Bin Wang joined NREL in 2019 and is a member of the Transmission & Distribution Interactions Group within the Grid Planning and Analysis Center. His background is all about power system dynamics, including analysis and simulation of power system electromechanical dynamics and electro-magnetic transient dynamics. His current research and efforts aim to evaluate the dynamical impact of high penetration of inverter-based resources (IBRs) and develop better solutions for power system planning and operation.
