Research Experience

 Hemanshu's current research interest is in the areas of:

  • Renewable Energy Integration for Smart Grid
  • Control of mechanical systems - atomic force microscope and small UAVs
He has sercured close to three million dollars in external researh funding. He has obtained three ARC Discovery grants and one ARC Linkage grant. 
 
His fundamental contributions in the power systems area are: battery and renewable resource integration, vehicle-to-grid for power quality support, analysis of power systems transient stability, robust feedback linearising control of synchronous machines and renewable resources, robust control for low-voltage-ride-through for wind generators, high performance PV system control for real and reactive power support, non-interacting controller design for distribution systems.
 
His contrbutions in the control of mechanical systems are spatial control, resonant control, and robust control that have been applied to high speed AFM image scanning.
