Gestion de l’énergie distribuée et conversion

Mohammad Babaie, École de technologie supérieure

MOHAMMAD BABAIE (Graduate Student Member, IEEE) was born in Dorud, Iran, in January 1992. He received the B.Sc. degree in electronic engineering from Sepahan Science and Technology Higher Education Institute, Isfahan, Iran, in 2013, and the M.Sc. degree in control engineering from Babol Noshirvani University of Technology, Babol, Iran, in 2016. He is currently pursuing the Ph.D. degree in power electrical engineering with the École de Technologie Superieure, University of Quebec, Montreal, QC, Canada.

He is also a member of the Groupe de Recherche en Électronique de Puissance et Commande Industrielle, University of Quebec.

He has authored or co-authored several journal and conference papers in the field of control and power electronics and holds five patents. His research interests include developing variable structure control theory, modeling, and control of power electronic converters using robust, adaptive, and intelligent control techniques, applications of the classical and metaheuristic optimization algorithms in the control theory and the power systems, developing artificial neural network training strategies with application in the power systems, and real-time control based on the FPGA and 32-bit MCUs for power electronic converters.

Camille-Laurie Normandeau, École de technologie supérieure

Camille-Laurie Normandeau a obtenu son diplôme B.Ing. en génie électrique de L’ÉTS en 2020. Pendant ses études en 2019, elle a rejoint le prof. Kamal Al-Haddad dans son laboratoire du GREPCI et a travaillé avec un étudiant à la maîtrise sur les convertisseurs multiniveaux. Depuis lors, elle a commencé sa maîtrise (M.Sc.A) sous le prof. Al-Haddad pour un projet collaboratif entre l’ÉTS, l’OPAL-RT et l’IREQ. Ses recherches portent sur la modélisation, l’optimisation et le contrôle des ressources énergétiques distribuées (RED) connectées au réseau, notamment les panneaux photovoltaïques, les systèmes de stockage d’énergie et les chargeurs pour véhicules électriques.

Gabriel Broday, Université Concordia

Gabriel Renan Broday was born in Ponta Grossa, Brazil, in 1992. He received the B. S. degree in Electronics Engineering, and the M. S. degree in Electrical Engineering, both from the Federal University of Technology of Parana, Ponta Grossa, Brazil, in 2014 and 2016, respectively. He is currently working towards the PhD degree in Electrical Engineering at Concordia University, Montréal, Canada.

Gestion transactionnelle de l'énergie

David Toquica, Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières

David Toquica received the B.S. degrees in electronic and electrical engineering from the Escuela Colombiana de Ingeniería Julio Garavito, Bogota, Colombia, in 2014 and 2015, and the master’s degree in electronic engineering from the Universidad de Los Andes, Bogota, Colombia, in 2018. He is currently pursuing the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering with the Smart Energy Research and Innovation Laboratory, Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières, QC, Canada. His research interests include energy markets, artificial intelligence applications for smarts grids, micro-grids integration, renewable energies, and energy utility theory.

Ali Alizadeh, Université Laval

Maîtrise de la demande en énergie

Mozaffar Etezadifar, Polytechnique Montréal 

During his bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering, he obtained a minor degree in Economics and Management. It led Mozaffar to establish his first startup with his co-founders in 2013. He continued his Master’s in power management. This program revealed the considerable market value of the energy optimization industry, so he decided to get involved in this field practically, by working in a well-known measurement and instrumentation company. After two years, he joined the biggest industrial startup accelerator in Iran as the development manager. He connected many tech startups in the field of energy to the firms and industries that were dealing with energy efficiency problems.

Now, Mozaffar is in his third year of studies toward a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at Polytechnique Montreal. He wants to turn his Ph.D. thesis into a Canadian startup that facilitates energy optimization in power grids by using artificial intelligence.

Matin Abtahi, Université Concordia

My research focuses on the use of machine learning techniques for enhanced cost optimality, energy flexibility and resilience in residential sector with integrated renewable technologies.  I process sensor data and use them not only to develop and calibrate control-oriented models of buildings’ HVAC consumption, but also to investigate different model-based control strategies.
