Dr. Tim Green

Biography

Tim Green is the Head of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Imperial College London, where he is responsible for formulating strategy and providing leadership for a department of 1,000 students. He is also the Academic Lead for Sustainability, focusing on the university's sustainability efforts regarding carbon emissions, energy use, and biodiversity. His research emphasizes the analysis and technology of developing zero-carbon electricity supply systems dominated by variable renewable energy sources and inverter-based resources (IBR) coupled with battery energy storage. He addresses challenges related to regulation, frequency, and voltage stability in such systems. Highlighted areas of interest include data-led models for whole-system stability, tackling small-signal and large-signal stability issues, and the protection of inverter-dominated networks. He has contributed to power electronics and control solutions that integrate high voltage direct current (HVDC) systems and innovative uses of soft open points within distribution networks. Tim has collaborated with EPSRC, the National Energy System Operator (NESO), and Hitachi Energy, among others, and is involved in teaching power engineering modules to Electrical and Electronic Engineering students. He encourages applications for PhD and post-doctoral research positions within his team.
