My ability to bridge knowledge across different fields within NCCR Automation allows me to effectively communicate with both theorists and practitioners alike.
I earned my Bachelor's degree from Northeast Electric Power University (2016–2020) and began my Ph.D. studies at Zhejiang University in 2020. My research centers on the stability analysis and control of power systems with high renewable energy penetration, focusing particularly on hybrid systems integrating grid-forming and grid-following units. In previous work, I examined the fundamental differences and connections between grid-forming and grid-following devices, unifying these concepts through mathematical and physical parameters. My findings revealed that synchronization control differences are not the defining characteristic of these devices. Building on this unified framework, I investigated small-signal synchronization stability in power systems.
Looking ahead, I aim to explore the applications of grid-forming devices in large-scale power systems, focusing on developing quantitative methods to define and assess grid-forming capabilities, as well as robust grid-forming control strategies aligned with practical engineering needs.
