Valeria Monteiro de Souza

About

Valéria Monteiro de Souza received her B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering with focus on Electrical Power Systems from Federal University of Pará (UFPA), Brazil, in 2017 and 2019 respectively. She is currently a Ph.D. candidate at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Norway, working within the department of Power System Operation and Analysis (PSOA).

Her Ph.D. research is focused on the development of novel methods for detection and prevention of voltage instability events as a means to provide decision-making support to TSOs in the context of early-warning early-prevention systems. This research is part of the NEWEPS project. Her research interests include power systems modelling and analysis, voltage stability, voltage control and renewable energy sources.
