Njegov rad

His work

Ceo radni vek bavio se elektroenergetskim sistemima: kako mreža radi, kako se njome upravlja i kako se proverava da li je njen model tačan. Kroz njegove radove provlače se tri teme.

He spent his working life on power systems: how a grid runs, how it is controlled, and how to check that a model of it is right. Three threads run through his papers.

• 1992–2017

  Distributivne mreže

  Tokovi snaga, regulacija napona i kompenzacija reaktivne snage, i estimacija stanja: kako znati šta se dešava u mreži koju merimo samo na nekoliko mesta.

  Distribution networks. Power flow, voltage control and reactive power compensation, and state estimation: knowing what happens in a network that is measured in only a few places.

• 1997–2012

  Veštačka inteligencija u elektroenergetici

  Fazi logika i neuronske mreže u doktoratu 1997, neuronske mreže za dinamičke ekvivalente sistema na Northeastern-u, mnogo pre nego što je to postalo uobičajeno.

  Artificial intelligence in power systems. Fuzzy logic and neural networks in his 1997 PhD, and neural networks for dynamic equivalents of power systems at Northeastern, long before it was common.

• 2013–2021

  Modeli velikih sistema

  Redukcija dinamičkih modela i informaciona geometrija: kako proveriti i uprostiti model mreže iz merenja, sa Markom Transtrumom (BYU) i Aleksandrom Stankovićem (Tufts).

  Models of large systems. Reducing dynamic models, and information geometry: checking and simplifying a model of the grid from measurements, with Mark Transtrum (BYU) and Aleksandar Stanković (Tufts).

Njegovim rečima

In his words

Iz govora kojim se 2020. oprostio od svog profesora, Milana S. Ćalovića. From his farewell to his own teacher, Milan S. Ćalović, in 2020.

Od profesora Ćalovića sam u poslednjih 35 godina dobijao razne zadatke: domaće, ispitne, magistarski, doktorski, istraživačke, studijske i druge i trudio sam se da ih uvek uspešno uradim. Na kraju svog životnog puta profesor mi je ostavio i ovaj najteži.

Dragi i poštovani Milane, učio si nas struci, ali i životu, poštenju i lepom vaspitanju. Bio si nam profesor, ali i drug i prijatelj. Kod Tebe smo išli po savet kada je trebalo da donesemo bitne životne odluke. Bio si strog prema saradnicima, ali još strožiji prema sebi. Svi smo znali da kada zadovoljimo Tvoje kriterijume, onda je to što smo uradili svetski vredno. […] Svi smo Ti večno zahvalni za sve što smo od Tebe naučili.

Dragi Milane, uvek ćemo svetlu uspomenu na Tebe nositi u svojim srcima.

Over the last 35 years Professor Ćalović gave me all kinds of tasks: homework, exams, a master’s, a doctorate, research, studies and more, and I always tried to do them well. At the end of his life, the professor left me this one too, the hardest. Dear and respected Milan, you taught us the profession, but also life, honesty and good manners. You were our professor, but also our companion and friend. We came to You for advice when we had big decisions to make. You were strict with those who worked with you, and stricter still with yourself. We all knew that when we met Your standards, what we had done was of world value. […] We are all forever grateful to You for everything we learned from You. Dear Milan, we will always carry a bright memory of You in our hearts.
