Spring 2014 Alumni Learning Series - April 24

Low-Inertia Microgrids to Enable High Renewable Integration

By Sairaj Dhople, Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering

Thursday April 24, 2014 (RSVP by April 17)
11:30 am-1:00 pm

Walter Library, Room 101

117 Pleasant St. SE, Minneapolis
Box lunches will be served.

Register for the April 24 lunch

In this talk, assistant professor Dhople will describe the modeling, analysis, and control challenges in emerging low-inertia microgrids, which offer several system-level advantages such as reducing transmission and distribution losses, increasing renewable integration, and ensuring a reliable and secure power supply to critical loads in residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. Consequently, developing countries may choose to sidestep the traditional hierarchical bulk power system, in favor of agile and adaptable micro grids.

We look forward to seeing you!
