Overview
Morteza Shafiekhani is an energy analyst with +8 years of academic and industrial research experience working on techno-economic aspects of power systems. He graduated in Aug. 2019 with a doctorate degree in electrical power engineering. He is currently a postdoctoral research associate with the School of Engineering, Cardiff University, Cardiff, UK. His research covers the expansion and operational planning of interdependent energy networks at different scales from community to national level.
He develops optimisation and simulation modelling tools to investigate:
-
Electricity markets and energy economics
-
Peer-to-peer electricity and heat trading mechanisms
-
Cross-sectoral flexibility to support the operation of low carbon power systems
-
Interactions between gas, electricity and heat supply systems
-
Expansion planning of energy infrastructure under uncertainty
-
Decision-making under uncertainty in net-zero power and energy systems
