Lingling Fan

Professor

Dr. Lingling Fan is a professor at Department of Electrical Engineering, University of South Florida (Tampa FL). She received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from Southeast University (Nanjing, China) in 1994 and 1997, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from West Virginia University (Morgantown, WV) in 2001. Before joining the academia, she worked in the power grid industry for six years. Her most recent research interests include mechanism analysis and mitigation of various dynamics in power grids with high penetrations of inverter-based resources (IBRs), e.g., wind and solar photovoltaic. She is the founding chair of IEEE Power and Energy Society (PES) task force "IBR subsynchronous oscillations". She has published three books: "Modeling and Analysis of Doubly Fed Induction Generator Wind Energy Systems" (Academic Press, 2015), "Control and Dynamics in Power Systems and Microgrids" (CRC press, 2017), and "Modeling and Stability Analysis of Inverter-Based Resources" (CRC Press 2023). Since January 2020, she serves as the editor-in-chief of IEEE Electrification Magazine, a quarterly magazine dedicated to disseminating information on all matters related to microgrids onboard electric vehicles, ships, trains, planes, and off-grid applications. Dr. Fan was elevated to IEEE Fellow class 2022 for her contributions to stability analysis and control of IBRs. She received USF Outstanding Research Achievement Award in 2022 and ESIG Excellence Award for her contributions to power system dynamic analysis in 2024.
