Dr. Hossam A. Gabbar

This talk will present development strategies of hybrid energy systems and transportation
charging stations and their integration witihn energy and transportation infrastructures. The
design and control strategies of hybrid energy systems and integrations with fast charging
stations will be presented with hybrid energy storage. Modeling and simulation approaches will
be discussed and utilized in case studies. Hardware-in-the-loop and real time simulation are
used to evaluate the proposed design and implementation scenarios. Integrated nuclear-
renewable hybrid energy systems using Small Modular Reactor (SMR) or Micro Modular
Reactor (MMR) wihitn micro energy grids are used to achieve resilient energy supply within
charging stations. Intergation betweeen hyrdogen and fuel cell systems are demonstrated to
achieve hybrid charging stations and support the transition to clean transportation. Transactive
mobility will be discussed to support the deployment of charging stations within energy and
transportation infrastructures, as integrated with community applications in city, urban, and
remote communities. Performance measures are modeled and evaluated for different design and
operation strategies. Resiliency and performance measures will be discussed in view of number
of operation and control strategies to meet user requirements.
