معرفی
Luigi Vanfretti is a Full Professor in the Department of Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), leading the ALSETLab. His research focuses on energy systems, cyber-physical systems (CPS), aircraft electrification, and synchrophasor technologies. He holds an IEEE Senior Member designation and Modelica Association membership. Previously, he served as an associate professor at RPI and held roles at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden and Statnett SF in Norway.
Education includes a Ph.D. and M.Sc. in Electric Power Engineering from RPI, and a Visiting Researcher stint at the University of Glasgow. His work spans power grid dynamics, renewable integration, and hardware-in-the-loop testing. Notable projects include NSF/DOE-funded initiatives on grid resilience, HVDC systems, and smart inverter protocols. He has held visiting positions at institutions like École Centrale de Lyon and Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories (MERL), contributing to collaborative research in building energy systems and grid-interactive technologies.
Research interests emphasize CPS modeling, synchrophasor data analytics, and machine learning applications in power systems. His ALSETLab develops open-source tools like OpenIPSL and S3DK for power system simulation. Recent publications address generative networks for building scenarios, wideband impedance passivation, and oscillation analysis in power grids. Collaborations include industry partners like Dominion Energy and academic institutions worldwide.
