Power quality and resilience remain central themes of our research. If a failure occurs and the cause is not immediately clear, it is more likely due to poor power quality.
Modern power systems face significant challenges, including highly nonlinear dynamic behavior, unexpected bifurcations, faults, distortions, and chaotic disturbances. These issues often arise from natural hazards, large-scale disruptions, and complex interactions between conventional electrical machinery and emerging converter-based technologies—from renewable energy sources to electrified transportation and beyond.
Our group is dedicated to developing innovative solutions that address these challenges, with the goal of enhancing the resilience and performance of power systems and their components in the 21st century.

- Dr. Moses Presents at Utah Valley University i-ETC ConferenceDr. Moses presented the paper “An Experimental Wind Farm Emulator with a Dual Variable-Speed Drive Configuration” on behalf of Noah Gruman (Oklahoma Gas & Electric Corp) and Dr. Clemens (Flensburg University of Applied Science, Germany). The paper was presented at the Intermountain Engineering Technology and Computing Conference (i-ETC) May 8-10 2025 hosted by Utah Valley University (UVU). Dr. Moses had the pleasure of reuniting with renowned expert and former doctoral advisor, Professor Mohammad Masoum, Department… Read more: Dr. Moses Presents at Utah Valley University i-ETC Conference
- Launching of New Laboratory Name – Power Quality and Resilience LabThe original experimental laboratory established by Dr. Moses in 2017 at the University of Oklahoma has steadily evolved, with an increasing emphasis on power system resilience and power quality. Before this initiative, OU had lacked a dedicated experimental research facility for power systems for several decades. To better reflect the focus and identity of Dr. Moses’ research efforts, the group is being relaunched as the Power Quality and Resilience Laboratory (PQR Lab). Also referred to… Read more: Launching of New Laboratory Name – Power Quality and Resilience Lab
- Substation Tour of Oklahoma Electric Cooperative (OEC) Solar GardenThank you to Oklahoma Electric Cooperative for hosting Dr. Moses’ students from OU on a wonderful tour of their solar garden facility in Norman. Particularly, thank you to Nick Shumaker (OEC – Manager of System Engineering) for educating us all on the practicalities of integrating renewables and improving resilience of the power system.
- Dr. Moses Awarded the Gerald Tuma Presidential ProfessorshipDr. Paul Moses received the Gerald Tuma Presidential Professorship on April 10th 2025.
- Congratulations to Doctoral Student Srijana Shrestha for Showcasing Her Research at the CERAWeek ConferenceDoctoral student Srijana Shrestha attended the CERAWeek Conference hosted by S&P Global in Houston, Texas U.S. on the 10th to 14th of March 2025. She was selected along with three OU graduate students to represent the next generation of innovators in energy engineering. Experience: “CERAWeek Conference is the biggest conference in the energy sector where business executives, industries, researchers and policy makers meet and share ideas about the future of energy. This year, I had… Read more: Congratulations to Doctoral Student Srijana Shrestha for Showcasing Her Research at the CERAWeek Conference
- Guest Speaker: Noah Gruman (Oklahoma Gas & Electric Corp.) Speaks in Protection Systems ClassA big thank you to Noah Gruman, who works at Oklahoma Gas and Electric Corp. (OG&E) as a Protection Coordination Engineer. He kindly volunteered to speak in Dr. Moses’ Power Systems Protection graduate class about his experiences in the power engineering industry. Noah is a former OU Alum who worked in this group’s research lab and helped develop hardware for testing new forms of protection system relaying. Students taking the class are also benefiting from… Read more: Guest Speaker: Noah Gruman (Oklahoma Gas & Electric Corp.) Speaks in Protection Systems Class
