Vasilis Kleftakis Email & Phone Number

Dr. Vasileios Kleftakis received his Diploma and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). His Ph.D. research area was LVDC systems focusing on DC Microgrids and DC railway systems. His research interests also include: Real-Time simulation, Distributed Generation, Power Plant Controllers for RES & BESS integration, Microgrids, Wide Area Management Systems (WAMS) through synchrophasors, management of regenerative energy (braking energy) and storage integration into DC railway systems. He was a member of CIGRE WG C6.30 “The Impact of Battery Energy Storage Systems on Distribution Networks”. Moreover, he was a member at IEC System evaluation Group committee (IEC-SEG4) with title ”Low Voltage Direct Current Applications, Distribution and Safety for use in Developed and Developing Economies”. He was a member at the Ad Hoc Committee on Electric Railway Systems (IEEE VTS Society) and member to the CIRED 2019-1 Working Group on DC Distribution Networks. He has participated in several European projects (e.g. Sustainable, DERri, NobelGrid) and national projects. Moreover, he has earned an expenditure grant for patent registration (Islanding detection device in DC and AC distribution networks) from Bodossaki foundation. He is a CIGRE member since 2023 as well as member of the technical chamber of Greece.

Listed skills include Power Systems, Matlab, Distributed Generation, Renewable Energy, and 9 others.
