Dora He

Dr. Dora He is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at The Australian National University's School of Engineering. She holds a PhD and specializes in smart grid technologies, demand response strategies, and optimization modeling. Her research focuses on battery scheduling, stochastic scheduling, and the integration of electric vehicles (EVs) into energy systems.

Research Interests:

• Smart Grids and Energy Storage Solutions
• Optimization of Residential and Commercial Energy Demand
• Virtual Power Plants and Community Battery Systems
• Real-Time Pricing Mechanisms and Scalable Algorithms
• Cybersecurity in Smart Grid Infrastructure

Her recent work includes analyzing potential benefits of neighborhood batteries and comparing them with virtual power plants, as well as developing fast algorithms for large-scale demand scheduling under real-time pricing. A notable project (2023-2024) explores maximizing consumer benefits from community batteries through targeted research and knowledge sharing.

Advising and Grants:

• Project: 'Keeping the community in community batteries' funded from June 2023 to April 2024

Labs/Teams: Engaged with energy systems research teams at ANU, focusing on grid optimization and renewable energy integration.
