Jose R. Marti is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of British Columbia, Canada. He is known for his work in real time simulation of large power system networks. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering and a registered Professional Engineer in the Province of British Columbia. He is the leader of UBC’s Complex Systems Integration Laboratory developing real time simulation tools for optimization and decision support in multi-layered physical and human systems. Current work includes the development of a system of systems simulator i2Sim that integrates the interdependencies among multiple critical infrastructures (power, water, ICT, etc.). This work is currently being applied to disaster response coordination and operation and control of smart power distribution networks.
Alberto Borghetti received the electrical engineering degree (Hons.) from the University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy, in 1992. Since then, he has been with the Power System Group and the University of Bologna, initially as a Researcher and, since 2004, as an Associate Professor of electric power systems. His main research interests are power system analysis, with particular reference to voltage collapse, power system restoration after black-out, electromagnetic transients, optimal generation scheduling, and distribution system operation. Since 2010, he serves an editor of the IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid.
Kai Heussen is Assistant Professor in Automation and Power Systems at the Department of Electrical Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). He received his Dipl.Ing. in Engineering Cybernetics from the University of Stuttgart in 2007 and graduated with a PhD degree from DTU in 2011. He is currently engaged in teaching Intelligent Systems and several research projects on demand side management, modeling and control structure design. He also leads the Danish project RTLabOS aiming at identifying architectural patterns for the next generation of integrated smart grid lab testing and simulation infrastructure.
Sebastian Rohjans is a senior scientist at OFFIS – Institute for Information Technology focusing on interoperability aspects for automation systems in distribution grids. Further focal topics of his work are simulation frameworks, data modeling, and ICT-architecture development for future energy systems. The application of ICT-standards such as the Common Information Model (CIM), IEC 61850, and the OPC Unified Architecture is a cross-cutting key point of his overall work. In 2012 he received the PhD degree from the University of Oldenburg for his research dealing with “Semantic Service Integration for Smart Grids”. Since 2013, Dr. Rohjans is manager of the R&D group “Simulation and Automation of Complex Energy Systems”.
Sven C. Müller is a Research Associate at the Institute of Energy Systems, Energy Efficiency and Energy Economics (ie³) at TU Dortmund University. Currently he is the project leader of research unit FOR1511 “Protection and Control Systems for Reliable and Secure Operation of Electrical Transmission Systems” of the German Research Foundation (DFG). His focus of research is set on modeling and simulation of power systems, wide-area monitoring, protection and control systems and electricity markets. He received a diploma degree in industrial engineering and management at TU Dortmund University, Germany, and a Master of Science in Industrial Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, USA.
