Empirical Evaluation of Renewable Energy Projects for Sustainable Development

Dr Tony Kealy began his career in the electrical industry by embarking on an electrical apprenticeship in 1980 with Lynch, Monaghan, and O'Brien (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 Kealy's 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.

Dr. Tony Kealy 於1980年開始他的電氣行業生涯，當時在愛爾蘭的 Lynch, Monaghan, and O'Brien 開始了電氣學徒訓練，並於1984年獲得資格。隨後，他搬到英國，在倫敦 NW10 的 United Biscuits 擔任維修電工工作了幾年。1990年代回到愛爾蘭後，Dr. Kealy 參加了鄧多克科技學院 (Dundalk Institute of Technology, DKIT) 的全日制電子工程學位課程，並後來轉到都柏林城市大學 (Dublin City University, DCU)，於2001年從 DCU 獲得電子工程學士學位。Dr. Kealy 於2004年2月完成了全日制的第9級哲學碩士 (Master of Philosophy, M Phil)，其研究重點為電氣控制系統。隨後，Dr. Kealy 於2004年開始在都柏林科技大學 (Technological University of Dublin, TU Dublin) 的電氣與電子工程學院擔任全日制講師，該校之前稱為都柏林科技學院 (Dublin Institute of Technology, DIT)，位於都柏林8區的 Kevin Street。與他的學術職責並行，Dr. Kealy 完成了第10級的哲學博士 (Doctor of Philosophy, PhD)，並於2019年從 TU Dublin 畢業，該校現已搬遷至都柏林7區的 City Campus, Grangegorman。Dr. Kealy 的博士論文重點在於企業社會責任 (Corporate Social Responsibility, CSR) 及其相關術語可持續發展 (Sustainable Development, SD)。博士論文中有相當一部分專注於可再生能源電力發電機。在他的職業生涯中，Dr. Kealy 一直致力於縮短學術界與現實電力社區之間的距離，他的研究成果反映了這一寶貴的聯繫。
