Curriculum vitae

Thomas Wolgast is doctoral student in the field of energy informatics at the University of Oldenburg.

He received his Master of Science in Power Engineering from the Leibniz University Hannover. His master thesis was the implementation and evaluation of multi-agent based voltage control concepts in the distribution grid.

Thomas uses reinforcement learning to approximate the optimal power flow, one of the most important optimisation problems in energy system research. One focus of the work is the environment design, as the optimal representation of the optimal power flow problem as a reinforcement learning environment.
