Energy
This line of research focuses on the analysis of the sectors of generation, transmission, distribution and consumption of electrical energy, with emphasis on the latest generation technologies and the sustainability of primary resources.
The research is oriented towards non-conventional renewable energies and the massification of the efficient use of electrical energy in the transport, heating and refrigeration sectors, and residential and industrial consumption.
Among the outstanding projects are the development of electric vehicles and mathematical tools for decision-making in the operation and planning of systems, analysis of the stability of power systems, design and regulation of markets; design and energization of smart grids including innovative control actions in network devices, generation and consumption; analysis of the impact of renewable energies in power systems; and the study of adaptation strategies to climate change.
