Souhil Mouassa

Souhil Mouassa is a Spanish-based power-systems researcher who earned his PhD in 2021 from the University of Jaén, Spain, under the supervision of Dr. Francisco Jurado Melguizo. He is currently affiliated with the Department of Electrical Engineering at the same university, where he pursues advanced studies in smart-grid optimisation, renewable-energy integration and meta-heuristic algorithms.

Education

• PhD in Electrical Engineering, University of Jaén, Spain (2021)
  Thesis: Optimisation de l’écoulement de puissance par les méthodes non-conventionnelles dans les réseaux électriques intelligents (Smart Grid)

Research Interests

Mouassa’s work spans the entire spectrum of modern power-systems engineering, focusing on:

• Optimal power-flow computations for hybrid thermal-wind-solar networks
• Meta-heuristic and bio-inspired optimisation (Electric Eel, Gorilla Troops, Kepler, Bonobo, Dwarf Mongoose, Tuna Swarm, AEO, GTO, FFA, etc.)
• Integration of FACTS devices (TCSC, SVC, UPFC) to enhance grid stability and power quality
• Smart-home and smart-grid energy-management systems with storage and demand response
• Photovoltaic systems, MPPT techniques and active-power filtering under non-ideal grid conditions
• Stochastic modelling of renewable-generation uncertainty and its impact on isolated and large-scale networks
• Power-electronics control—Lyapunov-based adaptive sliding-mode schemes for DC-DC converters

Publication Profile

Between 2017 and 2025 Mouassa authored more than thirty peer-reviewed papers, concentrated in high-impact energy, power-engineering and applied-soft-computing journals. His 2024-2025 output alone includes nine articles that apply cutting-edge swarm and evolutionary algorithms to real-world optimal-power-flow and energy-management problems, demonstrating a clear trajectory toward large-scale, practical implementation of renewable-rich power systems. Notable case studies include the isolated Adrar network in Algeria and various European-scale transmission systems.
