Friday, 28 February 2020
A senior lecturer in Energy Management Systems, Dr Khaled Aboalez, has been awarded a National Research Foundation (NRF) C3 rating.
According to Aboalez, the C Rating is awarded to established researchers with a sustained recent record of productivity in the field and who are recognised by their peers as having produced quality work, the core of which has coherence and attests to ongoing engagement with the field. “As a C-Rated Researcher, I will impart cutting-edge skills to the next generation of researchers whom I supervise for Masters, and Doctorate degrees, along with Post-Doctoral research fellows,” he said.
Aboalez who was awarded a PhD in Electrical Engineering degree by the Mansoura University in Egypt in May 2011 has been a Post-Doctoral fellow at the University of Pretoria in 2012 and CPUT in 2015. “I specialise in renewable energy systems optimal operation and control. My research is also extended to the artificial intelligence-based forecasting methods of the power produced by wind and photovoltaic systems…,” he added.
He is currently supervising research projects for Masters and Doctoral students at CPUT which revolve around the smart grids, microgrids, energy management, optimal operation and control of renewable energy systems. Aboalez sees the rating, which will be valid from January 2020 as a great boost to his academic and research career. “It will put me in good stead for funding applications to support my research in the field of smart grid and renewable energy systems.
“It was a long research and learning journey from Cairo to Cape Town, but it was a rewarding long walk for success,” the Egyptian national concluded.
