I am an enthusiastic electrical engineer researcher based in Cyprus, with specialize in Energy Power Systems

About me

Welcome to my website!

From an early age, I remember being passionate about programming, solving computer hardware problems, and engaging with every electrical appliance that came my way. This passion drove me to study electrical and computer engineering. Since then, everything has fallen into place. I am currently a Research Assistant at the Sustainable Power System Lab of Cyprus University of Technology and a PhD candidate.

On my website, I regularly share content that I find useful throughout my learning journey. My blog covers topics such as Power, Programming, Automations, Arduino, Mathematics, and other related subjects. I aim to keep my weekly working calendar in an article style to provide consistent and valuable insights.

DENSE – Dependable Smart Energy Systems – Horizon Europe MSCA Doctoral Network

MSCA Ph.D. Student – Doctoral Candidate

As an MSCA Ph.D. Researcher under the DENSE (Dependable Smart Energy Systems) project, my research focuses on optimizing the operation of electric vehicles and heat pumps within active distribution networks. This industrial Ph.D. is conducted in close collaboration with Cyprus University of Technology and the Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC), bridging the gap between academic research and practical application in the energy sector. DENSE is a 4-year Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions-Doctoral Network (HORIZON-TMA-MSCA-DN) funded within the framework of the HORIZON EUROPE Programme. It brings together 10 partners from applied research, academia and industry in 6 different countries with the aim of implementing 12 doctoral research projects. https://www.dense-dn.eu/

Cyprus University of Technology

Sustainable Power Systems Laboratory

Researcher

Project 1: In collaboration with the TSO and DSO of Cyprus, we focus on developing technical requirements for integrating Energy Storage Systems (ESS) into the power grid. Additionally, we define technical standards for grid-forming inverters to maintain grid stability, ensuring they can operate independently and support key grid functions such as voltage and frequency regulation.
Project 2: I was involved in a project focusing on operating marginal policy for frequency reserves in Cyprus's power system. The main responsibilities were dimensioning necessary inertia, FFR, FCR, FRR, and RR reserves, which are different products of frequency control that must be considered during the scheduling of a power system's day-ahead operation.
