Short-Term Voltage stability analysis using Fault Ride-Through control techniques in grid-connected
Photovoltaic systems Due to penetration of large-scale Photovoltaic (PV) into grid, the power system is
facing stability issues. Voltage stability is one of the major concerns. This project mainly focused on short-
term voltage stability issues and introduced an efficient Fault-Ride Through (FRT) control technique to
improve short-term voltage stability in grid integrated Photovoltaic (PV) systems.
10/05/2014 – 02/01/2016
Highway wind Turbine for Power Generation Final Year research project of Bachelor degree
This was a three member team project in which I was in the lead. The purpose of this project was to design
and develop an indigenous, economical, portable, small scale highway wind turbine, capable of generating
electricity for highway lightening.
