Distributed energy resources (DERs) such as renewable distributed generation, electric vehicles, demand response, and energy storage systems must be properly integrated into the future electrical distribution system (EDS) to bring economic and environmental benefits to society. Hence, the expansion and operational planning of EDSs should incentivize that integration, while accounting the …
The visit of Prof. Tiago Pinto will allow the development of research work with professors from the Laboratório de Planejamento de Sistemas de Energia Elétrica (LaPSEE). Research activities are related to the study of local electricity markets and the use of artificial intelligence techniques to solve problems to support the decision of agents, including demand forecasting and energy gene…
Future Electrical Distribution System (EDS) should be prepared to successfully integrate distributed generation (e.g. photo-voltaic generation) as well as to meet the demand growth. In this context, the expansion of the EDS must to be planned in order to reduce the construction cost of substations and circuits together with the corresponding operation cost. In addition, a suitable operati…
The growing integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) into electricity distribution systems (EDSs), driven by the global energy transition, and the increased frequency of extreme weather events, challenges the traditional planning and operating models. In turn, local energy markets (LEMs), by encouraging the participation of distributed generation and promoting local energy auton…
The transition to decarbonized energy systems is essential to mitigate the impacts of climate change and ensure a more sustainable and resilient energy matrix. Given the increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme events - such as fires, floods, droughts and heat waves - that directly threaten the electricity infrastructure, the need for adaptation and resilience in the electricity…
Microgrids are promising alternatives to meet local demand and integrate renewable resources such as wind and solar energy, which reduces dependence on the grid. However, its operation is a challenging problem due to the need to adequately coordinate generation units (conventional and renewable), control equipment, and electric vehicles, considering their uncertain characteristics. Mathem…

Distribution systems are being restructured, modified, and adapted to operate in the smart grid environment, allowing the integration of distributed energy resources such as distributed renewable generation, energy storage systems, electric vehicle charging stations, and so on. These technologies provide several operational and environmental benefits to distribution networks, but they als…
Power substations are one of the main components of the electrical power system, allowing the connection of networks of different voltage levels and exercising coordination and control functions of vital importance for the stability of the system. In substations, auxiliary services must ensure the supply of loads that make up the monitoring, communication, and switching systems. In cases …
Providing services with electric vehicles (EVs), e.g., delivery of goods, periodic technical maintenance, and medical visits can be a challenging task when performed in remote communities. These communities, characterized by being far from large metropolitan centers and not having a reliable supply of resources, particularly electricity, face difficulties in providing services offered wit…

The main goal of restructuring power distribution networks into a smart grid architecture is to integrate distributed energy resources (DERs) efficiently. While this transformation offers several operational and environmental benefits to the system, significant challenges must be studied. On the one hand, DERs are associated with a range of uncertain parameters, complicating their plannin…
Substation auxiliary services play a crucial role in the reliability and stability of the entire electrical system. They also contribute to emergency response, ensuring the safety of operators and allowing the rapid restoration of electrical service. During outages, auxiliary service loads must be continuously supplied by backup systems, which can consist of a microgrid with renewable gen…
The energy sector and the transport sector are responsible for most of the pollutant emissions. An alternative to mitigate the climate crisis is the use of electric vehicles (EVs) to perform services and deliver goods, e.g., passenger transport, couriers and food delivery. However, there are communities that are far from urban centers and that have a non-reliable energy supply, which ofte…
The evolution of energy storage system (ESS) technologies has increased the interest in their integration into the electric distribution system (EDS). Despite the benefits they can provide to the EDS, ESSs are still expensive, and their allocation and sizing decisions are complex due to uncertainties and long-term EDS aspects, which require the representation of many scenarios in the deci…
