Summary
I am from Assam. Till intermediate, I was a student at Little Star School and Biswanath College. Post Intermediate, I did my Bachelor in Engineering (Electrical Engineering) from Jorhat Engineering College (Govt.), Dibrugarh University followed by Masters in Engineering (Power Systems) from Assam Engineering College (Govt.), Gauhati University. Post that, I completed my Doctorate in Power and Energy Systems from National Institute of Technology Silchar. My doctoral thesis was focused on Power System Operation and Control in Microgrid and Smart Grid with applications of Soft Computing Techniques and design of various controller. My current research interests include Electric Vehicles, IoT applications, Automatic Generation Control of power systems, Health care applications. Debdeep Saha is the member of IEEE Power and Energy Society. Besides, he is the reviewer of several international journals e.g. IET Generation Transmission, Distribution, IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, International Transactions of Electrical Energy Systems, Applied Energy Elsevier, Soft Computing Applications, AIP Publishing, etc.
