⚡️How do we secure stable power grids in a renewable future? Rui Kong’s research brings us one step closer 💡   🎓 PHD DEFENCE BY RUI KONG 🎓   We’re excited to invite you to the PhD defence of Rui Kong, who will present his dissertation: “Stability Detection, Analysis, and Control of Grid-Forming Converters” on March 30th, 2026! 🎉 🔌 As the world rapidly shifts towards renewable energy, traditional high-inertia power grids are being replaced by converter-dominated systems. This transition offers great opportunities, but also introduces new stability challenges.    Rui’s research provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and mitigating these challenges.   His work combines: -      Measurement-based oscillation detection -      Model-based stability analysis -      Advanced control strategies for grid-forming (GFM) converters   Together, these contributions help pave the way for more reliable, resilient, and renewable energy systems of the future.   📅 Date: March 30th, 2026 🕒 Time: 13:00-16:00 📍 Location: Pontoppidanstræde 101, 9220 Aalborg East – Room 1.001 / Online participation available.   Supervisor: -      Frede Blaabjerg, AAU   Co-supervisor: -      Subham Sahoo, AAU   Assessment Committee: -      Saeed Golestan (Chair), AAU -      Professor Xiao-Ping Zhang, University of Birmingham, UK -      Professor Giovanna Oriti, Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA, USA   Moderator: -      Saeed Peyghami, AAU   Further information and link to participate online 👉🏼 https://lnkd.in/ewSQS34K
