معرفی
Dr. Qiteng Hong is a Reader in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the University of Strathclyde, Faculty of Engineering. He holds a BEng (Hons) and PhD from the same institution and is a leading researcher in power system protection and control for renewable-dominated grids. He is Deputy Director of the MSc in Electrical Power and Energy Systems and a member of the Steering Committee for the Joint MSc with Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST).
- BEng (Hons), Electronic and Electrical Engineering, University of Strathclyde, 2011 (Top Graduate of the Year)
- PhD, Electrical Engineering, University of Strathclyde, 2015 (fully funded by National Grid)
His research focuses on novel solutions for monitoring, protection, and control of future power systems, particularly those with high renewable penetration. Key areas include wide-area monitoring using synchronized measurements, protection of converter-dominated systems, fast frequency response in low-inertia networks, and digital twin-based real-time control. His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals in clean energy and climate action.
Dr. Hong has published over 110 research outputs, including 59 journal articles. His recent publications (2025) emphasize fault detection and arc suppression in active distribution networks using advanced converter topologies and signal processing techniques. Themes include traveling wave analysis, Hough transform, synthetic zero-sequence signals, and machine learning for frequency prediction, reflecting a strong trend toward intelligent, data-driven power system protection.

Dr. Hong has led or participated in over 50 research and KE projects, securing £11M in funding (PI on £2.26M). He leads a team of 10 researchers, including 5 PhD students, and has developed the LGMVP platform—the UK’s first online tool of its kind. He serves on the University Senate, is a guest editor for 5 journal special issues (Co-Guest Editor-in-Chief for a special issue on zero-carbon power systems), and has delivered teaching across 9 modules. He has been PI or Co-I on major projects such as SETTLE-INSIGHT (NIA), Shell-iCase, and NGET SIF ALPHA.
He leads an active research group focused on smart grid protection and digital twin technologies. He is the main developer of four prototype software tools and mentors a team of PhD students and research associates. His lab collaborates with industry partners like SSE, National Grid, and Shell, and he is a key figure in international initiatives through IEEE and CIGRE.
