Gabriela Hug-Glanzmann (born 1979)[1] is a Swiss electrical engineer and an associate professor and Principal Investigator of the Power Systems Laboratory at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zürich within the Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering.
In 1999, Hug pursued her graduate studies in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zürich.
[6] She based her method on Model Predictive Control in order to minimize variations and fluctuations that lead to wasted energy and environmental harm.
[4] Following her graduate training, Hug moved to Canada in 2008 where she worked within the Special Studies Group at Hydro One in Toronto, Ontario.
[9] She also became the co-director of the Electric Energy Systems Group (EESG) at Carnegie Mellon, as well as the leader of the thrust area on Transmission and Distribution Management in the SRC Smart Grid Research Center.
[12] Through simulating her distributed cooperative control strategy, Hug saw that losses can be minimized while supply and demand balance is met.
