OverviewAI-generated summary

Baher Abu Sba's research focuses on power systems analysis, particularly the transition from High Voltage Alternating Current (HVAC) to High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission in the context of renewable energy integration. His work investigates the comparative performance of HVDC and HVAC systems when incorporating photovoltaic (PV) generation, utilizing case studies on established network models. Abu Sba also explores the design and evaluation of bidirectional solid-state circuit breakers (SSCBs) for DC grid protection, with a specific emphasis on Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFET modules. His research extends to high-efficiency, high-density modular DC-DC converters, including the development of novel planar coupled inductors and high-frequency coupled inductors with distributed air gaps. He has published 13 papers, accumulating 22 citations and an h-index of 2. Abu Sba collaborates with researchers including Muhammad Fasih Uddin, Ahmed H. Ismail, Hui Cao, and Yue Zhao at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
