Scholar-generated biography
Robin Preece is a Professor of Future Power Systems at the University of Manchester, specializing in power systems dynamics, stability, and uncertainty analysis. Their research focuses on the integration of renewable energy sources into power systems, with an emphasis on probabilistic stability assessment and uncertainty modeling. Preece's work explores the impact of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems on AC grid dynamics, including damping of inter-area oscillations and the role of VSC-HVDC in enhancing system resilience. They also investigate advanced control strategies and risk-based security assessments for modern power networks, incorporating tools like probabilistic collocation methods and sensitivity analysis.
