Research Opportunities

Electrical Engineering

Work description

The work to be carried out by the researcher falls within the context of planning the expansion of electrical power systems with high integration of renewable energy production, storage, and new loads such as electric vehicles and hydrogen production.

The objective is focused on the development of simulation tools for the operation of power systems, both interconnected and isolated systems, for the quantification of costs and utilization of renewable energy.

The tools will be used to define optimal reinforcement plans for power systems.
