Renewable Energies for Power Systems
A central aspect of the group's research is addressing the new stability challenges that arise as renewable penetration increases. This includes the development of intelligent control strategies, virtual inertia concepts, and resilient power electronics solutions that ensure flexibility, reliability, and secure operation of next-generation power systems.
In addition to academic excellence, the group actively collaborates with industry partners and participates in national and international projects, driving innovation and supporting the transition toward sustainable, carbon-neutral energy systems. Through its multidisciplinary activities, RE4PS plays a significant role in shaping the technological foundations of future clean energy networks.
Integrating higher shares of renewable energy sources e.g., wind and solar PV, into the electrical network is crucial factor for decarbonizing the energy sector while continuing to meet growing demand for electricity. Thanks for the drastic reduction in costs and supportive policies, share of renewable energy sources expanded significantly in recent years. However, the inherent variability of these sources increases different challenges for operation of power grids.
In the Renewable Energies for Power Systems group, researches are carrying out on operation and control of power electronics in power systems, integration of renewable energy sources into the power grids (strong, weak, micro, hybrid,...), microgrid operation and control, and stability analysis of power grids under high penetration of renewable energies.
The group is led by Associate Professor Edris Pouresmaeil.
