FACULTY INFORMATION
 Identify the different challenges of grid integration of
Dr. Rajiv K. Varma is Professor in the
Electrical and Computer Engineering
Department at The University of
Western Ontario. He was the “Hydro
One Chair in Power Systems
Engineering” established by Hydro
One Networks Inc. - the largest
transmission and distribution utility in
Ontario, Canada, from 2012 to the
culmination of the Chair program in 2015. He is the Secretary
of IEEE Power and Energy Society “HVDC and FACTS
Subcommittee” since 2014. He is also the Chair of “IEEE
Working Group on HVDC and FACTS Bibliography”, and is
active on several other IEEE Working Groups. He was the
Editor of “IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery” for five years.
Dr. Varma has presented numerous IEEE Tutorials, Courses
and Workshops, on “FACTS” and “HVDC” in different
countries. Dr. Rajiv Varma was the Western's Project Lead in
the $6.125 Million project on “Laarge-Scale Photovoltaic
Solar Power Integration in Transmission and Distribution
Networks”, together with University of Waterloo, funded by
Ontario Centres of Excellence, Ontario Power Authority, a
transmission utility - Hydro One, two local distribution utilities -
Bluewater Power Corporation and London Hydro, and a
major solar farm developer - First Solar. He subsequently led
two multi-university (Western - Waterloo - Ryerson) projects
totalling $2 Million on “Enhancing Grid Connectivity of
Renewables through Innovative Controls of PV Solar Farms”
and “Smart Management of Short Circuit Currents from
Distributed Generators”. These Projects were supported by
Ontario Centres of Excellence, Ontario’s System Operator,
the above industry partners, Testforce, German Solar and
Kaco. Dr. Varma has developed a set of innovative
technologies of utilizing PV solar farms in the NIGHTTIME and
also daytime during critical system needs for providing
multiple benefits to both transmission and distribution
systems. These technologies transform a solar farm inverter
into a dynamic reactive power compensator– STATCOM,
named as PV-STATCOM. Till now six patents have been
issued to Dr. Varma’s works, while a few others are pending
in different countries.
Dr. Trapti Jain is an Associate
Professor in the Electrical Engineering
Department at the Indian Institute of
Technology Indore. She received the
Ph.D. degree in Electrical
Engineering from the Indian Institute
of Technology Kanpur, Kanpur, India.
Her research interests include power system security, artificial
intelligence applications to power systems, power system
dynamics, microgrid stability and control, power quality, and
grid integration of electric vehicle.
COURSE OBJECTIVE
Distributed Generators based on PV solar power and wind
power systems, and understand the techniques adopted to
mitigate these negative impacts
 Comprehend the different technologies for increasing the
hosting capacity of distribution networks used worldwide for
accommodating DGs, with the focus being on solar and
wind.
 Develop the knowledge of various smart inverter functions
