Congratulations! Dr. Lina He and Shiwen Yu won the “Best Paper” award in IEEE Open Access J. Power Energy, ranking among the top two from Oct 2021–Sep 2024!

Congratulations! Our paper entitled “Systematic Decoupling Grid-Forming Control for Utility-Scale Inverter-Based Resources in Weak Grids,” published in IEEE Open Access Journal of Power and Energy (vol. 11, Jan. 2024), has been honored with the Best Paper Award. This prestigious recognition selects only two papers from all journal publications between October 2021 and September 2024.

The paper introduces a systematic approach to decoupling active and reactive power regulation in weak distribution grids, a critical challenge due to low X/R ratios. Unlike conventional methods, their novel control strategy offers a structured and adaptive framework that ensures precise power control and improved grid stability, paving the way for more reliable integration of inverter-based distributed energy resources.

This award highlights the impact of their systematic innovation in advancing renewable energy integration and grid resilience.
