Biography
Malini Ghosal came to the PNNL in 2018 and joined Electricity Infrastructure group in 2018. Prior to joining Electricity Infrastructure, she worked in the Texas Tech University as a PhD student. Her research interests include power systems dynamic state estimation, balancing reserve calculation under uncertainty, system theoretic approaches for anomaly detection and grid impacts study for transportation electrification.
For the past one year she has been supporting hardware in the loop implementation of the coordinative real-time sub transmission volt-var control, developing and adapting reserve calculation and day ahead ramping calculation tool for the Central America, analyzing impact of electrification of transportation on the electric grid, and machine learning application for composite load modeling, etc.
