With the vision of designing a robust and resilient power grid with multiple renewable-energy-resources (RESs) and inverter-based-resources (IBRs), my research interests are:
(i) design of modern control techniques for grid-following (GFL) and grid-forming (GFM) IBRs,
(ii) stability analysis of microgrid with multiple RESs and IBRs,
(iii) design of advanced protection system for power system with large-penetration of IBRs,
(iv) modern controller-hardware-in-the-loop and power-hardware-in-the-loop based real-time simulation study.
