About

Basanta Raj Pokhrel is Researcher at the Department of Electrical Power Engineering and is associated with National Smart Grid Laboratory. He has a PhD in Energy Technology from Aalborg University, Denmark and a master’s degree in Electrical Power Engineering from Kathmandu University, Nepal / NTNU Norway.

In his PhD dissertation, issues from DSO perspective in the emerging scenario in electricity network such as huge data handling, network observability with minimum measurements, active network management and optimized operation, and TSO-DSO interoperability and coordination have been investigated. His main research interest is in real time monitoring of electricity grid for the utilization of utmost flexibility and the resources available in modern power system network.

Work Experience:

2021 - Present: Research Scientist, Department of Electrical Power Engineering, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).

2013 – 2021: Assistant Professor, Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Kathmandu University.

2010 – 2013: Lecturer, Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Kathmandu University.

2006 – 2008: Plant Engineer, Bottlers Nepal Limited (Coca-Cola Nepal).

 

Research

My reseach activity is focused on Smart Grid Operation, specially in wide area monitoring system (WAMS).

  • Power System Operation and Analysis – PSOA

CINELDI

CINELDI_FME is a centre for environment-friendly energy research.

SysOpt

This project aim to optimize the interface between power producers and grid owner by developing more efficient system services, thus ensuring operational security of the future energy system.

NEWEPS (Nordic Early Warning and Early Protection System)

The project will improve the monitoring of the Nordic power system and facilitate an automatic response to ensure stable and safe operation.
