The team of postgraduate students and researchers from the Center for Energy Technologies has achieved outstanding success at recent competitions and conferences in the fields of energy and electrical engineering. We are excited to share this news, which reinforce our standing in the scientific community and highlight the significance of our research with its practical impact on shaping the future of energy systems.
Stepan Vasilev: First Place at All-Russian Student Competition
Stepan Vasilev, a postgraduate student at our center under the supervision of Professor Oleg Khamisov, secured first place in the seventh seventh All-Russian Open Competition for University Student Research on Electric Power and Electrical Engineering Using Simulators. Stepan’s research focuses on managing renewable energy sources during short-term voltage instability using simulators. His work was also presented at two international conferences, MOTOR 2024 in Omsk and IEEE EDM 2024 in Gorny Altai, where it received a recommendation to submit an extended version of the paper to a Q1 journal.
Ildar Idrisov: Digital Twin for Battery Charge Estimation
Another notable achievement was the project by Ildar Idrisov, a PhD student under Professor Federico Ibañez supervision, who secured 2nd place in the Young Professionals Involvement competition at the 25th Anniversary IEEE EDM 2024 Conference in Gorny Altai. Ildar’s work focuses on developing a digital twin for assessing the state of charge of a vanadium redox flow battery. He proposed an innovative approach to tracking battery charge dynamics using real-time data, paving the way for advancements in energy storage technologies and enhancing energy system management.
Ilya Veretennikov: Stability Analysis of Grid-Connected Inverters
Ilya Veretennikov, under the supervision of Professor Federico Ibañez, won second place in the Power Electronics section at the IEEE EDM 2024 conference. His work focuses on studying the stability of parallel inverters in weak distribution networks. Utilizing the Hardware-in-the-Loop method, Ilya developed an experimental setup to evaluate inverter stability under varying network conditions, marking a significant advancement in the integration of renewable energy sources into power grids.
Professor Oleg Khamisov: Adaptive Frequency Regulation with Multi-Scenario Predictions
Professor Oleg Khamisov secured first place in the Electric Power Engineering section at the IEEE EDM 2024 International Conference. His research focuses on developing an adaptive approach to primary frequency control in low-inertia grids with a high penetration of renewable energy sources. By leveraging multi-scenario forecasts of system dynamics, the proposed method minimizes frequency fluctuations and enhances the stability of power systems, offering a robust solution for modern grid challenges.
Congratulations to our team on their outstanding performance at both national and international competitions!
