M2 Research Internship: Nonlinear control of electric vehicles charging to cope with power systems inertia reduction and frequency instability

The proposed work aims to investigate how to use power inverters, and in particular, large EVs charging stations and DC MicroGrids to provide inertia emulation and help stabilize the reduced inertia AC grid. This is expected to be attained through new intelligent control algorithms (nonlinear, adaptive, predictive) in a distributed manner, mostly based on local measurements. This is a strategic topic for future grids and will allow their development to mitigate the effect of future increases in DC elements such as renewables, electric vehicles, and storage systems like batteries and supercapacitors.
