Projects
- Mitigating Phase Unbalance for Distribution Systems
with High Penetrations of Solar PV- Funded by U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy under Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO)
- Solving a three-phase optimal power flow problem to address the power quality issue of voltage unbalance due to growing penetrations of solar PV and other distributed energy resources (DER)
- Increasing DER hosting capacity through targeted modeling, sensing, and control
- Funded by Power Systems Engineering Research Center (PSERC)
- Identify the optimal number of sensors required to monitor important distribution grid constraints and develop a framework to evaluate the impacts of various DER controllers on distribution grid operation
