SHORT CV:
Dr. Anastasios (Tasos) Kyritsis received the Diploma of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the PhD degree in Electrical Engineering from University of Patras, Greece in 2003 and 2009 respectively. He specialized in the field of Electric Power Systems and carried out a Doctoral Thesis on the analysis and design of power electronic converters for the interconnection of PV systems to the low voltage electrical network.
In August 2020 he joined the Department of Environment of Ionian University as an Assistant Professor in the field of electricity production from solar PV and wind power. Dr. Kyritsis is member of the Environmental Physics, Energy and Environmental Biology Lab of the Department of Environment. He has taught or is currently teaching courses on renewable energy sources, power production-transmission-distribution, electrical installations, physics, scientific software, and hydrology. Dr. Kyritsis has published 48 scientific and technical papers, cited by more than 1000 times in the international scientific bibliography (h-index 12). He is co-author of two chapter books and he holds one patent for active anti-islanding detection in impedance source inverters.
From December 2007 to August 2020, he worked as senior researcher for the Greek Centre for Renewable Energy Sources and Saving, in the Department of PVs and Distributed Generation, participating in the writing, management and implementation of dozens of research projects funded by National and European resources. An indicative selection of projects is listed below: “EU-DEEP”, “More Microgrids”, “ERA-NET SmartGrids”, “DERlab”, DERri”, “HiPe-PV”, “Install+RES”, “BFIRST”, “Smart Build”, “ECOMARINE”, “ELECTRA IRP”, “EU HEROES”, “ERIGRID” and “GIFT”. The objectives of the projects were: i) development of smart power electronic converters for the interconnection of RES units to the electrical networks, ii) smart grids and micro-grids, iii) electrification of onshore, air and marine transportations for fuel savings and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, iv) smart nZEB and ZEB buildings, v) evaluation, testing and characterization of innovative RES products, vi) energy communities and development of new business models for the electricity market, vii) training of professionals in the field of RES.
Dr. Kyritsis is member of the Technical Chamber of Greece and member of the special scientific committee on “Electromechanical Energy Conversion and Power Electronics” of Technical Chamber of Greece from 2005 to 2010. He is a reviewer on several scientific journals and conferences as well as an evaluator of research projects.
