Researcher | University of Kashan | Iran
Dr. Nader Tarashandeh is a power systems researcher and lecturer whose work bridges advanced academic research and applied energy system development. With extensive experience in power system operation, electricity markets, and energy policy, his research primarily focuses on decentralized and peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading, flexible reserve exchange mechanisms, and the integration of renewable energy within secure grid operations.Dr. Tarashandeh has authored multiple peer-reviewed papers in leading journals, including Applied Energy, Renewable Energy, Journal of Energy Storage, and Utilities Policy, as well as a book chapter published by Elsevier. His scholarly contributions have earned more than 59 citations with an h-index of 3 (Scopus). He collaborates closely with the Iran Grid Management Company (IGMC), where his research supports industrial projects on generation planning, network security, and structural reforms for Independent System Operators (ISOs).As a lecturer at the University of Kashan (2020–2024) and a member of the Energy Working Group of the Esfahan National Elites Foundation, Dr. Tarashandeh has combined academic expertise with practical engineering experience to advance Iran’s energy transition agenda. His recent work proposes innovative decentralized frameworks for simultaneous energy, reactive power, and reserve exchanges, contributing to the design of more resilient and market-oriented power systems.Recognized as the Top Student Researcher of 2023 by the University of Kashan, Dr. Tarashandeh continues to promote sustainable, secure, and technology-driven energy systems through his research, teaching, and industrial collaborations, demonstrating a strong commitment to shaping the future of intelligent and decentralized electricity markets worldwide.
