Rate My Professor Ayman Alhejji

Ayman Alhejji serves as Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering in the Electrical Engineering Department at Yanbu Industrial College, which is part of the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu in Saudi Arabia. His research focuses on adaptive and optimal control, as well as renewable energy power system modelling and control. He is listed on Google Scholar with over 640 citations, reflecting his contributions to the field of robust and nonlinear optimal control. Alhejji has published numerous peer-reviewed papers in international journals, demonstrating expertise in advanced control strategies for power systems and renewable energy applications. Notable among his works is the paper 'Solving the Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch Using Modified Sine Cosine Algorithm,' co-authored with M. Ebeed, S. Kamel, and F. Jurado, published in Energies in 2020, which has garnered over 120 citations. Another significant publication is 'Dynamic Modeling of Wind Turbines Based on Estimated Wind Speed,' published in Energies in 2019 with co-authors including A.G. Abo-Khalil, cited over 60 times. He has also contributed to 'Nonlinear Control Strategies for Enhancing the Performance of DFIG-Based Wind Turbine' in Energies in 2022, addressing doubly-fed induction generator systems for wind energy.

Alhejji's recent publications include 'HIL Test Verification of PDPI Control of Induction Generator for Wind Turbine Applications' in Energy Science & Engineering in 2025, co-authored with H. Benbouhenni and others, and 'Improving wind turbine performance in dual-star induction generator systems with advanced control techniques' in Heliyon in 2025 with A. Milles and colleagues. Earlier work encompasses 'Dynamic neural network-observer-based adaptive inverse control of a permanent magnet stepper motor' published in the International Journal of Modelling, Identification and Control in 2015, and 'Real-time implementation and monitoring of Standalone Microgrid with Hybrid Renewable Energy Sources' presented at IEOM conference in 2018. Additionally, he serves on the editorial board of the Yanbu Journal of Engineering and Science. His research emphasizes practical implementations such as hardware-in-the-loop testing and real-time monitoring for wind turbine and power system enhancements.
