Lukas Ortmann is a PhD student at the Automatic Control Laboratory (IfA) at ETH Zürich, since 2018. His research is at the interconnecting of feedback optimization and electrical power grids. On the theoretical side of his research he analyzes this feedback interconnection of a physical system with optimization algorithms. On the application side he is interested in how such controllers can be used to solve current and future challenges in the electrical power grid.

Florian Dörfler is an Associate Professor at the Automatic Control Laboratory at ETH Zurich. My general research interests are centered around distributed control and optimization in complex, cyber-physical, and networked systems with applications to smart power grids, robotic coordination, and social networks. Topics of recent interest include stability and control in low-inertia power grids, online feedback optimization with applications to power systems operation, distributed and plug-and-play control and optimization, data-driven control, social network dynamics and formation, and synchronization in complex networks.

Jean Maeght received the M.S. degree in mathematics in 1997 from both Orsay (Paris XI) and Toulouse Universities, France. In 2000 he received the Ph.D. degree in mathematical optimization applied to medical imaging from Toulouse University. After working as a consultant specializing in applications of optimization to various industrial fields, he joined RTE, the French Transmission System Operator. In the R&D department, he is focusing on coordination and optimal power flow methods.

Patrick Panciatici (M'06) received the Electrical Engineering degree from the French École Supérieure d'Electricité (Supélec) in 1984. He joined EDF R&D in 1985 as a research engineer developing new methods for load forecast, and then he managed the EUROSTAG (time domain simulator) Project and CSVC (Coordinated Secondary Voltage Control) project. He joined RTE (http://www.rte-france.com), the French Transmission System Operator in 2003, participating in the creation of the department internal R&D department “Methods and Support”. He was the head of a team which develops real-time and operational planning tools for RTE, and ensured operational support for the use of these tools from 2003 to 2011. He is now scientific advisor in R&D-I division of RTE. Mr. Panciatici is a member of CIGRE and SEE as well as the “R&D plan” ENTSO-E (www.entso-e.org) Working Group. He is RTE's representative in PSERC. He is involved in several European Projects (PEGASE, OPTIMATE, TWENTIES, iTesla, and e-HIGHWAY2050).
