Stability Modelling and Analysis of Converter Driven Power System
The number of power electronics converters connected to electrical networks has been growing exponentially as they are part of all new
generation connected to the grid. While the rapid control and fast electronic switching available with this technology offer flexibility in
network operation, the dynamic interactions between several them threaten the operational stability of the transmission grid. It is required
to develop a methodology for identifying the risks associated with the stability and control interaction before a new power electronic
device is introduced to the network. The talk will focus on analytical framework in impedance domain to quantify the interaction between
the new plant and the rest of the network for setting additional grid connection study specifications including risks associated with new
power electronics interfaced generation. Future research challenges and opportunities will be discussed.

Biography:
Prof. Bikash Pal, Fellow of IEEE and the Royal Academy of Engineering (UK), is a Professor of Power Systems at Imperial College,
London. He is a globally renowned expert in power system stability, control and estimation. He has led international research consortia
with UK-China and UK-India collaborations on smart grids and renewable energy integration. He has closely worked with renowned
industries like ABB, GE Grid Solutions, and UK National Grid and has advised the United Nations (UNFCCC CDM) on various
technical matters. He has developed a prize winning 68-bus power system model, which now forms a part of IEEE Benchmark Systems
as a standard for researchers working on power system stability and control. Prof. Pal has been the Vice President of IEEE PES
Publications during 2019–2023 and Editor-in-Chief of both IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy (2012-2017) and IET Generation,
Transmission and Distribution (2005-2012). He is also an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer in Power distribution system estimation and
control. He has authored more than 135 IEEE papers and four books and held prestigious visiting professorships at DTU Denmark,
University of Duisburg-Essen (Germany), and Tsinghua University, China. Two of his papers have received annual best journal paper
award.
