Jan Engelhardt

Jan Engelhardt serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Wind and Energy Systems at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), specializing in e-mobility and prosumer integration within power and energy systems. His work directly contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals through grid modernization and renewable energy integration.

His research focuses on electric vehicle-grid integration, with core expertise in battery energy storage systems, DC microgrids, and virtual power plants. Key investigation areas include smart charging architectures for EV clusters, frequency response services, phase balancing techniques, and V2X management strategies. His experimental approach combines theoretical modeling with real-world validation of control systems for enhanced grid stability.

Recent publications demonstrate a clear trend toward distributed control solutions for electric vehicle clusters, emphasizing user-centric scheduling while providing grid services. His work increasingly incorporates experimental validation of frequency control architectures and explores high-power reconfigurable battery applications for fast-charging infrastructure.

Dr. Engelhardt actively supervises PhD candidates on projects including Hybrid Energy Solutions (EV charging and battery storage synergies) and Provision of Grid Services through EV Aggregation. He participates in major EU initiatives like EV4EU (Electric Vehicles Management for Carbon Neutrality in Europe) and GREAT (GRid Enhancement for Ancillaries in Tomorrow’s power systems), securing substantial research funding through Horizon Europe frameworks.
