Study of the Vega de Tera pumping and the topology of the Moncabril system

November 2026 - February 2027

Funding entity Endesa Medios y Sistemas S.L, Endesa S.A


This project is part of the professional services provided to Enel-Endesa within the framework of the EXLA and EXCOM models. The objective is to conduct an economic assessment of the proposed pumping scheme at Vega de Tera and lay the groundwork for an operational model of the Moncabril power plant that the development team could implement.


Layman's summary: The TERA subsystem is currently represented in EXLA and EXCOM using a fairly simplified model. However, its actual topology includes a more complex network of small dams, reservoirs, and canals. In particular, the Vega de Tera reservoir is not currently included in the model (it is located between the Vega de Conde dam and the Moncabril power plant). This project will develop a more detailed model of the entire system for subsequent implementation by the development team.



Techniques employed: Mixed integer linear programming
