Biographie

Je suis professeur agrégé au Département de génie électrique de Polytechnique Montréal. J’ai obtenu un baccalauréat en génie physique de Polytechnique Montréal en 2015 et un doctorat en génie électrique de l’Université de Toronto en 2019. Avant de me joindre à Polytechnique Montréal, j’ai été chercheur postdoctoral au Energy & Resources Group de l’Université de la Californie à Berkeley de 2019 à 2020. Mes champs d’intérêt en recherche incluent l’optimisation, l’apprentissage en ligne et l’apprentissage automatique ainsi que leurs applications aux réseaux électriques utilisant de l’énergie renouvelable.

Inverter-based resources (IBRs) can cause instability in weak AC grids. While supplementary damping controllers (SDCs) effectively mitigate … (voir plus)this instability, they are typically designed for specific resonance frequencies but struggle with large shifts caused by changing grid conditions. This paper proposes a deep reinforcement learning-based agent (DRL Agent) as an adaptive SDC to handle shifted resonance frequencies. To address the time-consuming nature of training DRL Agents in electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulations, we coordinate fast root mean square (RMS) and EMT simulations. Resonance frequencies of the weak grid instability are accurately reproduced by RMS simulations to support the training process. The DRL Agent’s efficacy is tested in unseen scenarios outside the training dataset. We then iteratively improve the DRL Agent’s performance by modifying the reward function and hyper-parameters.

Through multibeam, frequency reuse, and advanced antenna technology, regenerative non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) extremely high-throughput s… (voir plus)atellites (EHTS) are expected to play a key role in future communications, delivering data rates up to terabits per second. This paper investigates a novel architecture for future regenerative and scalable payloads to satisfy users’ demands for varying quality of service (QoS). This architecture is designed based on multiple modem banks and requires a new flow assignment strategy to efficiently route traffic within the satellite. We propose a multi-commodity path flow optimization problem to manage the load with varying QoS requirements across multiple modems within an NGSO high-throughput satellite (HTS) system and beyond. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed model consistently maintains low delays and packet losses for the highest-priority traffic and outperforms the classical first-in, first-out (FIFO) approach.
