WORK HISTORY
Secretary of Ieee Task Force on Power System Dynamic State and Parameter Estimation @Ieee Power & Energy Society
The widespread deployment of synchrophasor measurement units on power transmission grids has made possible the real-time monitoring and control of power system dynamics. However, these functions cannot be reliably achieved without the development of a fast and robust dynamic state estimator (DSE). Indeed, the estimated synchronous machines state variables can be used by power system stabilizers, automatic voltage regulators, and under-frequency relays to enhance small signal stability and to initiate generation outages and load shedding during transient instabilities, etc. During the 2017 Power Engineering General Meeting held at Chicago, the Working Group on State Estimation Algorithms decided to form a task force on “Power System Dynamic State and Parameter Estimation” with an objective to define its concepts, demonstrate its values for enhanced power system online monitoring and control as well as power engineering educations.
