| Objectives
Competitive mechanisms
have been introduced during the last years in the planning, management,
and operation of Electric Power Systems, also including regulation and
procurement of ancillary services. This fact, together with the introduction
of new generation technologies such as wind or combined cycle power plants,
and the need for increased participation in the markets of active demands,
make necessary a deep review of the current situation and prospective
evolution of ancillary services management methods.
This course aims at providing a forum to discuss issues related with the
new challenges in ancillary services regulation an operation. The main
topics that will be addressed in the course are:
• Current regulation and procurement of ancillary services, specifically
load frequency control and voltage control. International experiences
will be presented.
• System security and emergency operation. Current practices.
• Prospective of generation ancillary services from the supply side.
Changes in current structure and new proposals (pumping units, wind generators,
etc.).
• Integration of active participation of the demand side. Ancillary
services supplied by demands. Possibilities, procurement mechanisms and
limitations. Load shedding and financial agreements keeping quality of
supply requirements.

Dr.
Ignacio Egido (egido@iit.upcomillas.es)
Ignacio Egido received his M.S. and PhD degree in Electrical
Engineering from the Universidad Pontificia de Comillas de Madrid, Spain,
in 2000 and 2005. He is currently a Researcher of the Instituto de Investigación
Tecnológica, Universidad Pontificia Comillas, Madrid, Spain. He
has been involved in several research projects related to AGC and power
system stability in collaboration with several Spanish generation companies
and the Spanish system operator. His interests include power system modelling,
simulation, analysis, operation and control.
Dr.
Francisco M. Echavarren (francisco.echavarren@iit.upcomillas.es)
Francisco M. Echavarren was born in Madrid, Spain, in
1977. He received the degree of Electrical Engineer from Universidad Pontificia
