Prof. Bikash Pal Professor of Power Systems at Imperial College London Abstract The talk will focus on an analytical framework in impedance domain to quantify the interaction between the new plant and the rest of the network for setting additional grid connection study specifications which will include detail technical study to check and mitigate the risks associated with new power electronics interfaced generation. The framework developed is to support MMC technology, control delay, system strength and FRT capability of dynamic voltage support devices and windfarm through technical case study conducted at the research group of Bikash Pal at Imperial College London. Future research challenges and opportunities will be highlighted. Short bio Bikash Pal is a Professor of Power Systems at Imperial College London (ICL). He is research active in power system stability, control, and estimation. Currently he is leading a six university UK-China research consortium on Resilient Operation of Sustainable Energy Systems (ROSES) as part of EPSRC-NSFC Programme on Sustainable Energy Supply. He led UK-China research consortium project on Power network stability with grid scale storage (2014-2017): His research is conducted in strategic partnership with ABB, SIEMENS, GE Grid Solutions, UK, and National Grid, UK. UK Power Networks. SIEMENS R&D collaborated with him to develop fast power flow and volt-var control tools in (https://new.siemens.com/global/en/products/energy/energy-automation-and-smart-grid/grid-control/advanced-distribution-management.html), an advanced module for distribution management system solution from SIEMENS. This is now commissioned in distribution control centres in Columbia, Bosnia Norway and Azerbaijan serving 15 million customers in these countries. He commissioned sequel of projects with him to analyse and solve wind farm HVDC grid interaction problems (2013-2019). Prof Pal was the chief technical consultant for a panel of experts appointed by the UNFCCC CDM (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Clean Development Mechanism). He has offered trainings in Chile, Qatar, UAE, Malaysia and India in power system protections, stability and control topics. He has developed and validated a prize winning 68-bus power (http://www.sel.eesc.usp.br/ieee/NETS68/New_England_New_York_68_Bus_System_study_report.pdf), which now forms a part of IEEE Benchmark Systems as a standard for researchers to validate their innovations in stability analysis and control design. He was the Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy (2012-2017) and Editor-in-Chief of IET Generation, Transmission and Distribution (2005-2012). He is Vice President, PES Publications (2019-2023). In 2016, his research team won the President’s outstanding research team award at Imperial College London (ICL). He is Fellow of IEEE for his contribution to power system stability and control. He is Fellow of The Royal Academy of engineering, UK for the impact of his contribution to the field. He is an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer in Power distribution system estimation and control. He has published about 125 papers in IEEE Transactions and authored four books in power system modelling, dynamics, estimations and control. He was Otto Monsted Professor at Denmark Technical University (DTU) (2019) and Mercator Professor sponsored by German Research Foundation (DFG) at University of Duisburg-Essen in 2011.

Aprovechando una visita del Prof. Fernando Auat-Cheein (Harper Adams University, Inglaterra) a Chile, nos presentará sobre su investigación. El profesor Auat ha estado involucrado en proyectos de robótica aplicada a la agricultura. En particular, ha trabajado en robots no tripulados para olivares y otros cultivos. Sus intereses de investigación también incluyen SLAM autónomo y planificación de trayectorias. Short bio: Fernando Auat Cheein is currently a Full Professor at Harper Adams University, England, also Honoris Visiting Professor at Heriot-Watt University, Scotland, and Full Professor (on leave) at Federico Santa Maria Technical University. Fernando is currently shaping the Harper Institute of Technology, a research centre focused in providing cutting edge solutions to the West Midlands farming needs. Fernando is one of the co-founders of the AC3E (ANID Basal), has hold several Fondecyt and other ANID grants, and authored more than 110 journal articles. His graduates are currently academics or scientists at Carnegie Mellon University, Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, UC Davis, University of Lincoln, and others. Fernando is an active editor, being part of the editorial board of Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, Biosystems Engineering, Robotica-Cambridge, Journal of Field Robotics, IEEE OJ on Intelligent Transportation Systems and IEEE Transactions on Mechatronics. Although his primary research focus is robotic systems, Fernando is currently focusing his research efforts on remote sensing for sustainability purposes. Fernando is also IEEE Senior Member and in 2024 was included in the Top 2% of scientists according to the Stanford University ranking.
