Research Interests

Dr. Elsawy specializes in advanced control frameworks for isolated low-inertia microgrids with high renewable energy penetration. He is currently developing theUnified Coordinated Control and Management Framework (UCCMF)at HITSZ — a four-layer architecture integrating:

  • Load Frequency Control (LFC) and Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR)
  • Linear Active Disturbance Rejection Control (LADRC)
  • Adaptive Virtual Inertia Control (AVIC)
  • AI-driven Energy Management Systems (AI-EMS)
  • Fractional-Order Control and Metaheuristic Optimization (I-GWO, SPO, ARO)
  • Deep Reinforcement Learning for Active Distribution Networks
  • Isolated Microgrids incorporating PV, Wind, Fuel Cell, and BESS
