Apresentação Pessoal

I graduated in Electrical Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP) in 2003 and completed my PhD in Power Systems in November 2008, also in the University of Porto.

In February 2009, I joined the Department of Electrical Engineering at FEUP as Assistant Professor, being involved in the lecturing activities in the Integrated Master in Electrical and Computer Engineering (till July 2021), Bachelor and Master degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering (starting September 2021) as well as in the Doctoral Programs (Doctoral Program in Sustainable Energy Systems and Doctoral Program in Electrical and Computer Engineering). 

I am with the Centre for Power and Energy Systems (CPES) of INESC TEC since September 2003, being senior researcher since 2009. I am also the “Static and dynamic analysis of power systems” scientific domain leader at CPES since September 2018. 

 I have been involved (either as a technical leader of research teams or as a researcher) in several EU-funded projects, namely: 

1. MICROGRIDS: Large Scale Integration of Micro Generation to Low Voltage Grids;
2. MORE-MICROGRIDS: Advanced Architectures and Control Concepts for More Microgrids;
3. MERGE: Mobile Energy Resources for Grids of Electricity;
4. TWENTIES: Transmission system operation with large penetration of Wind and other renewable Electricity sources in Networks by means of innovative Tools and Integrated Energy Solutions;
5. HYPERBOLE: HYdropower plants PERformance and flexiBle Operation towards Lean integration of new renewable Energies;
6. EU-SysFLEX: Pan-European system with an efficient coordinated use of flexibilities for the integration of a large share of RES;
7. XFLEX HYDRO: Hydropower Extending Power System Flexibility;
8. Smart4RES: Next Generation Modelling and Forecasting of Variable Renewable Generation for Large-scale Integration in Energy Systems and Markets. 

I have been also involved in technical consultancy activities regarding renewable power sources (mainly wind and solar) connection to the continental and isolated power grids and on the definition of connection requirements for generation systems.

The main domains of my research activities are related with large scale integration of renewable power sources in isolated and interconnected power systems, power system dynamics and microgrids operation and control.
