Overview
Meysam Qadrdan is a Professor of Energy Networks and Systems at Cardiff University. He is an Industrial Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering. He was an EPSRC-UKRI Innovation Fellow from 2018 to 2022.
His research covers the expansion and operational planning of interdependent energy networks at different scales from community to national level. Meysam Qadrdan develops optimisation and simulation modelling tools to investigate:
- Cross-sectoral flexibility to support the operation of low carbon power systems
- Interactions between gas, electricity and heat supply systems
- Expansion planning of energy infrastructure under uncertainty
- Whole-system impacts of heat decarbonisation pathways
Meysam Qadrdan is an Associate Editor of the IET Energy Systems Integration journal.
