IEEE Fellow "for contributions to the analysis and control of power system harmonics and electric power quality," 2000.
Dr. Grady's research interests are mainly in the areas of electric power systems, with emphasis on harmonics and power quality, and on renewable energy. He regularly teaches courses in power system engineering, power electronics, and circuits. His current research projects are funded by the Office of Naval Research, the National Science Foundation, Austin Energy, and the State of Texas Energy Conservation Office (SECO). He also consults and teaches short courses for various utilities and industries on power quality-related issues.
Dr. Grady is the author of the PCFLO computer program for harmonics analysis, plus several other power system analysis programs found on this web page.
