About
Ehab El-Saadany is an Electrical and Computer Engineering Professor and a member of the Power and Energy Systems Group at the University of Waterloo.
Professor El-Saadany’s research areas of interest include performance evaluation and control of distributed systems with high penetration levels of distributed generation, smart grids operation and control; and analysis and control of wind based distributed generation. He is also interested in the development of new control algorithms for the distributed generation interface in grid-connected and micro-grid systems.
Professor El-Saadany’s research work also involves the monitoring, identification and classification of power quality issues in distributed systems with emphasis on smart grid applications and the utilization of distributed generation as a tool for power quality and voltage stability improvement.
In addition to his many accomplishments, Professor El-Saadany was the recipient of the Early Researcher Award Province of Ontario in 2007. He is a co-holder of three patents, as well as a senior member of the IEEE and a referee and reviewer for various journals and conferences. In 2009 Dr. El-Saadany received the Canada Research Chair (CRC) award for his work on Distributed Generation integration and in 2014 Dr. El-Saadany received a second CRC for his innovative work on Smart Distribution Systems.
