Current Projects
Cyber Resilient 5G Enabled Virtual Power System for Growing Power Demand
NSF funded research, currently in the works. The goal of this project is to design of a Pole-Mounted Virtual Power System that utilizes the combination of different AI-Based Intelligent Control methods for power optimization, and for providing a secure link between utilities and the system in the event of different Cyber-Security threats.
Integrating Distributed Energy Resources with Grid-interactive Efficient Buildings for Net Zero Energy and Community Resilience
NSF funded research, currently in the works.
Orchestration of Network Slicing for 5G-Enabled IoT Devices Using Reinforcement Learning
NSF funded research, currently in the works.
Accelerating Resilience of the Community through Holistic Engagement and Use of Renewables (ARCHER) Planning Framework
DOE funded research, currently in the works.
“5G Enabled Dynamic Wireless Charging Systems for Electric Vehicle
Seed Grant funded project at Tennessee State University, currently in the works.
Design of A Load Forecasting Software for Electrical Substation
EPRI funded project, currently in the works.
“Design of a micro-inverter for solar panel
EPRI funded project, currently in the works.
Design of a Distributed Solar Powered System for Electric Vehicle Wireless Charging
EPRI funded project, currently in the works.
Statistical Approach to Smart Grid Security
Seed Grant funded project at Tennessee State University, currently in the works.
Past Projects
Simulation of the 5G Communication Link Between Solar Micro-Inverters and SCADA System
Design of a Solar Energy System with Smart Controller Capable of Weather Prediction and Acting as a Virtual Power Plant (VPP)
EPRI funded project, published under EPRI GridEd student projects. This work developed a system that utilized Smart controllers capable of energy management and control from PV arrays to distribute energy to batteries and AC devices that provided a User Interface to efficiently monitor parameters from the system which utilized weather predictions using real-time data to notify users to reduce power consumption when battery SOC was low and optimized charging accordingly.
