Optimal medium-term hydrothermal scheduling for the Spanish mainland electric system
This research project will be developed in collaboration with one of the leading companies in the electricity sector in Spain with international presence. The objective is to adapt the tool that is currently used to optimize the hydrothermal scheduling taking into account the renewable generation resources, and the electricity exchanges.
The PhD research line is closely linked to the objectives of the project: medium-term hydrothermal coordination models taking into account a detailed representation of the generation units, and the different sources of uncertainty (renewable generation, natural inflows, etc.).
Requirements: Speak and write correctly Spanish and English. It will be appreciated that the candidate knows the operation of the electric system, and has experience in the algebraic language GAMS.
