Dr. Shahab Dehghan is a Lecturer in Power Systems at the Electrical Power Group in the School of Engineering at Â鶹´«Ã½. Over the past decade, he has conducted research on modelling and analysing power and energy systems, intending to make future energy networks more sustainable, resilient, reliable, and cost-effective under static and dynamic techno-economic constraints. This includes the design of uncertainty-aware data-driven tools for investment and operation planning in multi-vector net-zero emission energy systems, transmission and distribution networks, and microgrids, with a specific focus on the integration of renewable resources, electric vehicles, storage systems, and power-to-gas/gas-to-power technologies as flexible sources. His research involves the development of several practical software packages, including an open-source Python-based Energy Planning () model developed at the University of Leeds for creating sustainable microgrids in remote areas and a Whole-Electricity System Investment Model (WeSIM) developed at Imperial College London for creating net-zero emission whole energy systems.
