Dr. Pei Huang is a Senior Lecturer in Energy Engineering at Dalarna University, Sweden, working within the Department of Information and Technology. His academic career focuses on multidisciplinary research at the intersection of energy systems, electromobility, and sustainable urban development, with significant contributions to both teaching and research in renewable energy and energy efficiency.
Dr. Huang received his Ph.D. from the City University of Hong Kong in 2017. His educational background has provided a strong foundation for his current research in energy systems and sustainable technologies, bridging engineering principles with practical applications in the energy transition.
Dr. Huang's research interests span several critical areas in modern energy systems. He specializes in peer-to-peer energy sharing, urban energy systems, and electromobility, with particular focus on electric vehicles as mobile power sources. His work also encompasses positive energy districts, district heating systems, building energy efficiency, and HVAC systems. A distinctive aspect of his research involves applying machine learning to address uncertainty in energy systems, creating more resilient and adaptive solutions for the energy transition. His multidisciplinary approach connects energy engineering with computer science, urban planning, and sustainability science.
Analysis of Dr. Huang's recent publications reveals a strong emphasis on integrating electric vehicles into energy systems as flexible resources. His work demonstrates how vehicle-to-grid technology can enhance grid resilience and enable community energy sharing through innovative solutions like the Electric Vehicle based virtual Electricity Network (EVEN). There's also a notable focus on applying artificial intelligence to optimize energy systems, particularly in data-scarce scenarios where he combines clustering analysis and transfer learning. His research bridges the gap between theoretical models and practical implementation, with several studies based on real-world data from Sweden, demonstrating immediate relevance to current energy challenges.
Dr. Huang has been highly successful in securing research funding, with approximately SEK 10 million secured for projects at Dalarna University. His current research portfolio includes:
- PI for a 2023-2026 Energy Agency project on enhancing grid resilience through electric vehicle-based virtual electricity networks (SEK 2.64 million)
- PI for a 2023-2026 FORMAS project on photovoltaic and electric vehicle utilization (3.75 million SEK, with a competitive success rate of 13.8%)
- Co-PI and national coordinator for a 2023-2026 CETPartnership project on thermal energy storage in district heating (2.32 million Euro)
- Co-PI for a 2024-2026 Swedish Energy Agency project on electric vehicles for frequency regulation (3.25 million SEK)
Dr. Huang serves on the editorial board of the journal Buildings and has published extensively, with 49 journal articles, 1 book, 5 book chapters, and 19 conference papers to his name. His research has active participation in IEA tasks, demonstrating international recognition of his expertise. In addition to his primary energy research, Dr. Huang has made significant contributions to neuroscience, particularly in Parkinson's disease diagnostics and treatment, showing the breadth of his interdisciplinary approach.
