PhD Proposal Review: Fault Location in Radial and Meshed Networks Containing Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) Cesar Antonio Galvez Nunez Location: Microsoft Teams Link Abstract: Rapidly increasing numbers of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) connected to transmission and distribution networks via Inverter Based Power Sources (IBPSs) introduce new challenges in detecting and locating faults. Distribution networks are […]
PhD Proposal Review: Efficient State and Parameter Estimation in Three-Phase Power Systems Ramtin Khalili Location: Microsoft Link Abstract: As the number of renewable energy sources, bulk energy storage systems, and non-conventional loads increase and connect to the power grid not only at transmission but also sub-transmission and distribution levels, three-phase unsymmetrical network monitoring becomes necessary […]
PhD Proposal Review: Nonlinear and Time-Delay Systems Analysis using Occupation Measures Jared Miller Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Techniques to analyze nonlinear systems include peak and reachable set estimation. The reachable set of a system is the set of states accessible by trajectories of a dynamical system at specified times given initial conditions. The peak estimation […]
