Main study areas and research topics
Unit commitment: simulation of European energy markets, operation of combined cycle units, stochastic/robust unit
commitment in order to determine reserve requirements under large-scale renewable energy integration
Smart transmission networks: optimal management of the transmission network in order to balance the variability of
renewable supply resources
High performance computing: development of parallel optimization methods for the optimization and simulation of power
system operations
Demand response: integration of flexible consumers in wholesale energy and ancillary services markets
