About the DESI Lab
The Distributed Energy Systems and Intelligence (DESI) Lab, led by Dr. Thillainathan Logenthiran, is a multidisciplinary research hub dedicated to advancing the future of intelligent and sustainable energy systems. Rooted in the domains of smart grids, distributed energy resources (DERs), and demand side management (DSM), the lab develops cutting-edge solutions that bridge power systems engineering with artificial intelligence, IoT, and advanced power electronics. Research at DESI explores decentralized control through multi-agent systems, real-time digital simulation, and AI-driven optimization to enhance grid reliability, flexibility, and resilience. From renewable energy integration and wireless EV charging to cyber-physical systems and consumer-centric energy engagement, the lab pioneers technologies that enable smart, adaptive, and secure energy ecosystems for a carbon-neutral future
