Research topics
|
Our goal is to provide assistance in the taking of decisions and in the technical-economic analysis of the generation, transport and distribution systems in the energy sector. A fundamental aspect of this analysis is the modelling of energy markets and associated strategic decisions. The unit’s work is focused on the creation of computer models and on providing complementary advice and consulting services.
The unit is composed of an interdisciplinary research team which is continuously adapting to the emerging necessities of a sector which is undergoing a process of change world-wide.
We also have an important teaching function. The unit participates intensively in the PhD programme in the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería (ICAI) and in the European CREG-ALURE programme, which is focused on education and information exchange in the Latin American electricity sector. At a European level, we participate in the Asociación Universidad/Empresa para la Formación en Sistemas de Energía Eléctrica (AUEF-SEE).
