• My current research interests include sizing microgrids, a vital aspect of ensuring their optimal functionality. This involves careful analysis of distributed generation units (renewable and non-renewable), both in standalone configurations and those integrated with the main grid. In addition, developing energy management strategies within microgrids using advanced methodologies utilizing artificial intelligence, with the aim of coordinating the energy flow within microgrids. This dynamic approach ensures efficient energy distribution and meets the demands of the grid and its consumers. Lastly, my research extends into the field of energy storage systems, an area pivotal for the stability and sustainability of any energy network. This includes exploring both traditional battery storage and innovative hydrogen storage solutions.​​
