Benoit Marcoux
Business Development Manager - Asia, OPAL-RT Technologies
Speaker
Benoit Marcoux obtained his bachelor's degree in engineering in 1994 from the Ecole Polytechnique of Montreal specializing in power systems. His past experiences include 14 years in Hydro-Quebec doing various R&D work related to the power system simulation department. This also involved testing and validation of many types of devices that eventually would be implemented on the real grid as well as many related HIL studies. His knowledge of real-time power system simulation has been on-going for the past 30 years and Benoit now works for OPAL-RT Technologies as the person responsible for the Asia Pacific region (except China).
Piyaporn Sinnart
Technical Sales Engineer, PTS Combination (Thailand)
Speaker
Piyaporn Sinnart holds both Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Electrical Engineering from Kasetsart University and is currently pursuing her Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, focusing on power system analysis using Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation. She has been developing her knowledge in real-time simulation, MIL, HIL, PHIL, and Microgrid systems, with learning interests in renewable energy, PV, Wind, and Battery technologies. Beyond her academic path, she is gradually expanding her skills in designing test environments for energy and automotive systems in line with IEC standards. At the same time, she is dedicated to research, development, and sharing knowledge about HIL in Thailand, helping others gain a better understanding of how HIL can support modern energy and smart grid solutions.
