Masood Ebrahimi

Introduction

My main research interest is investigating conventional, renewable, and hybrid/integrated energy systems for sustainable and reliable energy transition to reach Net Zero Emissions by 2050. For this reason, I have utilized multi-criteria assessments and decision-making methods to evaluate energy systems. Renewable energy technologies have always been an essential part of my research and I have also worked on thermal-solar, thermal photovoltaic, wind power, and hydropower. My research team have combined renewable technologies with fuel cells, electrolyzers, thermoelectric materials, and conventional systems for the production of power, hydrogen, desalinated water, cooling, and heating.
