Nikos Hatziargyriou

Biography

Climate threats are leading to the increased deployment of renewable generation, mostly connected at the distribution level. Nikos Hatziargyriou’s field of expertise is not constrained to the renewable energy area alone, he has made fundamental contributions by pioneering the concept of Microgrids and research in the dynamic analysis of power electronic interfaced DER and in decentralized control of power systems. Hatziargyriou’s research in the dynamic analysis of power electronic-interfaced distributed energy resources (DER) and intelligent multi-agent systems have had a worldwide impact. He has been deeply involved in proving the feasibility of these concepts in laboratory environments and leading their installation in several real-world deployments in Europe.

An IEEE Life Fellow, Hatziargyriou is a professor at the National Technical University of Athens, Athens, Greece.
