Bertrand Cornélusse

I am professor in "smart-microgrids" within the Montefiore research unit. I apply optimization and machine learning to applications in electric power systems. My main current interests are teaching, microgrids, multi-energy local energy communities, control in distribution networks, energy forecasting problems, 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.

My publications are available on Orbi.
