1/4 My research interests are in the areas of power system optimization and control, grid integration of distributed energy resources including renewables and energy storage systems (ESS), distribution system optimal voltage regulation, and power markets and power system economics. I conduct fundamental and applied research on efficient grid integration of distributed energy resources from both...

Energy intensive industries, such as the bulk chemical industry, are facing major challenges and adopting strategies to face these challenges. This paper investigates options for clusters of chemical process plants to decrease their energy and emission footprints. There is a wide range of technologies and process integration opportunities available for achieving these objectives, including (i) ...

One of the big concerns of big cities is facing with the increase of fossil fuel vehicles in the roads. The cars intensify greenhouse gas emission in civic centers. One approach to reduce the emission is replacing the cars by Plug-In Electric Vehicles (PEVs). In spite of reducing the emission, PEVs have some adverse effect on electric distribution networks. Technical challenges such as load and...
