The model EXLA is a model for optimal operation and planing of hydropower units and reservoirs in the medium and short term. It has been developed by the IIT in collaboration with the heads of the hydraulic management of the Directorate of Analysis and Risk Management of Endesa. The project is divided into two parts. The first includes the computer tasks related with maintaining the operational license EXLA tool, to support users and upgrade components. The second deals with new development tasks aimed at introducing new features in the model to meet the needs identified as priorities.

Research topics:
• *Short-Term Operation, Market Bidding and Operating Reserves
• *Medium-term tactical planning
