About the Author

Dr. Anuradha Tomar currently working as Assistant Professor in Instrumentation & Control Engineering Division of Netaji Subhas University, Delhi, India. Dr. Tomar has completed her Postdoctoral research in Electrical Energy Systems Group, from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), the Netherlands and has successfully completed European Commission's Horizon 2020, UNITED GRID and UNICORN TKI Urban Research projects. She has completed her PhD in Electrical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, India. Her areas of research interest are Operation & Control of Microgrids, Photovoltaic Systems, Renewable Energy based Rural Electrification, Congestion Management in LV Distribution Systems, Artificial Intelligent & Machine Learning Applications in Power System, Energy conservation and Automation. She has authored or co-authored many research papers in Journals/Conferences of repute. She is an Editor for books with International Publication like Springer, Elsevier. Dr. Tomar is Senior member of IEEE, Life member of ISTE, IETE, IEI, and IAENG.Dr. Phuong Nguyen is Associate Professor with the research group Electrical Energy Systems at the TU/e department of Electrical Engineering. His research interests include applications of ICT in smart energy systems, distributed state estimation, control and operation of the power system, distributed and computational intelligence, and applications in the future power delivery system. He is Founder of the digital Power & Energy Systems lab (digi-PES) which aims to enable an energy transition from micro-energy grids towards the future integrated energy system. This laboratory environment is a cyber-physical ecosystem for students and researchers to explore innovations in various energy-related aspects of (but not limited to) nano/micro-grids, local energy communities, local flexibility/energy markets, optimal power/energy flow, and congestion management. Hand-in-hand with emerging (big) data and Internet of things (IoT) domains, such research provides a foundation for comprehensive data-driven and inter-dependency models of energy system integration.Dr. Sukumar Mishra is Professor and Associate Dean R&D at Indian Institute of Technology Delhi and has won many accolades throughout his academic tenure of 27 years.
