Fernando Lanas Graduate Researcher, The

University of Melbourne

Exploring day-ahead forecast methods on highly granular household active power for export limit allocation

Fernando Lanas studied for his Bachelor’s and Master’s degree at the University of Chile, focusing on computer intelligence solutions to facilitate the integration of renewable energies at medium and low voltages. In 2022 he started his PhD at the University of Melbourne, focusing on high-granularity household forecasting using smart meter data.

Michael Liu Research Fellow, The University of Melbourne

Electrical model validation of real low-voltage feeders using smart meter data

Michael Liu is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with The University of Melbourne (Australia). He is an expert in the three-phase modelling and analysis of electricity distribution networks, distributed energy resources (DER) coordination schemes and advanced optimisation techniques. His expertise has led to 22 peer-reviewed publications and 6 technical reports across industry projects. Michael holds a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering since 2012 and a PhD in Electrical Engineering since 2020, both from The University of Melbourne.

Saeede Nazari Goldar PhD candidate, Monash University

Security-constrained

Saeede Nazari is an engineer and a first year PhD student at Monash university. Her research explores the techno-economic aspects of the integrated generation, storage and transmission expansion planning of power systems. Prior to arriving at Monash, Saeede completed a Master degree at Control system engineering from Amirkabir university of technology, Tehran, Iran and worked for various industries within Australia and overseas. In 2022 she was the recipient of the Zema energy studies scholarship.
