Webinar | Part 1 | OPAL-RT: Your Partner for Strong and Funded R&D Proposals | OPAL-RT Learning Journey

​Title: Collaborative US R&D Projects

Description: OPAL-RT’s US R&D team participated in a number of funded projects over the years in which we developed high-fidelity real-time models of power systems and power electronics for supporting the research on high penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) to the grid. Additionally, we have provided technical support to the project teams to overcome challenges in validating new grid control algorithms with large-scale hardware-in-the-loop testing. A brief overview from some of these projects will be presented including the technical objectives, developed solutions and sample results.

Biography: Dr. Sudipta Chakraborty, Director of Energy Systems of OPAL-RT,is currently leading US R&D activities related to real-time simulation and hardware-in-the-loop for power systems and power electronics applications. Dr. Chakraborty has more than 12 years of experience in power converters and grid integration of PV, more than 10 years of experience in HIL, and more than 17 years of experience in power electronics. Prior joining to OPAL-RT, Dr. Chakraborty was a principal engineer at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory where he was leading projects on grid integration of renewable such as development of high power density SiC PV inverter, development of modular power electronics, developing new hardware-in-the-loop based methods for inverter testing and supporting grid interconnection standards such as IEEE 1547 and IEEE1547.1.
