Using EMT simulation results from PSC AD/EMTDC\, the talk will explore dynamic performance\, stability considera tions\, and control strategies. Special emphasis will be placed on the app lication of these technologies in large-scale facilities such as data cent ers\, where fast transient response and voltage control are critical. The talk will also share insights from practical EMT studies and special inves tigations in real-world utility and industrial environments.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\n\nAbolfazl Babaei received his PhD in power system studies from the University of Manitoba. He is a senior member of IEEE and currently se rves as a principal engineer at RMS Energy\, where he focuses on interconn ection studies\, IBR integration\, and transient analysis. He also teaches at the University of Manitoba and the International College of Manitoba\, with over five years of experience as a power systems educator. Over the past seven years\, He has worked in Canada on a wide range of power system studies\, including detailed EMT simulations\, inverter-based resource mo deling\, and specialized technical investigations for utilities and develo pers.\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/486184 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/486184 ORGANIZER:srazanaq@uwo.ca SEQUENCE:8 SUMMARY:IEEE PES Lecture: Grid-Forming Inverters and BESS: EMT Modeling\, C ontrol Strategies\, and Application in Modern Power Systems URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/486184 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><br><img style="display: block\; margin-le ft: auto\; margin-right: auto\;" src="https://events.vtools.ieee.org/vtool s_ui/media/display/06e0bce6-c310-46f1-b63a-22d828ed4fda" alt="" width="756 " height="86"></p>\n<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span data-olk-copy-source="Mes sageBody"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt\; font-family: 'Aptos'\,sans-seri f\; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos\; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin\; mso-bidi-font-family: Aptos\; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\; mso-fareast-lang uage: EN-US\; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA\;">This session will cover the mode ling and control of inverter-based resources (IBRs)\, with a focus on grid -forming inverters and battery energy storage systems (BESS).
