About the Author :
Dr. Marta Victoria has a BSc and MSc in Aerospace Engineering and a PhD in Photovoltaic Solar Energy from the Technical University of Madrid, Spain. She works as an Associate Professor at Aarhus University, Denmark, where she teaches courses in Photovoltaic Solar Energy and Macro-Energy System Modeling. Her current research interests include the modeling of large-scale energy systems with high renewable penetration and the analysis of how to integrate large amounts of solar PV electricity into the grid. She also investigates novel PV system designs including agrivolatics and energy communities based on shared rooftop PV installations.
