Lingling Fan
Power engineer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lingling Fan is a power engineer who is currently a professor of electrical engineering at the University of South Florida.[1] Fan specializing in the dynamics, system identification, and control theory of electrical grids and electric power conversion, and especially on the integration into these systems of inverter-based resources connected to variable renewable energy sources such as wind power and solar power.
Education and career
Fan is originally from a small village on the coast of East China, the daughter of a teacher and a hydraulic engineer.[2] She studied electrical engineering at Southeast University in Nanjing, earning bachelor's and master's degrees in 1994 and 1997 respectively. She came to the US as a doctoral student at West Virginia University, where she completed her Ph.D. in 2001.[1]
After six years working for the industry at Midwest ISO, a nonprofit energy transmission organization based in St. Paul, Minnesota,[1][2] Lingling joined North Dakota State University as an assistant professor in 2007.[1] She moved to the University of South Florida in 2009,[2] and is a full professor there.[1]
In 2020, she became editor-in-chief of IEEE Electrification Magazine.[1][3]
