Short Bio

Milan Prodanovic is Senior Researcher and Group LeaderHead of the Electrical Processes Unit at IMDEA Energy institute. He received his B.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Belgrade, Serbia in 1996 and obtained his Ph.D. degree from Imperial College, London, UK in 2004. From 1997 to 1999 he was engaged with GVS engineering company, Serbia, developing power electronic circuits and control algorithms for inverter and UPS systems. From 1999 to 2010 he was with Imperial College where he was engaged in a number of academic and industrial projects and activities ranging from integration of distributed generation, modelling, design and control of large scale power converters in microgrids, decentralised control and real-time simulation of power networks to energy efficiency in systems for vibration testing, educational programs and public dissemination events. Milan was work package leader in a number of national and international projects and was closely collaborating with his partners in UK, Belgium, Switzerland, Kenya and Japan. During his stay at Imperial Milan was author of several journal and conference papers that in many cases were a result of collaboration work or his graduate and doctoral student supervision. In order to provide experimental test-bed for his research, he designed and constructed an inverter based microgrid consisting of a set of three-phase inverters, distribution network model and programmable loads. Milan is holder of 3 international patent applications in the area of energy efficiency and converter control. His research interests lie in control of power electronic systems, computer-aided analysis and design of power converters, real-time control of distribution power networks and microgrids and energy efficient industrial applications.
