Curriculum Vitae
Following his studies in Electrical Engineering - data and control systems - at TU Braunschweig with Prof. Werner Leonhard, J. Sachau received his PhD on control of independent power grids. From 1984-1989 he was project leader for decentral energy systems at the University of Kassel and from 1989-1995 he joined the german energy research institute ISET as founder and head of the systems engineering department also founding its programme preparation. He is a cofounder of the EUREC-Agency of sustainable energy research institutes and companies. At DG Research in Brussels, he was appointed sector leader, from 1995-1997 leading three clusters of non-nuclear energy projects in four EC-programmes and finally became responsible for supply quality monitoring and information technology of EU-funded sustainable power systems at the EU's joint research centre JRC, Ispra, initiating the Advanced Electricity Storage programme. Lecturing since 1992, he became professor at the Energy Institute of the University of Kassel in 2000 and the Systems and Control Engineering Professor of Luxembourg University in 2003 where he is initiator and scientific director of the Netpower Lab.
He founded the International Journal of Sustainable Energy, published it's print volumes and is Editorial Board member of the European Transactions on Electrical Power.
Keywords of the research and teaching interests
Prof. Sachau's work is devoted to full-supply of powersystems with renewable energies, ranging from power electronics and control of energy conversion further to systems integration, design and operation. His systems engineering focus is on reliable dynamics, systematic modeling and decomposition, complexity reduction and model-integrated prototyping.
