Manuel A. Matos was born in 1955 in Porto, Portugal. He received the El.Eng., Ph.D., and Aggregation degrees from the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (Portugal). He is with the FEUP since 1978 (Full Professor since 2000). He is also coordinator of the Centre for Power and Energy Systems of INESC TEC. He is presently the director of the Doctoral Program on Sustainable Energy Systems under the MIT-Portugal program. He participated in several European Projects like CARE, MORE CARE, MICROGRIDS, MORE MICROGRIDS, ANEMOS PLUS, SuSTAINABLE, evolvDSO and led other international projects like the RESERVES project and tool, with the Portuguese and Spanish TSO. His research interests include classical and fuzzy modeling of power systems, reliability, optimization and decision-aid methods.

Ricardo Bessa received his Licenciado (five-year) degree from the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, Portugal (FEUP) in 2006 in Electrical and Computer Engineering. In 2008, he received the M.Sc. degree in Data Analysis and Decision Support Systems on the Faculty of Economics of the University of Porto (FEP). He obtained his Ph.D. degree in the Doctoral Program in Sustainable Energy Systems (MIT Portugal) at FEUP in 2013. Currently, he is a Senior Researcher and Area Manager at INESC TEC in its Center for Power and Energy Systems. He worked in several international projects such as the European Projects FP6 ANEMOS.plus, FP7 SuSTAINABLE, FP7 EvolvDSO, Horizon 2020 SENSIBLE and UPGRID and an international collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory for the U.S. Department of Energy. He is co-author of 23 journal papers, 52 conference papers and 3 book chapters about renewable energy forecasting, power system operation and electricity markets.


Introduction and Objectives

The integration of variable Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in electric power systems implies major changes in power system operation and planning procedures, as well as in the design of electricity markets. This requires advanced computational tools to handle RES uncertainty and variability and new regulatory frameworks. This course aims to cover different theoretical and practical aspects of risk management in power systems, such as operating/static reserve long-term monitoring, setting operating reserve requirements, network planning and dynamic line rating. New electricity market frameworks (e.g., stochastic electricity market-clearing) to better integrate RES and market bidding strategies for RES power plants are also covered in this course. Finally, emergent topics such as integration of RES and demand-side management (DSM) in distributions networks and isolated power systems are covered.
