Prof. Mohamed El Moursi is a Professor in the Electrical Engineering Department at Khalifa University, Abu Dhabi, UAE. He serves as Director of the Advanced Power and Energy Center (APEC) and Theme Director for renewable energy Integration at the Virtual Research Institute (VRI) for Sustainable Energy Production, Storage, and Utilization (funded by ASPIRE). An IEEE Fellow (Class of 2024) and Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE Power and Energy Society, he holds leadership roles in UAE's scientific community including membership in the MOHAMED BIN RASHID Scientists Council. His academic credentials include: BSc in Electrical Power Engineering from Mansoura University, Egypt (1997) MSc in Electrical Power Engineering from Mansoura University, Egypt (2002) PhD in Electrical Engineering (Power Systems/Power Electronics) from University of New Brunswick, Canada (2005) El Moursi's research pioneers renewable energy integration in modern power systems, focusing on hybrid AC/DC grid stability, AI-driven grid management, and transportation electrification. His work bridges theoretical innovation with industrial applications, particularly in grid stability assessment for high-renewable penetration systems. Key contributions include developing operational platforms like the SAVE software for UAE's national grid and REMS tools for international energy management. He has secured $27,027,129 in research funding from global sources including Europe, North America, GCC nations, and South Korea. Major projects encompass the ASPIRE-funded Virtual Research Institute, TRANSCO/Manitoba Hydro's SAVE Tool, and MIT-collaborative initiatives on grid resilience. To date, he has graduated 10 PhD and 35 MSc students, many receiving national thesis awards. His distinguished recognition includes: IEEE Fellow (2024) Khalifa Award for Education (2022) UAE Ministry of Energy R&D Award (2023) Mission Innovation Champion (2019) Abu Dhabi Technology Development Committee Gold Medal (2015) Multiple editorial awards from IEEE Transactions As APEC Director, El Moursi leads a multidisciplinary team developing cutting-edge solutions for grid modernization. His center maintains strategic partnerships with TRANSCO, ELIA GRID International, and Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, translating research into real-world grid stability and energy management systems through tools like SAVE and REMS.
