Valeria Monteiro de Souza
Om
Valéria Monteiro de Souza received her B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering with focus on Electrical Power Systems from Federal University of Pará (UFPA), Brazil, in 2017 and 2019, respectively. Afterwards, she received her Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Norway, in 2026. She is currently a post-doctoral research fellow at NTNU working within the Department of Electric Energy (IEL), Power System Operation and Analysis (PSOA) group.
Her post-doctoral work builds upon the topic of her recently concluded Ph.D.: "Early Warning Early Prevention System for Voltage Instability Phenomena". The focus is now on development of linear state estimation approaches for real-time transmission system operator support with respect to PMU-based voltage stability applications. The research is a part of Work Package 3 within the ongoing p-SWAMP project.
Her current research interests include power systems modelling and analysis, voltage stability, real-time monitoring and renewable energy sources.
Forskning
Current research interests:
- Power system modelling and analysis in Python and PSS®E;
- Linear state estimation;
- Transmission & distribution level studies;
- Voltage stability monitoring;
- Grid interconnection of renewable energy sources.
Power Stability Wide Area Monitoring Protection (p-SWAMP)
p-SWAMP is built as a follow-up to NEWEPS, continuing the mission of advancing early-warning algorithms for voltage stability and power oscillations, now with expanded capabilities, modern computing techniques, and AI-driven operator support tools.
Joint Industry Project RunGreen
RunGreen is a Nordic collaboration project aimed at identifying and mitigating potential adverse scenarios for the future operation of the Nordic power system with large converter installations.
Nordic Early Warning Early Prevention System (NEWEPS)
NEWEPS is a Nordic research Project for a more efficient digitalized Power System between Statnett and SvK. The project is carried out in collaboration with Sintef Energi, NTNU, KTH and RISE.
