Bertrand Cornélusse

I am assistant professor in "smart-microgrids" within the Montefiore research unit. I apply optimization and machine learning to practical applications in electric power systems. My main current interests are teaching, multi-energy local energy communities and home energy management systems. Before turning to microgrids, I worked on active network management in distribution systems (GREDOR Project), I lead for some time the development of Euphemia, the algorithm that is used by European Power Exchanges for clearing the day-ahead electricity market, and I developed some algorithms for the optimal scheduling of EDF's power plants. I participated to the MeryGrid project (a local energy community)

My publications are available on Orbi.

Here is some information about the master in electrical engineering and in particular the focus on electric power and energy sytems (smart grids) where I am the most active.
