MENNITI Daniele
He received his degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Calabria, Cosenza / Italy, and his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Naples, Naples/Italy, in 1984 and 1989, respectively. He is associate professor at the Department of Mechanical, Energy and Management Enginnering of the University of Calabria, Italy. His research interests concern electric power system analysis, real-time control and automation. He has experience also in harmonic pollution in distribution networks. He is currently engaged in Artifi cial Intelligence in power system operation and in decentralised control for power system stabilization. Moreover, he currently participates in national and international research projects, as research group manager in Electrical Systems for Energy.
