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. I have combined renewable technologies with fuel cells, electrolyzers, thermoelectric materials, and conventional systems for the production of power, hydrogen, desalinated water, cooling, and heating.
