Abstract Two related electric safety topics will be covered in the presentation. (1) A ground grid is required for substations to carry and dissipate current into earth under normal and faulty conditions for safety purposes. In the Ground Grid Design presentation, the common concepts, basic requirements, calculation methods, and procedure […]

Abstract Small island grids in developing countries are faced with balancing priorities between maintaining energy security, reliability, affordability, and sustainability. As developing nations transition towards a decarbonised generation mix, it is important to appropriately balance all these aspects in power system development. The presentation will aim to address some technical considerations […]
IEEE PES Webinar: Challenges Posed by the Oversupply of Inverter-Based Resources and Hybrid AC/DC Transmission in the Brazilian Interconnected Power System (11/24 at 11 AM)

Abstract Widely recognized as a hydroelectric powerhouse, Brazil has historically relied on hydropower to supply more than 90% of its annual electricity demand. In recent years, however, this dominance has declined with the rapid expansion of wind and solar generation. A significant portion of the new solar capacity comes from […]
[Rescheduled] IEEE PES Webinar: Tune Inverter Control Gains using Reinforcement Learning (Dec. 1st, 2025 at 2 PM PDT)

Abstract The growing complexity of modern power systems and the proliferation of inverter-based resources (IBRs) demand intelligent, adaptive, and autonomous control strategies. Traditional tuning approaches for inverter controllers often rely on linearized models, fixed assumptions, or manual parameter optimization methods that are increasingly inadequate in dynamic, data-rich grid environments. In this talk, a reinforcement […]

Recorded Video Link: https://youtu.be/1gHzuEuQLYU Abstract Before the advent of synthetic electric grids, public test cases for electric transmission grids were limited to the IEEE test cases and similar datasets. While these have served the community well, they do not match the size, complexity, or structure of today’s bulk electric grids. […]
