Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGiel Van Den Broeck is a hands-on power electronics engineer and entrepreneur with a decade of experience translating low-voltage DC distribution and microgrid concepts into real-world systems. As Co-Founder & CTO of Direct Energy Partners and founder of DCINERGY, he blends deep academic expertise—holding a summa cum laude PhD from KU Leuven—with practical design, testing, and embedded-software integration of power converters and control algorithms. His doctoral work produced novel converters and stability controls for bipolar DC distribution, and he takes particular satisfaction in iterative hardware-software refinement. Based in Aarschot, Belgium, he pairs technical leadership with field-proven test setups (including a PV measurement rig still used at EnergyVille) and a pragmatic background in welding and fabrication that informs robust, manufacturable designs.
