Topics

• Analysis, design, and development of passive and active filters to solve power quality problems.
• Potential applications of probabilistic modeling of current and voltage harmonics in the power factor correction and harmonics mitigation techniques.
• Potential applications of different optimisation algorithms and methods for maximum energy utilization, system voltage stabilization, and loss reduction in distribution systems and automotive industries.
• Sustainable energy use and engineering sustainable supply while adapting to the demands of climate change, global population growth and the depletion of natural resources.
• Develop effective methods to improve the efficiency of small wind turbines.
• Enabling technologies for increasing the pervasion of renewable power generators in smart grids.
• Optimal allocation of Phase Measuring Units in power systems to achieve full network observability.
• Investigate the effectiveness of the HVDC link and FACTS in the grid with a view of system stability enhancement.

Research supervision

I am very interested in hearing from graduate students who would like to carry out a research project on power systems, energy & environment, smart grids and education. My key objectives are:

• To support the student to design, plan, carry out, and complete independent and original research that can be written up as a completed research thesis.
• To assist the students to regularly monitor their progress.

I have supervised on more than 30 students as first or secondary supervisor with successful progression and completion.
