Professor Tim Green is a Professor of Electrical Power Engineering and has been at Imperial College since 1994. He holds Ph.D. from Heriot-Watt University. He is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering and Fellow of the Learned Society of Wales.
Tim’s research interest is in formulating the future form of energy systems to support zero carbon futures. A particular theme is how the flexibility of power electronics and new forms of control systems will be important steps to achieving very high penetrations of renewable energy in net-zero energy systems.
He and his team work on new methods of stability analysis for grids of inverter-based resources such as wind, solar and batteries and a further interest in long duration energy storage. He has also worked on High Voltage DC technology and holds seven patents in this area jointly with GE Grid Solutions. He is a proponent of power electronics for the management of voltage and power flow in low-voltage networks such as partnering UK Power Networks for trials of ‘soft open points” in London and Brighton. His present focus is on how use measurement data to construct system models of inverter-dominated grids and to provide from that root-cause analysis of potential instabilities.
