Curriculum Vitae
Addressing quite timely challenges in energy automation systems, while working with prestigious academic and industrial teams pushes me always forward.

Hossein Sekhavatmanesh was a senior scientist joined to the project of the National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) Automation in November 2020. He previously worked on the operational planning of power systems at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne  (EPFL), as a PhD. During his PhD, Hossein was involved in a joing industrial-academic project, named, Smart Homes and Smart Grids. His developments during this project were published as 7 IEEE transaction journal papers and 3 peer-reviewed conference papers.

Hossein took up a position at Enerpeak in 2022.

Layout optimization for decentralized operation of a network of power converters

Silvia Mastellone, Giancarlo Ferrari-Trecate

Summary

The project addresses the question of optimal system layout for facilitating decentralized control and optimal operation of a network of power converters with generators, storages and loads. Special emphasis is placed on the system capability of operating in a decentralized fashion to meet specific local control objectives (e.g. keeping the local voltage within prescribed limits) and system-wide control objectives (e.g. fair proportional load sharing among the inverters, provision of ancillary services). Sensitivity analysis will enable to define the boundaries of a completely decentralized structure and where adding a hierarchical level enables a significant performance improvement.
