Rate My Professor Michael Negnevitsky

Professor Michael Negnevitsky holds the position of Chair in Power Engineering and Computational Intelligence in the School of Engineering at the University of Tasmania, where he also serves as Director of the Centre for Renewable Energy and Power Systems. He earned his B.S.E.E. (Hons.) and Ph.D. degrees from the Byelorussian University of Technology in Minsk, Belarus, in 1978 and 1983, respectively. His research focuses on smart grids, power system security, demand response, and isolated and remote area power systems featuring high renewable energy penetration. Professor Negnevitsky has produced over 400 research publications, encompassing 91 journal papers, more than 300 conference papers, 12 book chapters, two books—including Artificial Intelligence: A Guide to Intelligent Systems, translated into Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Greek—nine edited conference proceedings, and four patents for inventions. His scholarly impact is evidenced by over 17,000 Google Scholar citations and an h-index of 71.

Recognized for his contributions, Professor Negnevitsky received the IEEE PES Prize Paper Award and three Best Paper Awards from IEEE IAS, and was elevated to IEEE Fellow in 2023 for advancements in AI techniques for controlling isolated hybrid power systems. He is also a Fellow of Engineers Australia and the International Academy, Research, and Industry Association. In leadership roles, he chairs the IEEE PES Energy Development and Power Generation Committee, the IEEE PES International Practices Subcommittee, and the IEEE PES Working Group on High Renewable Energy Penetration in Remote and Isolated Power Systems. Additionally, he contributes to multiple CIGRE working groups on system performance, distribution systems, and battery energy storage impacts. Professor Negnevitsky has delivered invited lectures at institutions such as ETH-Zurich, Tokyo Institute of Technology, University of Birmingham, and Arizona State University.
