Personal Statement
I am interested in all aspects electrical power systems engineering; my particular area of interest coalesces around: power systems analysis, planning, operation, design, control, and stability.
I am engaged with the use of both steady-state and time domain simulation tools (both electro-magnetic transient and phasor-domain) coupled with mathematical optimisation (either deterministic or stochastic methods; cheap or expensive problems; analytic or black-box problems) to quantitatively solve power systems engineering problems.
Research Interests
- HVDC control and AC network integration
- FACTS and power electronic applications to AC transmission
- AC network dynamic compensation methods and control
- Transient stability
- Applications of mathematical programming and optimisation methods in power systems engineering
- Applications of simulation-based optimisation in power systems engineering
