Assessment of Stability and Power Quality Challenges in Power Electronics Converters Using Power Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing
With the increasing integration of Power Electronics Converters (PECs) into electrical grids, addressing stability and power quality issues has become crucial. The complexity and variability of PECs and their control interactions can significantly impact grid performance, especially under weak grid conditions. This ...

DEEPWine
The goal of this project is to perform a feasibility study on realizing of a virtual oenologist, an integrated computational framework to assess wine quality and taste through purely optical analyses. The goal will be achieved by combining two optical spectroscopy techniques (fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy) ...
