MY RESEARCH INTEREST My main research interest was always in Energy Systems.

I have worked in Power industry after my bachelors degree and was fascinated by the problems associated with power transients and generation related problems. I feel that renewable energy sources have a huge contribution to make in creating a sustainable energy system in the future. Renewable energy systems will help to mitigate climate change, increase the security of our global energy supply system and give developing countries access to affordable energy. I have worked on wind energy and its integration to utility systems for many years. Wind energy has been used for many thousands of years, but only in the past 35 years has it come to be integrated into the modern energy supply on a significant scale. Alongside major improvements in energy efficiency, energy conversion and transportation systems, the extensive use of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind will make a major contribution to future sustainable energy systems. With alternative sources the utility grid will need much better and sophisticated control and security system. I plan to look into integration of alternative sources into utility system and provide better reliability, security and control. Wind and solar are intermittent source of energy and a utility system reliability will reduce if the renewable source increases above a certain percentage. Systems studies with various load and generation condition is and will be necessary for the security of utility system. The modern power system is undergoing several fundamental changes due to increasing penetration of renewable and distributed energy sources, and the proliferation non-linear loads in to the system. Because of increase of non-linear loads power quality especially in the distribution system is being affected. Smart grid technology will in future mitigate a number of these issues but a lot of research in the field of sensing, intelligent control will have to be done. My knowledge and interest in advance control will pave the road for research into smart grid and its peripherals. My other research interest is in the intelligent control and machine control. I have done lot of research in the fuzzy logic and neuro-fuzzy control. As most of real system is inherently non-linear, fuzzy and neuro-fuzzy control system can be easily applied to various types of non-linear systems. My research with fuzzy system not only includes machine control and power system optimization but I also used fuzzy logic to predict stocks performances. I plan to work further into fuzzy and neuro-fuzzy logic system to estimate, control or predict performance better.
