Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Aeronautical Institute of Technology in 1972, and Master's and Doctorate in Electrical Engineering from the State University of Campinas in 1974 and 1978, respectively. He completed a one-year sandwich research internship at the Laboratoire d'Analyse et d'Architecture de Systèmes in Toulouse, France, in 1977, and was a visiting professor for a year at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, in 1989. He is currently a full professor at the State University of Campinas, retired but working as a collaborating professor. He has been a CNPq research productivity fellow since 1985, and is currently in the Senior Researcher category. His main interest focuses on the area of electrical power systems, working mainly on the development of computer models for simulation and nonlinear optimization applied to the planning and programming of the operation of the National Interconnected System.

Since the emergence of the interior point methods for linear optimization, computational codes based on these ideas have been shown as efficient alternatives for solving problems of linear and quadratic large-scale problems. Three research lines stand out in the search of efficiency: reducing the number of iterations to achieve convergence of the method; reduction of iteration computation…
This research project intends to continue the work successfully developed by our group on the area of power system operation planning. The models and programs developed in the last twenty years, including those developed within the three previous thematic projects, allow the representation and optimization of the complete interconnected Brazilian system, still considering all the thermal …
The physical characteristics of Brazil, with large territorial area and river basins, together with the relatively small reserves of oil and mineral coal, have been responsible for the implantation of a power generation system with predominance of hydroelectric generation, responsible for 91% of the installed power capacity. The Brazilian hydroelectric reserves are estimated in 260 GW fro…

Hydrothermal coordination of large-scale multi-area power systems is a challenging problem from both mathematical and computational perspectives. In this study, a mathematical formulation of long and medium-term problem that accounts for nonlinear hydropower production functions with variable head and efficiency, a direct-current interconnection power flow model with nonlinear transmissio…
This research project considers the development of an optimization model for unit commitment problem of hydrothermal systems (HTUC). This problem will be defined as a large scale nonlinear mixed integer model, solved using the advantages of semidefinite programming applied to combinatorial problems. The model should find a schedule of optimal operation of hydroelectric and thermoelectric …
The expansion planning of electric power generation is an essential tool to support the sustainable economic growth of the country, since the expansion of productive investment requires energy supply with quality, safety and low tariffs.In Brazil the model used for expansion planning is based on stochastic optimization and multi-objective analysis, which involves dividing the problem into…

This research project considers the development of an optimization model for the unit commitment problem of hydro-thermal power systems (HTUC). In the first part of the project a hydroelectric unit commitment (HUC) model solved by semidefinite programming (SDP) was developed at University of Campinas (UNICAMP). In the second part, during the collaborative split Ph.D. at Illinois Institute…
