ABOUT DIPTARGHA CHAKRAVORTY

Dr Diptargha Chakravorty has over 10 years of experience in the field of power system analysis, including a 4-year PhD on the impact of demand response on system stability from Imperial College London. His core expertise includes power system stability analysis including dynamic, electromagnetic transient (EMT), and small-signal analysis. He has been involved in several innovation projects as a technical lead such as the Probabilistic Stability Assessment NIA project which is focusing on developing advanced system planning tools for the UK System Operator NGESO using cutting edge machine learning and statistical methods. He has been involved in the flagship NIC project ‘Distributed Restart’ as a technical specialist developing restoration strategies for Black Start from Distributed Energy Resources. He is highly skilled in several power systems analysis tools like DIgSILENT, PSS/e, PSCAD, Matlab/Simulink and IPSA including automating power system studies using different programming languages. Diptargha also has experience in teaching and mentoring and delivering bespoke power system training courses. He has good communication skills and enjoys multi-tasking. He is a visiting researcher at the Control and Power group of Imperial College London and working on joint proposals for European Union research funding grants. He is a member of the Cigre C2/C4.41 and B4.92 working groups on the impact of high penetration of inverter-based generation on system inertia and STATCOM operation in distribution networks, respectively. He is actively involved in reviewing transaction papers and Elsevier journals.Key Experience: • Power electronics converter control and design in DIgSILENT and Matlab • Power system modelling and small signal stability analysis• Dynamic and Transient network analysis in DIgSILENT and PSCAD• Subsynchronous Resonance (SSR) analysis• Subsynchronous Oscillations and control interaction studies • Distributed voltage and frequency regulation studies• Harmonic penetration and harmonic impedance analysis• Proficient with power systems analysis tools like DIgSILENT, PSCAD, IPSA, PSSe and Matlab/Simulink. • Automating power system studies using inbuilt programming languages like DIgSILENT Programming Language (DPL), DIgSILENT Simulation Language (DSL), Matlab, Python. • Developing Python-based bespoke tools for various clients • Experience in teaching and mentoring • High capacity for multitasking and excellent communications skills • Working with Oracle database and SQL
