Fabrice LocmentFabrice LOCMENT received the Dipl.Ing. degree in Electrical Engineering from Polytech Lille, Ecole polytechnique universitaire de Lille, France, in 2003, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the Université des Sciences et Tecnologies de Lille, France, in 2003 and 2006, respectively. Since 2008, he has been an Associate Professor with the Université de Technologie de Compiègne, France. Since December 2015 he obtained the HDR degree in Electrical Engineering from Université de Technologie de Compiègne, France, the highest French academic title. The obtaining of HDR, accreditation to supervise research, confers official recognition of the high scientific level and capability to optimally manage a research strategy in a sufficiently wide scientific field. His current research interests include designing, modeling, and control of electrical systems, particularly photovoltaic and wind turbine. He published more than 50 refereed scientific and technical papers in international journals and conferences, with over 450 citations (SCOPUS) on topics such as renewable energy systems, including microgrids, photovoltaic and wind powered systems, maximum power point tracking, and energetic macroscopic representation modeling. Fabrice LOCMENT was involved in several national research projects funded by agencies and sponsors including the CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research), ADEME (The French Environment and Energy Management Agency), FEDER (European Fund for Regional Economic Development), and CRP (Picardie Regional Council). Fabrice LOCMENT has reviewed projects of various scientific French national research organizations and articles for many international journals and conferences. He has directed and co-supervised many dozens of Ms.Eng. and PhD theses dissertations. He has participated in many academic councils and department committees. During last academic years he served as director of Dipl.Ing. degree major "Integrated Technical Systems". Read More Read Less
