Personal Profile
Vaibhav Pawaskar’s research at NREL focuses on energy storage systems and DC grid projects aimed at improving grid resilience and operational flexibility. He is actively involved in developing electric grid models tailored for controller hardware-in-the-loop (C-HIL) and power hardware-in-the-loop (P-HIL) simulations. He also supports designing and implementing distributed grid control algorithms to support cost-effective, real-time grid operations and peak load management. His contributions span the end-to-end development of wide bandgap (WBG) power electronic devices, from simulation and modeling to hardware prototyping and validation.
