Smart Grids

Interview with Antonio Gómez-Expósito

Back another month with another expert interview on the energy challenges humanity faces on our way to a NetZero future. Electricity transmission and distribution needs to improve its infrastructure and adapt to the renewable deployment we already have and the coming one. The concept of Smart grids is necessary to plan our future grid.


In April, our manager of Power Electronics, Adolfo Ausín, an industrial engineer with a Master’s Degree in Electronic Systems, will interview Antonio Gómez-Expósito. Antonio is a Professor of Electrical Engineering at the School of Engineering (ETSI) of the University of Seville. He is a member of the Power and Energy Society (PES) and, during his vast career, he has received several awards such as the ‘Outstanding Power Engineering Educator Award’, the Gold Badge from the Spanish Association for the Development of Electrical Engineering or the Research and Technology Transfer Award from the Andalusian Regional Government.
