Legacy
Pai's early researches were based on power system stability, security and model reduction and his work on Model Reduction of Large-Scale Power Systems has been reported to be of significance to field of power systems.
In 1963, Pai was selected to join IIT Kanpur as one of the earliest member of the Electrical Engineering faculty. Under the guidance of economist John Kenneth Galbraith, IIT Kanpur became the first institute in India to offer Computer science education. The earliest computer courses were started at IIT Kanpur in August 1963 on an IBM 1620 system, which was flown from Princeton to Kanpur. The initiative for computer education came from the Electrical engineering department. An intense outreach program in Computer Education was established during his time at IIT Kanpur. It was during his years at IIT Kanpur, Pai published his first book, Computer Techniques in Power System Analysis.[17] His second book, Power System Stability: Analysis by the Direct Method of Lyapunov, was also published before he moved to US in 1981.[18] This was followed by five more authored books, Com Tech In Power Sys Ana,[19] Power System Dynamics and Stability,[20] Power Circuits and Electromechanics,[21] Energy Function Analysis for Power System Stability[22] and Small Signal Analysis of Integrated Power Systems, the last one published in 2016.[23] In between, he co-edited an Oxford University Press festschrift on Homi J. Bhabha titled Homi Bhabha and the Computer Revolution,[24] which was featured in the Indian edition of MIT Technology Review in May/June 2011.[25] He has also contributed chapters to books published by others[26][27][28] and has authored over 125 peer-reviewed articles;[29][30] [note 2] the online article repository of Indian Academy of Sciences has listed 107 of them.[31] He is reported to have helped organize two symposia of International Federation of Automatic Control in India and has delivered keynote or invited speeches at several science seminars in India and abroad including the Seminar on Voltage Instability in Power Network organized by the Delhi chapter of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in 1991.[32] He has also mentored a number of doctoral scholars in their studies.[5]
