Dr. Baseem Khan received the B.Eng. degree in electrical engineering from Rajiv Gandhi Technological University, Bhopal, India, in 2008, and M.Tech. and Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology, Bhopal, in 2010 and 2014, respectively. He is currently a Faculty Member at Hawassa University, Ethiopia, and Senior Member of the IEEE. He has published more than 125 research articles in indexed journals, and has authored and edited several books with international publishers. Dr. Khan’s research interests include power system restructuring, power system planning, smart grid technologies, meta-heuristic optimization techniques, reliability analysis of renewable energy systems, power quality analysis, and renewable energy integration. Dr. Salah Kamel received his Ph.D. from the University of Jaén, Spain (Main), and Aalborg University, Denmark (Host), in January 2014. He is currently an Associate Professor with the Department of Electrical Engineering, Aswan University, Egypt, where he is also a Leader of the Advanced Power Systems Research Laboratory (APSR Laboratory), Power Systems Research Group. His research areas include power system analysis and optimization, smart grid, and renewable energy systems. Dr Jose Luis Dominguez-Garcia holds a B.S. and M.S. in Industrial Engineering and obtained his PhD degree receiving the Extraordinary PhD award from UPC. He was a research visitor of the Institute of Energy in Cardiff University, University of Strathclyde, and University of Huddersfield, in 2011, 2016 and 2018, respectively. Currently, he is Head of the Power Systems group at Catalonia Institute for Energy Research (IREC), focusing on integration and control of renewable and power electronics, communications, distribution grid management and system resilience. He has been awarded the Distinguished Visitor Fellowship from the Royal Academy of Engineering and is an journal Editorial Board member of Electrical Engineering (Springer), Sustainability (MDPI), Clean Technology (MDPI) and Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering (Hindawi). He has been a guest Editor on two special issues and is author and co-author of 40 journal papers, 5 book chapters, two patent applications and 2 software registrations.
