Rate My Professor Kashem Muttaqi

His research specializations lie in electrical power engineering, focusing on modelling and control of renewable and distributed energy resources, including wind turbines, rooftop solar PV, energy storage systems, distributed generation, power converters, and solid-state transformers. Professor Muttaqi has authored or co-authored over 500 papers in international journals and conferences, including highly influential works such as “A novel control strategy for a variable-speed wind turbine with a permanent-magnet synchronous generator” (IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications, 2010), “Distribution system planning with incorporating DG reactive capability and system uncertainties” (IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy, 2012), and “Mitigation of rooftop solar PV impacts and evening peak support by managing available capacity of distributed energy storage systems” (IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, 2013). He has supervised more than 29 higher degree research students. Among his honors are elevation to IEEE Fellow (2022) for contributions to renewable and distributed energy resource modelling and control, Fellowship of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), and Fellowship of Engineers Australia (FIEAust). He serves as Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications (since 2024), Executive Board Member of IEEE Industry Applications Society, and holds various editorial and committee roles. His pioneering work has influenced grid codes and standards for variable power-factor operation of distributed generation.
