Sergi Obrador Rey is an energy engineer, with extensive knowledge of the hierarchy, structure, and operation of the electrical market sector, as well as the integration of renewable energy with it, with energy storage systems highlighted. In addition, he focused his master’s studies on electrical energy, electronics, industrial control, and telecommunications systems, to extend his know-how in these areas. He has performed studies in which he gained specific technical skills in microelectronic systems design (e.g., PCB development, control, monitoring). He has professional experience in different end-to-end turnkey renewable energy projects areas, as well as in the automotive sector. Currently, he is working as a first-stage researcher and project engineer at the Catalonia Institute for Energy Research (IREC), while he is undertaking his Ph.D. studies in collaboration with Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Barcelona, Spain, in the field of advanced physics-based Reduced-Order Model (ROM) implementation into Battery Management Systems (BMSs). His research interest is generally focused on the renewable energies and sustainability fields, specifically the ones closely related to groundbreaking energy storage topics to be integrated into a smart grid environment.

Dr. Lluc Canals Casals received his Master’s Degree in Industrial Engineering from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Barcelona, Spain, in 2005. After some years working in the automotive industry, he received his doctorate in electric vehicle battery aging from the Universitat Politcnica de Catalunya (UPC) in 2016. After finishing his Ph.D. studies, he worked at IREC (Catalonia Institute for Energy Research) as a post-doc (2017–2020). Since 2023, he has held the position of Associate Professor and is currently working at the Department of Project and Construction Engineering, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). He is the author of 35 scientific publications in indexed journals.

Dr. Levon Gevorkov is a post-doctoral researcher at the Catalonia Institute for Energy Research (IREC). He was educated at the Ivane Javakhishvili State University of Tbilisi, where he received B.S. and M.S. degrees in radio-physics and electronics, in 2001 and 2003, respectively. He received his Ph.D. degree in electric drives and power electronics in 2017 from Tallinn University of Technology. His main scientific interests lie in the fields of electric drives, renewable energy, battery storage, power electronics, pumping systems, and fault-tolerant control strategies for electric drives.

Dr. Lázaro V. Cremades Oliver has held a Ph.D. in Chemical Sciences from the Universitat de les Illes Balears (Spain) and a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the ENSIGC (Institut National Politechnique de Toulouse, France) since 1987. Following his doctorate in France, he embarked on a post-doctoral research role in the Department of Engineering Projects at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Industrial de Barcelona (ETSEIB) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). During 1988–1989, he contributed to IDOM, a prominent Spanish engineering company. Presently, he serves as a Full Professor in the Department of Project and Construction Engineering at ETSEIB-UPC, directing the Sustainable Mobility Laboratory since June 2007 and leading the GIIP research group since March 2017. A member of the Spanish Association of Project Management and Engineering (AEIPRO), Dr. Cremades has been instrumental in directing Ph.D. programs in “Project Engineering: Environment, Safety, Quality, and Communication” and “Project and Systems Engineering” at the UPC from 2000 to 2017. His administrative roles include Deputy Director of International Relations of ETSEIB and positions like Socrates Coordinator and Academic Director at UNITECH between 2005 and 2013. His published works are mainly related to modeling, measurement, and control of air pollution, environmental impact, sustainability, and the methodology of engineering projects.

Dr. Lluís Trilla received his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Barcelona, Spain, in 2013. Since November 2013, he has been a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Catalonia Institute for Energy Research (IREC), in Barcelona, Spain. He has a position as a Deputy Head of Power Systems. He is developing industrial and public projects focusing on the application of control systems to energy storage systems and renewable energy systems.
