Innocent Kamwa is a Canadian electrical engineer who is a professor and Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Decentralised Sustainable Electricity Grids for Smart Communities at Université Laval. He was elected a Fellow of the National Academy of Engineering in 2022.
Early life and education[edit]
Kamwa studied applied science at the Université Laval, where he studied electronic engineering. He stayed at Laval for his doctoral research, where he modelled synchronous machines.[1]
Research and career[edit]
Kamwa joined the Hydro-Québec Smart Grid Innovation program, where he spent 25 years.[2] He has worked on improving power system stability, developing intelligent algorithms for application in industry. He developed Hydro-Quebec's first Multiband Power System Stabiliser.[citation needed] In 2021, he was made a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair, and became a full professor at the Université Laval.[3]
