Senior Research Fellow
Indo-Danish collaboration for data-driven control and optimization for highly Efficient Distribution Grid (ID-EDGe): 1) Reported updates on new tests, methodologies, and their feasibility to the principal investigator in the ID-EDGe project. Managed software and equipment procurement following IIT Roorkee norms. Coordinated technical and financial progress with collaborating institutes in India and Denmark. Prepared annual progress reports, including utilization certificates and financial statements, and delivered progress seminars on objectives, budget utilization, and future tasks. 2) Developed a multi-objective scheduling scheme for converter-based distributed energy sources, like battery storage and renewable generators, to minimize operational costs and energy losses under uncertainty. Implemented in GAMS with a GUROBI solver, the approach showed significant efficiency and economic improvements on a modified 118-bus network. 3) Collaborated with the DTU Denmark team on developing a decentralized inverter control algorithm to minimize losses and enhance low-voltage ride-through capability in the distribution system. As part of this work, I modeled the IEEE 33-bus distribution system, integrated with a doubly fed induction generator and four photovoltaic generators, in an RTDS using RSCAD software. The proposed algorithm was implemented and tested on the modeled IEEE 33-bus system in RTDS.
