Project Milestones - Outcomes - Deliverables

Five papers have been published in journals and conference proceedings

Special session on Intelligent Systems Applications for Sustainable Electrification has been arranged at the ISAP 2019 conference in December.

Four papers in the final stage of completion:

• Mingyue Wei's journal: Multi-objective Smart Inverted Control Strategy for Distribution Network with Photovoltaics Infeed
• Yuanda Gao's ISAP conference: Development of Hardware in-the-Loop Platform for Distribution Networks
• Deepak's ISAP conference: Time Series Representation Learning Applications for Power Analytics
• Mingyue Wei's ISAP conference: Smart Coordination of Battery Storage Units and PV Inverters for CVR Control in Distribution Network

Smart grid real-time simulation rig is close to completion at the University of Edinburgh.
