Mohammad Amin Mirzaei received a B.Sc. in electrical engineering from Ilam University, Iran in 2015, and an M.Sc. in electrical engineering from Sahand University of Technology, Tabriz, Iran in 2018. Currently, he is a research assistant at the University of Tabriz, Tabriz, Iran. The main areas of his interests are energy market-clearing, risk-based energy management, emerging energy storage technologies, demand response, and integrated energy systems. He has authored and co-authored more than 25 technical publications (more than 12 of them were published in international journals) in his domain of interest, 4 book chapters. He is currently working on multi-carrier energy systems. He also submitted more than 15 papers to international journals that related to the role of emerging energy resources in multi-energy systems. Mahdi Habibi received the B.Sc. degree from the Babol Noshirvani University of Technology, Babol, Iran, in 2014, and the M.Sc. degree from Shahid Beheshti University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, in 2016 all in electrical engineering. He is currently studying Ph.D. in power system electrical engineering at the Shahid Beheshti University of Technology, Tehran, Iran. He is a member of the SOHA Smart Energy Systems Laboratory at SBU. His research interests include the power system operation, system management under uncertainty, integration of renewable energy resources, provision of flexibility services, scheduling storage devices, and optimization models at transmission and distribution levels. Vahid Vahidinasab received the PhD in electrical engineering from Iran University of Science and Technology, Tehran, Iran. Since 2010, he has been a faculty member at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Shahid Beheshti University (SBU). He founded and managed SOHA Smart Energy Systems Laboratory at SBU. He has demonstrated a consistent track record of attracting external funds and managed several industrial projects and closely worked with several large and complex national/international projects. Since 2018 he is with the School of Engineering at Newcastle University and manages the inteGRIDy as an EU Horizon 2020 project. He is also a senior researcher of the EPSRC ActiveBuilding Centre (ABC) and leads activities in the area of control and optimisation of active buildings. He is a senior member of the IEEE, member of the IEEE Power and Energy Society (PES) as well as IEEE Smart Grid Community.
