Dr OLIVER DZOBO is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Electrical & Electronic Science Engineering at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa, since November 2016. Prior to joining the University of Johannesburg, I have been involved in various projects including the national energy efficiency audit project in Zimbabwe. I was the project leader in the energy efficiency audit of the mining and manufacturing sectors. The project involved developing baseline energy efficiency benchmarks for various industrial and residential sectors in the country and developing policy framework for the energy regulator to implement in order to promote energy efficiency in the country. Current research topics I am pursuing involves the implementation of new energy system optimization algorithms in smart grids that will provide the electricity user and the power utility with the capability to manage risk, pollutants emission, and energy efficiency directly, along with reducing costs, the possibility of taking financial positions where available, long term and inter-period Conditional Value-at risk (CVaR) constraints. This also include the use of Blockchain technology application in energy delivery between peer prosumers for optimal and secure operation of the power system network.
