Dr. Bakhshai is being recognized for his groundbreaking advancements as one of the first investigators to develop new power signals for grid and off-grid operations of distributed energy sources. He also proposed novel power architectures and control techniques for designing microinverters for photovoltaic systems, including control techniques that remove the need to store an electric charge for photovaltaic applications. His innovations in this area have resulted in over 250 publications and 16 patents (issued and pending).
