The growing complexity of modern power systems and the proliferation of inverter-based resources (IBRs) demand intelligent, adaptive, and autonomous control strategies. Traditional tuning approaches for inverter controllers often rely on linearized models, fixed assumptions, or manual parameter optimization methods that are increasingly inadequate in dynamic, data-rich grid environments. In this talk, a reinforcement learning (RL)-based... Read more →

[] The transition to a net-zero energy system requires a massive change in how electricity is produced, transported and used; the power electronic converters are the core of this paradigm-shifting, and the control techniques used on them primarily influence the power system’s dynamic behaviour. It is well documented that the power of electronic converter-based resources... Read more →

[] Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHIL) simulations combine a real-time simulator with a power amplifier to establish a closed-loop interface between a virtual environment and actual power hardware. This approach enables rigorous and comprehensive testing of the power hardware, under realistic operating conditions. PHIL provides a safe, flexible, and cost-effective alternative to traditional testing methods that may... Read more →
