Dr. Zahra Hajabdollahi Ouderji

I specialize in modeling, dynamic simulation, and optimization of heat pumps integrated with thermal energy storage (TES) to enhance energy flexibility and peak load shifting. Holding a PhD in Mechanical Engineering, I have extensive expertise in energy system modeling, multi-vector energy systems and optimization techniques for sustainable energy applications.

My work begins with conducting dynamic simulations to analyze heat pump behavior under various operating conditions. These simulations provide insights into system performance and are essential for developing a robust digital twin framework that accurately represents real-world operations.

To bridge the gap between simulations and physical performance, I will calibrate and refine digital models using experimental data. This ensures that the digital twin remains adaptive and responsive to real-time conditions, improving accuracy and reliability.

Building on these calibrated models, I develop advanced control strategies for future environmental conditions anticipate to enhance system efficiency, optimize decision-making, and enable intelligent, real-time energy management.

By integrating advanced simulations, ML-driven calibration, and optimized control strategies, I contribute to the development of smarter, more resilient energy solutions for sustainable energy management.
