Dr. Emerson Guest

Emerson maintains a wealth of renewable energy power systems experience through his work in switchyard and substation design, technology  development for grid-connected converters, PSS/E and PSCAD model development for renewable generators, and grid compliance studies for renewable energy power plants.

​

After completing an Electrical Engineering degree in Newcastle, NSW in 2010, Emerson's focus on renewable energy narrowed in 2013 with commencement at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU); an epicentre for the development of converter-based renewable energy sources and the birthplace of commercialised wind power. Emerson has since completed a PhD with Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy and solved a multitude of complex grid issues, from forensic analysis of real world stability issues, to assisting developers and system operators achieve grid connection world-wide.
