I am pleased to report that I received the Outstanding Paper Presentation Award from the Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan (IEEJ) at the 2024 Power and Energy Society Conference (2024).
The conference was held from September 4 to 6, 2024, at Nakamozu Campus, Osaka Metropolitan University, Japan. This award is presented to young researchers whose paper presentations are recognized as outstanding in terms of originality, technical quality, and presentation clarity.
At the conference, I presented my research entitled “Enhanced Inertia and GFL Integration Stability Using the DC Bus Controller.” The objective of this study is to improve system stability in power networks with a high penetration of grid-following (GFL) converters. In this research, a DC bus–based control strategy was proposed to enhance virtual inertia and stabilize the interaction between power electronic converters and the grid. The results demonstrated that the proposed controller effectively improves dynamic stability and system robustness under various operating conditions.
During the presentation, I received valuable feedback and questions from the audience and reviewers, particularly regarding the effectiveness of the DC bus controller and its applicability to future power systems with high renewable energy penetration. This recognition has further motivated me to pursue high-quality research in the field of power and energy engineering.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Professor Ryuto Shigenobu, Professor Akiko Takahashi, Professor Masakazu Ito, and Professor Hisao Taoka for their invaluable guidance and support throughout this research. I am also grateful to my laboratory members and collaborators for their continuous assistance.
Building on this achievement, I plan to further develop this research and actively disseminate the results through future conferences and journal publications, contributing to advancements in electrical and energy engineering.
