Yi Zong

Dr. Yi Zong is a Senior Researcher at the Department of Wind and Energy Systems, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), specializing in renewable energy integration, power-to-X technologies, and demand response systems. His work bridges theoretical control strategies with practical applications in wind-dominated energy systems.

• Current Projects: DTWO (Digital Twins for Offshore Wind), P2X-Risø (Energy Harvesting), and ECoClay (Electric Calcination of Clay)

Research interests include:

• Power-to-Hydrogen systems and alkaline electrolyzer optimization
• Model Predictive Control for microgrids and thermal energy storage
• Demand response in industrial processes (cement industry) and smart buildings
• Dynamic modeling of reversible solid oxide cells and hybrid energy storage

Recent publications focus on:

• Advanced control algorithms (decentralized event-triggered, adaptive)
• Techno-economic analysis of hydrogen and industrial electrification
• Integration of wind and solar with energy storage systems
• Flexibility quantification in multi-carrier energy systems

Active collaborations span European research institutions and industry partners, emphasizing cross-sectoral energy system integration.
