  Research project – The Effect of the Network Structure on the Stability of Modern Power Systems (2022) In the context of the increasing penetration of renewable energy sources, congestion on transmission assets is a phenomenon which has gradually caught the attention of TSOs because it increases operational costs. Changing the network's structure by switching lines has been used to tackle transmission congestion; however, switching actions' effect on the grid's stability is critical for real-world applications. The research project enabled the study of the topological effect of the network structure on the transient stability of power systems. MATLAB and DIgSILENT models were integrated into an optimisation tool to identify the network structures with the highest robustness from the transient stability perspective. Implementing a robustness metric in the form of a fitness function allowed the use of genetic algorithms to find the solution to this discrete, highly non-linear optimisation problem. Show less

  The Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Response Training System (SIGEN, by its Spanish acronym) has been intensively and successfully used to train Chilean government agencies and local authorities to manage and coordinate resources for disaster response (earthquakes, tsunamis, and flooding). After ten years of its release, without any software maintenance, an update was required to continue its operation. The software maintenance enabled the change of the text-based user interface to a modern interface integrating a GIS with spatial information of events and local assets. The successful completion of the project allowed the extension of the lifecycle of the training system for several years. Show less

  In the defence sector, Command and Control Systems are mission-critical systems that provide close to real-time information for decision-making processes involving multiple assets in military operations. The installation and operation of an information system of such characteristics require a reliable communication and information infrastructure with continued monitoring, which requires skilled and trained staff. In the successful completion of this project, the mission-critical system was operating 24/7 in more than ten sites, integrating information from the Army, Navy and Air Force. Show less

  • Mar 2010 - Oct 2012

  The development and mission-critical systems is a complex task because it requires the design of a system capable of managing critical information, which usually involves the integration of multiple information sources. The project involved integrating data from the Army, Navy and Air Force command and control systems; moreover, the system managed information on real assets operating in an area of interest on a single interface. High-quality standards were used in the design and development process, such as the software engineering standard PSS-05-(01-011) of the European Space Agency. The implementation of the system allowed data integration to coordinate and control joint operations, which has been used in multiple operational exercises. Show less
