Modern Power Transmission Systems

Congratulations to our research group member Mani Ashouri for his successful PhD defense and new career in Hitachi ABB Power Grids!

Congratulations🥳! Roni Irnawan, an outstanding PhD graduated from the MPTS research group in 2019, won the CIGRE Thesis award for his PhD thesis entitled “Planning and control of expandable multi-terminal VSC-HVDC transmission systems”.
Roni is only the 2nd person to win this award. Roni was a PhD fellow at the research group working on the COBRAcable research project and he is now a lecturer at Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia. The thesis is available https://vbn.aau.dk/en/publications/planning-and-control-of-expandable-multi-terminal-vsc-hvdc-transm and its summary will be published on the next issue of the CIGRE CSE journal. More details on the award are available https://e-cigre.org/publication/download_pdf/ELT_310-june-2020 (page 34).

This is for our clever PhD students 😁😁

The MPTS group leader - Prof. Claus Leth Bak won the CIGRE Technical Council award and the Distinguish Member award. A rare double recognition. The awards are described by CIGRE as follows:
• The "Technical Council" award, granted by the Chairman of the Technical Council, is accorded every two years for active participation in Study Committees (maximum sixteen awards).
• Every two years, longstanding services to CIGRE are rewarded by a "Distinguished Member" award, upon proposal from their National Committees.

Regular research group meeting by MPTS during COVID-19😄😄😄

The Modern Power Transmission Systems is a research group in the Department of Energy Technology, Aalborg University, Denmark.

We aim to conduct research at the highest level, in order to allow a technically sound and long-term reliable transition of today’s power transmission system into a modern transmission system capable of handling the demands of the future.
