Work History
Postdoc Research Fellow
Centre of Urban Energy, Ryerson University
11.2023 - Current
- Investigated international standards for grid integration of distributed energy resources (DERs), including IEEE Std 1547-2018 and associated technical reports published by EPRI and NERC.
- Conducted transient modeling of sample 27.6 kV distribution system in Canada populated by distributed energy resources (DERs), including inverter-based and synchronous generator-based systems.
- Analyzed impact of high DER penetration on transient behavior of distribution systems during fault conditions using MATLAB/SIMULINK and EMTP software.
- Developed new methodology for aggregating grid-following, grid-forming, and synchronous generator-based DERs to reduce system order for electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulation.
- Created new phasor model for grid-following DERs, integrating phase-locked loop (PLL) dynamics to capture its effects on stability and power injection patterns in phasor-based simulation software.
- Developed new control scheme to prevent transient overvoltage and subsequent trips of grid-following DERs after fault clearance.
- Currently working on new control scheme to enhance PLL capability and preserve stability of grid-following inverters under weak grid conditions.
Assistant Professor
Electrical Engineering Department, BU-Ali Sina University
09.2017 - 08.2023
