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 […]

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. […]
