Prof. Hrvoje Pandzic

I received my MAsters and PhD degrees from the University of Zagreb Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing in 2007 and 2011. During my PhD studies I was a visiting researcher at University of Castilla-La Mancha under the supervision of Prof. Antonio Conejo. After graduation, I was a Post-doctoral Researcher at the University of Washington, Seattle, WA, where I worked on project Energy Positioning: Control and Economics under the supervision of Prof. Daniel Kirschen. Currently, I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Power and Energy Systems at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing University of Zagreb. My research interests cover integration of renewable energy sources, unit commitment models, energy markets, power system planning and analysis, and integration of electric vehicles and storage systems. My industry experience is based on over 120 technical studies I have been involved in. These include connection of renewable energy sources, energy storage, conventional power plants and large customers to distribution and transmission networks (capacities range from 10 kW to couple of hundreds of MW), electricity market design, hydro power plant maintenance scheduling, distribution network planning, induced voltage measurements on transmission power lines, various testings of earthing systems, relay protection setup, and more.
