Research
Dr. Musa Khan is a Research Associate at the School of Engineering, Cardiff University, with a rich background in electrical engineering and power systems. His research focuses on the control of Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs) through Grid-Forming (GFM) and Grid-Following approaches, integrating Renewable Power Generation (RPG) sources, and ensuring power system stability and control. He has contributed to projects for the UK National Grid and Chinese State Grid.
Dr. Musa’s current work involves investigating generic grid-forming control-based IBRs using DIgSILENT PowerFactory in both RMS and EMT domains, validating these models in PSCAD, and running co-simulations. His postdoctoral research at Tsinghua University focused on modeling and stability analysis of IBRs such as wind turbines. He earned his PhD at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) with a focus on power system frequency control, particularly in grids with high penetration of Electric Vehicles (V2G) and RPGs.
Dr. Musa is also keen on exploring the application of IoT and AI to V2G simulations and other controllable loads for grid services. His interest extends to modern control strategies such as embedding Data-Driven Model Predictive Controllers (DD-MPCs) into GFM for electrical systems.
Biography
Dr. Musa Khan is a Research Associate at the School of Engineering, Cardiff University, where he focuses on the control of Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs) using Grid-Forming (GFM) and Grid-Following techniques, as well as Renewable Power Generation (RPG) sources and power system stability. Since joining Cardiff University in December 2023, Dr. Musa has been investigating grid-forming control-based IBRs using DIgSILENT PowerFactory in both RMS and EMT domains, validating these models in PSCAD, and running co-simulations.
Prior to this role, he worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Tsinghua University (Nov. 2021 – Nov. 2023), where his research concentrated on power system stability and control for IBRs, including wind turbines, using DPF. Dr. Musa completed his PhD at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in 2021, with a focus on power system frequency control in grids with high penetration of Electric Vehicles (V2G) and RPGs. His earlier work, during his Master’s at HUST (Sep. 2014 – Jun. 2016), examined the transient behavior of synchronous generators during grid faults and the coupled dynamics of active and reactive power, voltage, and frequency.
