Darío Slaifstein

Ph.D. thesis: “Novel hybridization strategies in HESS with redox flow batteries and high power devices”.

Supervisor: Prof. Federico Ibañez

IDC committee members: Prof. Federico Ibañez, Prof. David Pozo and Prof. Keith Stevenson

Darío graduated in Argentina from the University of Buenos Aires School of Engineering in 2019 getting his Electrical Engineer degree. His Engineering Thesis was titled “Vehicle to Grid applications and their impact on Argentina’s Energy Scenarios and Long Term Costs”. As a graduate he still collaborates as a mentor to senior students on their graduation project in the Vectores initiative. During his studies he also worked as a Teaching Assistant in several courses such as Semiconductor Physics (2015-2018), Power Generation Plants (2018-2020) and Solar Photovoltaic Technology (Fall 2020). He also held industry roles in ABB, GE and Hytech.

At Skoltech, his research is aimed to develop management systems for Hybrid Energy Storage Systems (HESS). His main work is framed under the Horizon 2020 Hyflow Project, in which Skoltech leads the modelling and power management strategies. His focus is on system identification, adaptive control and power management strategies, trying to make bridges between physical and simplified time-domain models.
