Background

Arash contributed in developing two transmission line models: Frequency-Dependent Line Model (FDLM) and Discrete-Time Fourier Series (DTFS). The FDLM is a time-domain model which is numerically more efficient than the existing line models while it physically coincides with the behaviour of a real line. The DTFS is a frequency-domain tool which is used as a reference solution to improve the accuracy of the time-domain models. The DTFS is more accurate, numerically more efficient, and much simpler to implement than the existing frequency-domain solutions.

Arash is currently collaborating with Professor Jose R. Marti on power system transient modelling and simulation.
