Lingling Fan

Lingling Fan is a power engineer specializing in the dynamics, system identification, and control theory of electrical grids and electric power conversion, and especially on the integration into these systems of inverter-based resources connected to variable renewable energy sources such as wind power and solar power. Educated in China and the US, she is a professor of electrical engineering at the University of South Florida.[1]

Education and career

Fan is originally from a small village on the coast of East China, the daughter of a teacher and a hydraulic engineer.[2] She studied electrical engineering at Southeast University in Nanjing, earning bachelor's and master's degrees in 1994 and 1997 respectively. She came to the US as a doctoral student at West Virginia University, where she completed her Ph.D. in 2001.[1]

After six years working for the industry at Midwest ISO, a nonprofit energy transmission organization based in St. Paul, Minnesota,[1][2] she joined North Dakota State University as an assistant professor in 2007.[1] She moved to the University of South Florida in 2009,[2] and is a full professor there.[1]

In 2020 she became editor-in-chief of IEEE Electrification Magazine.[1][3]

Books

Fan is the author or coauthor of books including:[1]

  • Modeling and Analysis of Doubly Fed Induction Generator Wind Energy Systems (with Zhixin Miao, Academic Press, 2015)
  • Control and Dynamics in Power Systems and Microgrids (CRC Press, 2017)[4]

Recognition

Fan was elected as an IEEE Fellow in 2022, "for contributions to stability analysis and control of inverter-based resources".[1][5]
