Yaran Li

Yaran Li received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, in 2021, the B.E. degree in electrical engineering from Southeast University, Nanjing, China, in 2017. She is currently with State Grid Jiangsu Electric Power Research Institute, dedicated on offshore wind connection and control. She also held industrial positions with Transgrid, Australia as a network planning engineer. She primarily supported the team in particular in the area of renewable generation integration in relation to adverse impacts due to lack of power system strength. Her research interests include microgrid control, renewable connection, and power system stability analysis.

She has been actively involved in international standardization activities since 2023. She convened the CIGRE working group C2.45 titled "Estimation, evaluation and provision of power system inertia in networks with a high share of renewable generation", participated in the IEC White Paper on "Zero carbon power system based primarily on renewable energy (Chinese version)", and joined IEC SC8C (Network management in interconnected electric power systems) WG4 (Power system resilience) and WG8 (power system inertia) as the registered expert.
