IAP 2010 Activity


Research Topics in Smart Electricity Distribution Grids
Prof. Tomás Gómez Institute for Research in Technology, Comillas U., Madrid
Fri Jan 22, 10:30am-12:00pm, E51-145

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event

Distribution networks are becoming very different from what they used to be. The increasing presence of diverse types of distributed generation, the anticipated strong penetration of plug-in electric vehicles and the use of advanced schemes of interaction with the end consumers are creating new needs for design operation and regulation of the distribution activity. This talk will present results from several on-going research projects that have studied the technical and economic impacts of the integration of distributed generation and electric vehicles and the design of incentives for improving the quality of service in distribution networks. Professor Tomás Gómez has worked for more than 25 years in numerous research topics involving distribution networks and he presently participates in several smart grid European projects.
