigate the risks associated with new power electronics interfaced genera tion. The framework developed is to support MMC technology\, control delay \, system strength and FRT capability of dynamic voltage support devices a nd windfarm through technical case study conducted at the research group o f Bikash Pal at Imperial College London. Future research challenges and op portunities will be highlighted.\n\nBio:\n\nBikash Pal is a Professor of P ower Systems at Imperial College London (ICL). He is research active in po wer system stability\, control\, and estimation. Currently he is leading a six university UK-China research consortium on Resilient Operation of Sus tainable Energy Systems (ROSES) as part of EPSRC-NSFC Programme on Sustain able Energy Supply. He led UK-China research consortium project on Power n etwork stability with grid scale storage (2014-2017): His research is cond ucted in strategic partnership with ABB\, SIEMENS\, GE Grid Solutions\, UK \, and National Grid\, UK. UK Power Networks. SIEMENS R&D collaborated wit h him to develop fast power flow and volt-var control tools in Spectrum Po wer\, an advanced module for distribution management system solution from SIEMENS. This is now commissioned in distribution control centres in Colum bia\, Bosnia Norway and Azerbaijan serving 15 million customers in these c ountries. GE commissioned sequel of projects with him to analyse and solve wind farm HVDC grid interaction problems (2013-2019). Prof Pal was the ch ief technical consultant for a panel of experts appointed by the UNFCCC CD M (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Clean Development Mechanism). He has offered trainings in Chile\, Qatar\, UAE\, Malaysia an d India in power system protections\, stability and control topics. He has developed and validated a prize winning 68-bus power system model\, which now forms a part of IEEE Benchmark Systems as a standard for researchers to validate their innovations in stability analysis and control design. He was the Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy (2012- 2017) and Editor-in-Chief of IET Generation\, Transmission and Distributio n (2005-2012). He is Vice President\, PES Publications (2019-2023). In 201 6\, his research team won the President’s outstanding research team awar d at Imperial College London (ICL). He is Fellow of IEEE for his contribut ion to power system stability and control. He is Fellow of The Royal Acade my of engineering\, UK for the impact of his contribution to the field. He is an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer in Power distribution system estimation and control. He has published about 125 papers in IEEE Transactions and a uthored four books in power system modelling\, dynamics\, estimations and control. He was Otto Monsted Professor at Denmark Technical University (DT U) (2019) and Mercator Professor sponsored by German Research Foundation ( DFG) at University of Duisburg-Essen in 2011.\n\nThis event is organised b y IEEE PES UK&I Chapter and co-organised by all student branch PES chapter s locally. The online link will be sent to registrants before the event.\n \nLooking forward to seeing you there!\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.i eee.org/m/486073 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/486073 ORGANIZER:cxw924@student.bham.ac.uk SEQUENCE:26 SUMMARY:IEEE PES DLP Lecture: Stability Modelling and Analysis of Converter Driven Power System URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/486073 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><div class="x_elementToProof" data-ogsc="rgb( 0\, 0\, 0)" data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody"><img style="display: block\ ; margin-left: auto\; margin-right: auto\;" src="https://events.vtools.iee e.org/vtools_ui/media/display/1a486f86-fb70-44ab-ad8f-bad26fb14dcf" width= "724" height="366"></div>\n<div class="x_elementToProof" data-ogsc="rgb(0\ , 0\, 0)">&nbsp\;</div>\n<div class="x_elementToProof" data-ogsc="rgb(0\, 0\, 0)">We are delighted to invite the&nbsp\;<a id="OWA9428fa39-fd80-06e3- a693-c57166bb1ccc" class="x_OWAAutoLink" title="https://ieee-pes.org/news/ 2025-election-ieee-pes-officers/" href="https://ieee-pes.org/news/2025-ele ction-ieee-pes-officers/" data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="0" dat a-ogsc="">IEEE PES President-Elect 2025</a> candidate\, Professor Bikash P al\, to give an online Distinguished Lecture Programme Talk\, on "Stabilit y Modelling and Analysis of Converter Driven Power System" from 16:00-17:0 0 BST on 27th May.&nbsp\;</div>\n<div class="x_elementToProof" data-ogsc=" rgb(0\, 0\, 0)">&nbsp\;</div>\n<div data-ogsc="rgb(0\, 0\, 0)"><strong>Abs tract:</strong></div>\n<p style="text-align: justify\;" data-ogsc="rgb(0\, 0\, 0)">The number of power electronics converters connected to electrica l networks has been growing exponentially as they are part of all new gene ration connected to the grid.
