I'm excited to share that our paper, "Planning for Electric Vehicle Evacuations: Energy, Infrastructure, and Storage Needs," has been accepted for an oral presentation at the 2024 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (IEEE VPPC 2024) in Washington, DC, USA, from October 7-10, 2024. With the rapid increase in electric vehicle (EV) adoption, addressing their power needs during disaster evacuations is crucial, especially when the grid fails. Our paper offers a comprehensive analysis of EV energy requirements during evacuations using a pragmatic stochastic methodology. It evaluates the power needs of charging infrastructure across various evacuation scenarios and benchmarks them against existing infrastructure in several California cities. Moreover, the paper explores the necessary size of backup lithium battery storage to ensure EVs are adequately powered during evacuations without grid support. I want to thank Prof. Ricardo de Castro for his insightful analyses in developing the pragmatic stochastic methodology and his invaluable contributions to this paper. I also want to thank my Ph.D. advisor, Prof. Sarah Kurtz, for her persistent support and guidance throughout this project. #Electric_vehicles #Energy_storage #lithium_batteries #charging_infrastructure #renewables https://lnkd.in/gMZXyxnF

In this year's IEEE PES General Meeting, my PhD student, Yuxin Deng, presented his first conference paper on integrated hybrid power plant (HPP) modeling. This framework can guide HPP operation not only to inform the HPP owners about the potential economic benefits of different HPP control strategies but also to help grid operators maintain frequency stability with HPP efficiently. Check out this paper if you are interested. All code and testing systems are open access. https://lnkd.in/grtPfb45

Modern power systems require to design new power converter solutions. Large HVDC Modular Multilevel Converters (MMC) can be expanded to provide multiport functionality by adding a MVDC output. This is required in some specific applications and adds one dimension to the so-called capability curve of the converter. In CITCEA-UPC Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya Escola Tècnica Superior d'Enginyeria Industrial de Barcelona (ETSEIB - UPC), we have worked on the definition of multi-dimensional "capability domains" associated to multiport converters and we have studied how to define those domains considering the converter limitations in detailed steady-state analysis (validated with time domain simulations). This work has been compiled in the paper "Power capability domain analysis for M2DC-based AC/DC/DC multi-port converter" led by Daniele Falchi from CITCEA-UPC Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya and is available in IEEE Trans Power Delivery https://lnkd.in/dsyE325E . The paper has been coauthored by Eduardo Prieto Araujo and myself. We acknowledge the support from Réseau de Transport d'Électricité and the support from xavier BOURGEAT and Olivier Despouys.

If you are attending the 9th IEEE Workshop on the Electronic Grid (https://lnkd.in/gmc83pZE), please consider interacting with my students who will present two posters deriving from the following eGrid papers: -- 1. Real-Time Simulation of Microgrids with Fast-Charging Stations and Grid-Forming Inverters (ID: 31, Luis E. Guillén Montenegro) 2. Impacts of Grid-Forming IBRs with Time-Duration Ratings on Quadrilateral Ground Protection (ID: 33, Christopher Peralta, Hoang Phuong Dang) -- These are timely, exciting, and challenging topics to discuss about.

During my master's degree, I delved into the fascinating world of Multiphase Superconducting Machines. This research culminated in a paper comparing four Multiphase Superconducting Generator topologies for Wind Power Plants. Our findings were remarkable: 🔹 A 13-phase machine demonstrated a 34% improvement in torque density compared to a traditional 3-phase machine. 🔹 We achieved a theoretical torque density of 101 Nm/kg - a significant leap forward in the field. Recently, I came across an intriguing DOE research article titled "Double-Rotor Flux Switching Machine with HTS Field Coils and Superconducting Shields for Aircraft Propulsion". Their results are equally impressive: 🔹 They report achieving a torque density of 192 Nm/kg (100 kW/kg for 5000 RPM). This discovery has sparked my curiosity: What potential improvements could we see by applying multiphase topologies to these Double-Rotor Flux Switching Machines with HTS Field Coils? How might this impact not only wind power generation but also aircraft propulsion? I'm eager to explore this further and would love to hear thoughts from fellow researchers and industry professionals.

📢 New Research Alert! 🌟 I'm excited to share my latest study on induced voltages in underground transmission cable sheaths, now available in IEEEXplore! In this work, we applied a generalized formula for calculating induced voltages, incorporating internal and earth-return impedance based on the advanced electromagnetic field solution. 🔍 What we analyzed: We compared the results obtained using mathematical formulations from IEEE 575 and CIGRE 283 standards under steady-state conditions. The study focuses on triangular and flat formations of three-phase transmission lines, as well as two specialized cross-bonding techniques (continuous and sectionalized) aimed at reducing cable sheath voltages. 📊 Key findings: For triangular formations, the generalized model resulted in induced voltages that were, on average, 5.8 V higher (an additional 6.5%). For flat formations, the generalized model produced induced voltages 5.55 V higher, representing an increase of 5%. ⚡ This work provides valuable insights for designing more efficient underground transmission systems by improving accuracy in voltage calculations. Furthermore, I would like to extend my gratitude to my co-authors Jaimis Leon and Jose Pissolato, for their invaluable comments and suggestions. Finally, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to FAPESP for their support throughout my master's studies. #Research #ElectricalEngineering #TransmissionLines #UndergroundCables #IEEE #CIGRE #Electromagnetics #PowerSystems
