Research Areas

The field of smart grids encompasses a broad research ecosystem that integrates the knowledge and expertise of multiple disciplines. The main research topics conducted within the program include:

• Renewable energy integration and power system stability
• Energy storage systems and battery management
• Electric vehicles and bidirectional charging technologies (V2G / G2V)
• Demand-side management and smart metering/measurement infrastructures
• Microgrids and islanding detection/control
• Digital twin architectures and model-based optimization in energy systems
• Power quality monitoring, event analysis, and harmonic modeling
• Cyber security in critical energy infrastructures
• Energy markets, real-time pricing, and data analytics
• Artificial intelligence and machine learning–based prediction & control models

Research activities are not limited to theoretical studies; they are supported by laboratory experiments, field implementations, commercial product development processes, and national/international research projects.
