Biography
Education and Experience: Ullash Kumar Rout was awarded a Bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering from Utkal University, India in 1995. He spent over 2 years (1996-1998) lecturing undergraduate electrical, mechanical and civil engineering students. He was awarded a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur, India in 2000 and a Doctorate degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Institute of Energy Economics and Rational Use of Energy (IER), University of Stuttgart, Germany in 2007. He was engaged as Senior Project associates in a project funded by Swiss Government from the year 2000-2001 jointly collaborated by AIT, Bangkok, Thailand and IIT Kanpur, India. From the year 2006 to 2009, he worked in the DNE21+ model for the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organisation (NEDO) of Japan in Kyoto. Currently he is working for ERI, UCC, Ireland and has reintegrated with the IEA ETSAP family of models, with which he worked during his doctorate degree. He has wide experience in the development of national, regional and global energy system models based on TIMES, MARKAL and MS access. He has modelled the energy system from cradle to grave for almost all energy sectors. In addition, he has experience in the field of power system stability analysis and application of FACTS devices to attenuate the voltage fluctuation.
Title of the Project: Energy Modelling – Irish TIMES
Research Interests: Energy system modelling, environmental pollutions, climate change, technology dynamics in the learning domain, and power system dynamics.
Sources of the Project Funding : Environmental Protection Agency and Sustainable Energy Ireland (SEI).
