Hasibul Hasan

Mohammad Hasibul Hasan is a researcher and electrical engineer focused on solving the critical challenges of ensuring reliability in 100% renewable energy (RE) systems. His primary research is in the techno-economic modelling of inter-annual storage (IAS), investigating the optimal balance between VRE overcapacity and long-duration storage to guarantee energy security against multi-year climate variability.

His work makes several key contributions to the field. He has conducted the first comprehensive global assessment of IAS requirements across 145 regions, providing a crucial benchmark for policymakers. Furthermore, his research offers a definitive verdict on the e-hydrogen versus e-methane debate for bulk electricity balancing, demonstrating that storage cost is a more decisive factor than round-trip efficiency. He also quantifies the significant financial and physical risks of under-planning energy systems with weather data of insufficient length.

He holds an MSc in Electrical Engineering with a specialisation in Solar Economy from LUT University, an MSc in Renewable Energy Technology from the University of Dhaka, and a BSc in Electrical & Electronic Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology.. His academic work is complemented by industry experience in energy systems and network engineering.
