Navid Haghdadi

Dr Navid Haghdadi is an ACAP Research Fellow at the Centre for Energy and Environmental Markets (CEEM) within the School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), and serves as a Solar Data Analyst at the Australian PV Institute (APVI). His work focuses on data-driven analysis of renewable energy integration, particularly photovoltaics, and electricity market design.

His educational background includes:

• PhD in Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering from UNSW
• Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (Power Systems) from the University of Tehran
• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Tehran

Navid's research centers on photovoltaics and distributed generation, applying data analysis and pattern recognition to investigate technical and economic impacts of solar energy on electricity networks. He specializes in designing cost-reflective electricity tariffs and analyzing consumer behavior in response to market structures. His methodology emphasizes large-scale dataset analysis from distributed energy resources and national electricity markets.

His publications over the past five years reveal consistent focus on electricity market design, distributed PV integration, and data-driven energy system analysis. Key trends include grid stability under high renewable penetration, tariff structure optimization, and open-source tool development for market analysis—demonstrating practical applications for policy formulation.

Navid Haghdadi's advising and grant activities are not publicly detailed in available sources.

He actively contributes to CEEM's research ecosystem, developing critical tools like NEMOSIS (NEM Open Source Information Service) and the Tariff Design and Analysis Tool. His workshop leadership—including the 2019 Tariff Design Workshop at UNSW CBD Campus and 2018 CEEM Distributed Energy Tools workshops—highlights his role in bridging academic research with industry implementation for Australia's energy transition.
