This talk provides an overview of some of the ongoing research activities of the EMC group at Politecnico di Torino for the development of modeling and simulation tools for diverse applications. The seminar is divided into three sections:
1.Gas Distribution Network Models: Introduction of an algorithm to model gas distribution networks with realistic features and multiple pressure levels. The method is adaptable to other infrastructures and validated against real networks, showing strong agreement in topology.
2.Power-Flow Analysis for Distributed Generation: Presentation of an alternative powerflow analysis method interpreting power networks as nonlinear circuits in the phasor domain. This approach, validated on the IEEE 8500-node test feeder.
3.Behavioral Modeling of Digital ICs: Focus on accurate modeling of digital IC buffers using kernel regressions. This approach offers a promising alternative for modeling nonlinear electrical devices.
The seminar show cases innovative methodologies and tools developed by the EMC groups, demonstrating their effectiveness in various energy and electrical modeling applications.
Igor S. Stievano (Senior Member, IEEE) received the master’s degree in electronic engineering and the Ph.D. degree in electronics and communication engineering from the Politecnico di Torino, Turin, Italy, in 1996 and 2001, respectively. He is currently full professor of electrical engineering with the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications, Politecnico di Torino. From 2017 to 2021, he was the Vice Rector of Academic and Scientific Activities of the joint campus of the Politecnico di Torino in Uzbekistan, Turin Polytechnic University, Tashkent, Uzbekistan. He was the Program Co-Chair of the 20th and 21st IEEE Workshop on Signal and Power Integrity (SPI2016 and SPI2017). His research interests include electromagnetic compatibility and signal integrity, power systems, statistical simulation of circuits and systems, and compact modeling of energy networks (electrical and gas).
