Educational Contributions

 

Developed graduate level curriculum for the electric power systems at M.I.T., EECS Department.

Developed  three permanent courses in EECS, M.I.T. in the area of electric power systems.

Significant contributions to theses supervision in the area of electric power systems at M.I.T. over

            the past 15 years.

Served as an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer.

Taught a new subject under course #18-879 at Carnegie Mellon University, “Special Topics in Systems and Control:  Large-Scale Dynamic Systems Revisited.  This course is to become a permanent ECE course, #18-777 in the Fall of 2004.

Co-authored paper entitled, “Introducing Electric Power into a Multidisciplinary Curriculum for Network Industries,” to be published in the IEEE Tran. On Power Systems, Special Issue on Education, May 2004.  The relevance of this paper is that it defines a vision for the CMU INI/Master Program in this subject area.  Preparations are underway to start this Program in the Fall of 2005.

Committee work:  Undergraduate Advising Committee (ECE), Graduate Committee (EPP), Ad Hoc Promotion Committee, at Carnegie Mellon University (2003-2004).

Notable paper: This paper for the first  time formulates the reactive power voltage problem as a nonlinear DC network problem and establishes conditions under which this network has monotonic response. The particular challenge comes from defining the regions where this property holds (the network has both positive and negative resistors, which requires tools beyond diagonal dominance conditions). As in other electric networks, this property is extremely useful when making the localized response argument.

Notable paper: This paper introduces for the first time feedback linearizing control design for primary controllers of generators in a complex power system. An entirely decentralized implementation of this approach is developed; it is based on combining the idea of so-called Observation Decoupled State Space (ODSS) for regulating the set point value of the controller with the feedback linearizing design for primary control logic.
