Demand and consumption for electrical energy are continuously increasing. To meet this demand, new energy sources are being harnessed, and the capacities of existing production facilities are being enhanced. Despite supply chain challenges, construction delays, and high raw material prices, between 500 and 550 GW of new renewable energy capacity was achieved globally in 2024. It is projected that ...Show More
Electromagnetic transient (EMT) inverter modeling for the study of converter/grid interactions is crucial for modern systems integrating distributed generation, electric vehicles, and microgrids. However, detailed inverter topologies are unavailable in many practical cases, precluding the implementation of analytical models. This paper presents a method for inverter model reconstruction from EMT t...Show More
The increasing deployment of distributed energy resources (DER) over the last decade is a great ally to combat climate change and strengthen the grid during increasingly common extreme weather events. However, DER systems, combined with the ongoing transition to a digital power grid, also pose substantial cybersecurity threats. One of the most common communication protocols used in DER integration...Show More
Geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) have the potential to be highly disruptive to regular power grid operations. Despite the study of geomagnetic disturbances (GMDs) since the 1940s, comprehensive methods for accurate and precise analysis of their impact, especially in individual grid components, remain limited. This paper describes a method based on the synergistic use of different computatio...Show More
This paper introduces a dynamic cosimulation approach to evaluate the effect of the selection of magnetic core material in toroidal inductors for DC-DC converters under varying load conditions.

Accurate calculation of transient overvoltages and dielectric stresses from fast-front excitations is required to obtain an optimal dielectric design of power components subjected to these conditions, which are commonly due to switching and lightning, as well as utilization of power-electronic devices. Toroidal transformers are generally used at the low voltage level. However, recent investigation...Show More
Methods based on both time (t)-domain and frequency (f)-domain have been used for electromagnetic transient (EMT) analysis using both circuit-theory and field-theory approaches. Methods based on circuit theory are fast and convenient but may become inapplicable to many engineering problems due to simplifications such as the transverse electromagnetic assumptions. Moreover, t-domain-based technique...Show More
This paper introduces a Laplace-based modeling approach for the study of transient converter-grid interactions.

The application of a frequency domain method is aimed at the accurate and straightforward computation of transient sy...Show More
With confidentiality constraints of detailed control information of inverter-based resources (IBR), black-box models, e.g., admittance/impedance models, obtained from measurements are often used for stability analysis. This paper makes a further inquiry: If stability analysis is possible with admittance models, is it possible to produce time-domain simulation results with admittance models only? O...Show More
This paper introduces a parameter estimation method for single-phase overhead lines with frequency dependent electrical parameters. The proposed method is based on an analytical approach to solve the frequency domain 2-port nodal model for the series impedance and shunt conductance of the line per unit length as a function of the frequency. Terminal voltage and current measurements, obtained from ...Show More
Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) systems are being considered as complementary sources for peak shaving and load levelling on traditional power grids.
