Tarek Elgindy is a member of the Transmission & Distribution Interactions Group within the Grid Planning and Analysis Center at NREL. Tarek has worked extensively on managing large electrical distribution datasets and understanding the impact of network structures and designs on power quality, primarily for quasi-static timeseries analysis. His research interests include developing market structures for distribution networks, developing tools for managing and cleaning electrical infrastructure data, and understanding the interactions between distribution and transmission systems with high penetrations of distributed energy resources.
