Ph.D. in Engineering, Professor, Doctoral Supervisor

Zhaoxia Xiao, from Tiangong University, primarily engages in research related to distributed generation systems and microgrids, as well as the planning and operational control of new distribution networks. She has led one key international scientific and technological innovation cooperation project under the National Key R&D Program: "Research on Key Technologies for Microgrid Clusters Supporting the Green Transformation of Ports." This project aims to achieve "carbon neutrality" in port power supply and promote technological progress for green power supply in ports along the "Belt and Road" countries. She has also chaired two projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China: "Research on High-Efficiency Operation Control and Stability Methods for DC Ship Microgrids under Complex Working Conditions" and "Voltage and Frequency Control and Stability Analysis of Microgrids with Multiple Types of Distributed Generation." These projects primarily focus on the control and stability of AC/DC microgrids and apply microgrid technology to ship power systems, thereby improving the operational energy efficiency of DC ships. Additionally, she has led three provincial/ministerial-level projects and over ten enterprise technological research projects. Based on the intelligentization of distribution networks, her team has developed microgrid demonstration projects, integrated wind-photovoltaic-storage-charging systems, a 60kVA energy storage converter, a three-phase interleaved DC/DC device, flexible interconnection devices for transformer districts, and supporting monitoring and energy management software. The team possesses expertise in microgrid development technology, grid-forming converter development technology, and multi-converter parallel operation technology, which can form independent technical advantages and barriers. She has published over 40 papers indexed by SCI/EI, applied for and been granted more than 10 invention patents, co-authored one monograph in the field of microgrids with Academician Wang Chengshan's research group, received multiple grants from the China Scholarship Council for collaborative research with top universities in the field, and won one Tianjin Municipal First Prize for Scientific and Technological Progress.
