Ismail Kasikci is Professor at the University of Applied Sciences Biberach, Germany. His main research area is electrical energy supply, design of electrical installations of buildings, solar electricity, wind power generation, building integrated renewables, design and protection of distribution power system, smart grids, solar and wind power, connectivity requirements, focused on the IEC/EN and VDE regulations. Ismail Kasikci received his Bachelor in electrical and electronics engineering from the Technical University Darmstadt and his PhD from the University of Brunel, United Kingdom. He published 17 books in German, English and Turkish and more than 64 international scientific publications. He is a member by VDE and IEEE. He is Associated Editor of the international Journal of Power and Energy Systems by ACTA press in the States and Canada. Since 2005 he is a member of the German norm group, K221 [IEC TC 64 (VDE 0100)]. He has more than 18 years of professional experience in planning and design of electrical power systems.
He plays since 1994 an active role in Turkey for educational purposes and in the regulation of IEC and EN. Within the scope of the EU Erasmus program he gives lectures at the University of Pamukkale and Ege University in the field of Electric Power Systems, Grounding and Protection.
