Empirical Evaluation of Renewable Energy Projects for Sustainable Development

About Tony Kealy

Dr Tony Kealy began his career in the electrical industry by embarking on an electrical apprenticeship in 1980 with Lynch Monaghan and OBrien (Ireland) qualifying in 1984. He then relocated to the UK to work for several years as a maintenance electrician with United Biscuits Waxlow Road Harlesden London NW10. On returning to Ireland in the 1990s Dr Kealy enrolled on a full-time academic degree programme in Electronic Engineering at Dundalk Institute of Technology (DKIT) and later at Dublin City University (DCU) graduating with a Bachelor of Engineering (in Electronic Engineering) in 2001 from DCU. Dr Kealy completed his full-time level 9 Master of Philosophy (M Phil) in February 2004 with his research focusing on electrical control systems. Dr Kealy subsequently began his full-time academic lecturing career in 2004 in the School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering at the Technological University of Dublin (TU Dublin) previously known as the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) Kevin Street Dublin 8. In parallel with his academic duties Dr Kealy completed his level 10 Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) graduating in 2019 from TU Dublin now relocated to City Campus Grangegorman Dublin 7. The focus of Dr Kealys PhD thesis was corporate social responsibility (CSR) and its related term sustainable development (SD). A significant portion of the PhD thesis focused on renewable energy electrical generators. Throughout his career Dr Kealy has consistently sought to bridge the gap between academia and the real-world electrical power community and his research output is reflective of this valuable association.
