Education
Ph.D. - Electrical Power Systems
10-2019
- Dissertation: Investigation and optimization of the energy efficiency of the Tajik energy system
- System Instability Analysis: Investigated the effects of load variability and voltage fluctuations on the stability of the Tajik energy system.
- Technical Solutions for Stability: Proposed technical measures to enhance electrical power stability across the entire energy network, addressing high-quality, reliable power supply challenges.
- Comprehensive Grid Analysis: Conducted detailed analysis on Tajikistan's extra-high and high-voltage grids, including: Four 500 kV substations, a hydropower plant, and 490 km of overhead lines.
26 substations, seven power plants, and 1327 km of overhead lines at the 220 kV level.
156 substations, three power plants, and nearly 30,000 km of overhead lines at the 110 kV level. - Decentralized Zone Simulation and PV Optimization: Examined a decentralized zone (10/0.4 kV) to assess voltage stability issues, including simulations and optimization of photovoltaic (PV) integration to enhance grid stability.
- Voltage Stability Solutions: Identified lack of reactive compensation equipment as a critical challenge, proposing the installation of Static Var Compensators to mitigate voltage instability issues, especially in remote areas.
- CASA-1000 Project Analysis: Modeled load flow for the Tajik grid, assessing the impact of connecting the CASA-1000 project, which links multiple Asian countries, on voltage stability and power flow.
- Reactive Power Compensation Efficiency: Demonstrated through simulations the effectiveness of reactive power compensation over load adjustments for voltage stabilization.
