Abstract: As renewable penetration increases and synchronous machine inertia declines, grid-forming converters must maintain system stability and emulate inertial response while maintaining stability across diverse operating conditions. This seminar will share a data-driven stabilization control strategy for hybrid AC/DC grid-forming systems that helps overcome the contradiction of stability and dynamic response. Then, a framework to manage the system inertia will be presented. A novel circuit-based approach will be shared to shed some light on establishing a unified model to quantify inertia generation, transfer, and vanishing in complex AC/DC grid-forming <a href="http://networks.Bio:" target="_blank" title="networks.Bio:">networks.Bio: Pengfeng Lin, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Individual Fellowship, is an Assistant Professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

Dear IEEE members and guests,The next IEEE Control, Aerospace and Electronic Systems (CAES) seminar will be on Monday, 23 February, 2026 at 7pm (Adelaide time). You can join virtually on <a href="http://webex.The" target="_blank" title="webex.The">webex.The speaker is Senior Research Engineer Joseph Luppino. He will be presenting a seminar on:Hypersonic Rocket Research at ASTAbstract:Vehicles that travel at hypersonic speeds, greater than 5 times the speed-of-sound, must withstand extreme loads. A designer's challenge lies in realising a design that can complete the intended mission while minimising cost. This presentation will introduce: what hypersonics is, who uses hypersonic technologies, and why maturing hypersonic technologies is <a href="http://difficult.This" target="_blank" title="difficult.This">difficult.This presentation also discusses the methods available for the testing and evaluation of hypersonic technologies. This presentation closes on the discussion of designing the Common Front End flight testbed - a proposed flight-testbed concept developed in collaboration between the University of New South Wales, Canberra and Lockheed Martin Australia. The purpose of the Common Front End is to increase opportunities to flight-test and mature emerging high-speed technologies developed by various government, industry, and university research <a href="http://groups.Bio:Joseph" target="_blank" title="groups.Bio:Joseph">groups.Bio:Joseph Luppino is a Senior Research Engineer at Lockheed Martin Australia’s Advanced Systems & Technologies (AST), formerly known as STELaRLab.
