Biography:
Andrés Tomás Martín (PhD in Engineering Systems Modeling, Comillas Pontifical University -2025-, Communications-Electronics Engineer, Complutense University of Madrid -2018-) is a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Research in Technology of Comillas Pontifical University.
Areas of interest:
Distributed control of electrical microgrids and modeling, analysis and control of power systems dominated by electronic generation.
Experience:
In 2024, he completed an international research stay at Durham University (UK) focused on the decentralized hierarchical control of hybrid microgrids. He has authored several publications in high-impact journals such as the International Journal of Electrical Power & Energy Systems and Sustainable Energy, Grids and Networks , and has participated in more than ten national and international conferences. His professional profile is further distinguished by his teaching role at ETSI ICAI and his leadership in developing the open-source tool VFlexP.
Skills:
MATLAB, Simulink, modal analysis, LaTeX, control and modeling of electrical systems, model order reduction, AI-based tools for power systems, hybrid AC/DC systems modeling, communications modeling, Python, PSS/E, and VFlexP (open-source tool based on MATLAB Simulink for the analysis of power systems).
Current research interests:
Modeling, analysis, and control of power systems dominated by power electronics. Control of hybrid power grids, high-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems, and smart grids
