ESIC Power Seminar Series

Every Fall and Spring semester, ESIC brings in both academic and industry members to speak on recent developments within power engineering. This often involves their own research, and keeps our own students up to date on the latest research being done.

Our seminar series is welcome to anyone and can be accessed through TEAMS or in person in EME 26 at WSU Pullman. The seminar takes place every Tuesday of Fall and Spring semester from 1pm to 2pm PST. Information on upcoming seminars is posted here and on LinkedIn. Check back for updates, we hope to see you there!

Can’t make the seminar? All seminars are recorded and posted to our YouTube.

View all seminar recordings on our YouTube and previous seminar information (including a link to the video or slide deck) in our Seminar Archives.

Model of Inverter-Based Resources for Short Circuit Analyses- Mohammad Zadeh



The fault response characteristics of synchronous generators are inherently governed by their physical attributes and construction. In contrast, the fault response traits of Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs) are intricately tied to their vendor-specific control schemes and settings. In this ESIC seminar, I aim to elucidate the industry’s established methodologies alongside recent advancements in modeling and analyzing IBRs for short circuit analysis.
