Research Project Description:
The project focuses on demand side management in electricity market. The overall goal of my research is to combine capabilities in process automation and electric power system operation to reduce energy cost on the industrial costumer side and support grid operation on the power system side. As electrical power costs are major operating expenses for several major power-intensive processes such as air separation plants, cement production, etc., there is a large potential for demand side management for industrial customers.

Research Interests: Optimization, control, machine learning and their applications in power system, process automation, etc.
