Graduate-level short course: Dynamics of low-carbon power systems
ABOUT
The Melbourne Energy Institute hosted a five-day Graduate-level short course: Dynamics of low-carbon power systems, delivered as part of the strategic collaboration between the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom and the University of Melbourne.
The online short course covered fundamental and advanced modelling of the dynamics of power systems with increasingly deeper penetration of renewable energy sources (RES) and distributed energy resources (DER), most of which are inverter-based resources (IBR) that are asynchronously connected to the grid via power electronic interfaces.
The course was led by Professor Jovica Milanović from the University of Manchester, and included presentations by:
- Dr Mehdi Ghazavi Dozein, University of Melbourne;
- Dr Ahvand Jalali, Australian Energy Market Operator;
- Mr Russell Frost, Australian Energy Market Operator;
- Mr Farhad Billimoria, University of Oxford;
- Mr Christiaan Zuur, Australian Clean Energy Council; and
- Professor Pierluigi Mancarella, Energy Systems Program Leader at the Melbourne Energy Institute.
