Reactive Power Control in AC Power Systems / Power Systems (PDF)

published several papers on the application of intelligent algorithms in AC power systems in international conferences and journals. His research interests include the application of heuristic methods in power systems, reactive power control, uncertainties in power systems, smart grids, renewable energies, and power systems dynamics and control.
Nicu Bizon, obtained a degree in electronic engineering from the "Politehnica" University of Bucharest, Romania, in 1986, and his Ph.D. in automatic systems and control from the same university, in 1996. First, he worked in hardware design at Dacia Renault SA, Romania, and is currently a professor at the University of Pitesti, Romania, where he has been the dean of the Faculty of Electronics, Communication and Computers since 2012. He was also head of the University Research Department (2004-2008) and executive director of the Research Centre "Modeling and Simulation Processes and Systems" (2008-2012), where he was involved in several research projects in the field of green energy. He is the editor of seven books in the field of green energy, hybrid power sources and power converters. His current research interests include the broad area of nonlinear systems, on both dynamics and control applied in the green energy field. He has authored or co-authored over 150 papers in international journals and conference proceedings. He is the general chair and proceedings' editor of the "Electronics, Computers and Artificial Intelligence - ECAI" conference and a member of the editorial/technical board of several international journals and conferences. He has been an IEEE member since 2006 and was the chair of the Management of Technical Activities for IEEE Romania Section (2012). He is recipient of the "Tudor Tanasescu" award of the Romanian Academy (2013).
