D. Hadi Nemati

Hadi Nemati is a Predoctoral Researcher at the Institute for Research in Technology (IIT) under the School of Engineering at Comillas Pontifical University. His current position is Research Assistant focusing on electrical systems, supervised by Dr. Lukas Sigrist and Dr. Luis Rouco Rodriguez. He holds a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Shiraz University (2014) and an M.Sc. from Isfahan University of Technology (2017).

His research focuses on electricity markets, power system planning/operation, mathematical optimization, and renewable energy. He has contributed to projects like POSYTYF (Horizon 2020, 2020-2023), addressing renewable energy integration and system flexibility.

Recent work emphasizes robust optimization for renewable-based Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) in energy markets, addressing uncertainties and economic risks. He also investigates power system resilience against intentional attacks, developing multi-level planning frameworks.

Key contributions include:

• Robust bidding strategies for VPPs in ancillary service markets
• Energy storage system sizing for VPP operational mimicry
• Transmission expansion planning under cyber-physical threats

Active reviewer for international journals in electrical engineering.
