About

I received the B.Sc. degree in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science from the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto, Porto, Portugal, in 1991, and I got my MSc and PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering (Power Systems area) in the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, in 1995 and 2002, respectively.
In 1991, I joined INESC Porto where I'm DMS/EMS and System Operation Area Leader and Research Manager of Centre for Power and Energy Systems (CPES). Since 1995, I have been with the Faculty of Economics of the University of Porto, where I'm currently an Assistant Professor.
I have collaborated on several projects related to the development of DMS systems (including the European projects MORE MICROGRIDS, SuSTAINABLE, evolvDSO, Integrid), the application of soft computing techniques to power systems, namely, to the state estimation problem.

Abstract
Taking advantage of the flexibility of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) can help improve distribution network efficiency, reliability and resilience. EUniversal project aims to facilitate the use of flexibility services and interlink active system management of distribution system operators with electricity markets. congestion management and voltage control have been identified has the most relevant needs, within different operation timeframes, namely: from day, weeks and years ahead. This paper considers long-term flexibility services to support maintenance actions, increasing the periods where is technically possible to perform maintenance actions maintaining security of operation. The methodology developed to schedule planned maintenance actions based on forecasted network profiles, maintenance costs, network reconfiguration capability and flexibility contracted in long-term flexible markets will be presented. © The Institution of Engineering and Technology 2023.

Abstract
The increasing integration of renewable energy sources (RES) at different voltage levels of the distribution grid has led to technical challenges, namely voltage and congestion problems. Conversely, the integration of new Distributed Energy Resources (DER) provides the necessary flexibility to accommodate higher RES integration levels. This work describes the development of innovative functional modules, based on optimal power flow calculations and grid forecasting, dedicated to the predictive management of the distribution grid considering DER flexibility, which are integrated into a commercial SCADA/DMS solution. © The Institution of Engineering and Technology 2023.

Improved battery storage systems modeling for predictive energy management applications

Authors
Silva R.; Gouveia C.; Carvalho L.; Pereira J.;

Publication
IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference Europe

Abstract
This paper presents a model predictive control (MPC) framework for battery energy storage systems (BESS) management considering models for battery degradation, system efficiency and V-I characteristics. The optimization framework has been tested for microgrids with different renewable generation and load mix considering several operation strategies. A comparison for one-year simulations between the proposed model and a naïve BESS model, show an increase in computation times that still allows the application of the framework for real-time control. Furthermore, a trade-off between financial revenue and reduced BESS degradation was evaluated for the yearly simulation, considering the degradation model proposed. Results show that a conservative BESS usage strategy can have a high impact on the asset's lifetime and on the expected system revenues, depending on factors such as the objective function and the degradation threshold considered.

Abstract
Future Secondary Substation (SS) design requires a more integrated approach, from the building envelope design, electromechanically equipments to the advanced monitoring and control, taking into account new technical, environmental and economic requirements. The main objective of the project is to develop an integrated solution for the SSS, considering innovative solutions for the building envelope and thermal behavior, power transformer and switching equipment as well as monitoring, protection and control system. This paper presents the specification of future SS developed in Portuguese project NEXTSTEP - Next Distribution SubsTation ImprovEd Platform and describes its mains innovative solution and advanced control functionalities. © 2021 The Institution of Engineering and Technology.

Abstract
This paper provides an answer to the problem of State Estimation (SE) with multiple simultaneous gross errors, based on Generalized Error Correntropy instead of Least Squares and on an interior point method algorithm instead of the conventional Gauss-Newton algorithm. The paper describes the mathematical model behind the new SE cost function and the construction of a suitable solver and presents illustrative numerical cases. The performance of SE with the data set contaminated with up to five simultaneous gross errors is assessed with confusion matrices, identifying false and missed detections. The superiority of the new method over the classical Largest Normalized Residual Test is confirmed at a 99% confidence level in a battery of tests. Its ability to address cases where gross errors fall on critical measurements, critical sets or leverage points is also confirmed at the same level of confidence.
