Dynamic Estimation and Control of Power Systems

Dr. Abhinav K. Singh received B.Tech. degree from the Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi, India, and the Ph.D. degree from Imperial College London (ICL), U.K., in Aug. 2010 and Jan. 2015, respectively, all in electrical engineering. Currently, he is working as a Research Associate at ICL and research active in electric power generation and transmission. Dr. Singh specializes in estimation and control of small signal oscillatory dynamics in power systems. His other research interests include application of signal processing and communication networks in power systems. His research has produced six papers in IEEE Transactions (the topmost journals of power and control). His PhD research on ‘Decentralized Estimation and Control for Power Systems’ won the EPSRC Doctoral Prize Fellowship in January 2015. He has also received IEEE PES Working Group Recognition Award for Benchmark Systems for Stability Controls Task Force for the development and validation of a 68-bus power system model. This model now forms a part of IEEE Benchmark Systems and serves as a standard for researchers to validate their innovations in stability analysis and control design. Dr. Singh is also actively collaborating with industrial partners like National Grid UK, ESB Ireland, ABB Switzerland and SecuControl Germany for industrial translation and adoption of his research.

Prof. Bikash C. Pal completed his B.Eng (1990) from Jadavpur University, M.Eng (1992) from The Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and PhD (1999) from Imperial College London. He is a professor of power systems at Imperial College London. He is research active in stability, control and computation of power systems with renewable energy. His research in power transmission control are conducted in strategic partnership with ABB and National Grid UK. His research in distribution network control and computation was supported by UK Power Networks (UKPN) and Scottish & Southern Electric (SSE) UK. He leads an eight-university UK-India research consortium on Smart Grid and Storage and a six-university UK-China research consortium in Smart Grid and Control.
