IEEE Power & Energy Society Technical Report: Electric Signatures of Power Equipment Failures
February 1, 2021In December 2019, Dr Grazia Todeschini was on the Working Group on Power Quality Data Analytics for a technical report by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Power & Energy Society. The report looks at the potential use of non-power-quality information from power quality measurements used by utility companies – in particular, equipment […]
How can we use renewable energies in everyday life? An engagement activity at Swansea Science Festival
December 17, 2020Using a reduced-scale model of a small urban area, Dr Grazia Todeschini demonstrated some of the ways we can use renewable energies in everyday life.
The demonstration was part of the Swansea Science Festival that took place from 21st – 31st October.
Publication: Voltage Unbalance Mitigation by Novel Control of BESS Single–phase Inverters
November 19, 2020Abstract: A voltage unbalance compensation method using three single-phase battery energy storage systems (BESSs) is proposed in this paper. A novel control strategy based on orthogonal signal generation is presented to regulate active and reactive power injection from the BESS inverters. A modified version of the ‘IEEE 13 node’ benchmark three-phase distribution system is built […]
Publication: Battery Energy Storage Systems in the United Kingdom: A Review of Current State-of-the-Art and Future Applications
August 19, 2020Abstract The number of battery energy storage systems (BESSs) installed in the United Kingdom and worldwide is growing rapidly due to a variety of factors, including technological improvements, reduced costs and the ability to provide various ancillary services. The aim of this paper is to carry out a comprehensive literature review on this technology, its […]
International Women in Engineering Day – Dr Grazia Todeschini
June 23, 2020My love for science first, and electrical engineering later, brought me to travel to many places, starting from a small village in Northern Italy to Milan, to the Unites States, to Swansea, and to many other places in between.
