There have been phenomenal changes/deployments in technology of generation driven by the worldwide emphasis on energy from wind and solar as a sustainable solution to our energy need. Increasingly energy demand f rom heating and transportation will be met by electricity. So\, to accommo date changes in either end the transmission grid is required to operate in more responsive manner. This is the most credible challenge in smart tran smission grid operation today. Some of the recent wind farm operations hav e grabbed media headlines of not being connectable to the grid. While the debate is on whether it is the wind farm or the grid is the cause\, the ba lance of the debate is shifting towards the integration and control aspect of these two technologies.\n\nThis keynote will briefly mention the recen t major problems in connecting big wind farms to the grid. It will then id entify few possible specific technical reasons supported by the general te chnical insights gathered from detailed technical study conducted at Bikas h Pal’s research group at Imperial College London. Future research chall enges and opportunities will be highlighted.\n\nSpeaker: Bikash Pal is a P rofessor of Power Systems at Imperial College London (ICL). He is research active in power system stability\, control\, and estimation. Recently he led two six university UK-China research consortium on Resilient Operation of Sustainable Energy Systems (ROSES) as part of EPSRC-NSFC Programme on Sustainable Energy Supply (2020-2023) and on Power network stability with grid scale storage (2014-2017): He also led an eight- university UK-India research consortium project (2013-2017) on smart grid stability and contro l. His research is conducted in strategic partnership with ABB\, GE Grid S olutions\, UK\, and National Grid\, UK. UK Power Networks. GE commissioned sequel of projects with him to analyse and solve wind farm HVDC grid inte raction problems (2013-2019). Prof Pal was the chief technical consultant for a panel of experts appointed by the UNFCCC CDM of the United Nations ( UN). He has offered trainings to power engineers in Chile\, Qatar\, UAE\, Malaysia and India in power system protections\, stability and control top ics. He has developed and validated a prize winning 68-bus power [system m odel](http://www.sel.eesc.usp.br/ieee/NETS68/New_England_New_York_68_Bus_S ystem_study_report.pdf)\, 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 Transactio ns on Sustainable Energy (2012-2017) and Editor-in-Chief of IET Generation \, Transmission and Distribution (2005-2012). He was Vice President\, PES Publications (2019-23). In 2016\, his research team won the President’s outstanding research team award at Imperial College London (ICL). He is Fe llow of IEEE for his contribution to power system stability and control an d Fellow of The Royal Academy of Engineering\, UK. He is an IEEE Distingui shed Lecturer in Power distribution system estimation and control. He won the 2025 IEEE PES Prabha Kundur Award for his contribution to Robust Contr ol and Estimation of Power Systems. He has published about 135 papers in I EEE Transactions and authored four books in power system modelling\, dynam ics\, estimations and control. Two of his papers in power system stability and control topics have received annual best journal paper award. He was Otto Monsted Professor at Denmark Technical University (DTU) (2019) and Me rcator Professor sponsored by German Research Foundation (DFG) at Universi ty of Duisburg-Essen in 2011. He worked as faculty at IIT Kanpur\, India. He holds a distinguished Visiting Professorship at the North China Electri c Power University and Tsinghua University\, China.\n\nSpeaker(s): Bikash\ n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/497582 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/497582 ORGANIZER:ehsan.pashajavid@curtin.edu.au SEQUENCE:22 SUMMARY:IEEE PES/PELS Western Australia Chapter: DLP-1 URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/497582 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="fon t-size: 12.0pt\; color: black\;">Online Event</span></strong></p>\n<p clas s="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black\;">&nbsp\;</span></p>\n<p class="M soNormal"><span style="color: black\; mso-ligatures: none\; mso-no-proof: yes\;"><!-- [if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75" coordsize="21600\, 21600"\n o:spt="75" o:preferrelative="t" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" fil led="f"\n stroked="f">\n <v:stroke joinstyle="miter"/>\n <v:formulas>\n < v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"/>\n <v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"/>\n <v :f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"/>\n <v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"/>\n <v:f eqn="prod @3 216 00 pixelWidth"/>\n <v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"/>\n <v:f eqn="su m @0 0 1"/>\n <v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"/>\n <v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWi dth"/>\n <v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"/>\n <v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeig ht"/>\n <v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"/>\n </v:formulas>\n <v:path o:extrusio nok="f" gradientshapeok="t" o:connecttype="rect"/>\n <o:lock v:ext="edit" aspectratio="t"/>\n</v:shapetype><v:shape id="Picture_x0020_1" o:spid="_x0 000_i1025" type="#_x0000_t75"\n style='width:579pt\;height:68.25pt\;visibi lity:visible\;mso-wrap-style:square'>\n <v:imagedata src="file:///C:/Users /263783K/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.jpg"\n o:title= ""/>\n</v:shape><![endif]--><!-- [if !vml]--><img src="https://events.vtoo ls.ieee.org/vtools_ui/media/display/c331e705-d699-48e2-bab5-fc260c2a3b3c" width="772" height="91"><!--[endif]--></span></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal"><s pan style="color: black\;">&nbsp\;</span></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black\;">&nbsp\;</span></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal"><span styl e="color: black\;">IEEE PES Distinguished Lecturer Program (DLP)</span></p >\n<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black\;">&nbsp\;</span></p>\n< p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-size: 16.0pt\; color: black\ ;">Dynamic Modelling for Analysis of Wind Farm and Grid Interaction</span> </strong></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black\;">&nbsp\;</ span></p>\n<p style="text-align: justify\;"><strong><span style="font-fami ly: 'Aptos'\,sans-serif\; mso-bidi-font-family: Aptos\;">Abstract:</span>< /strong> Electrical generation\, transmission and distribution systems all over the world have entered a period of significant renewal and technolog ical change.
