Research description:

Current research
- Feature selection methodology for the identification of the most significant variables of a isolated power system with renewables.
- Application of evolutionary computation and distributed agents technology to the voltage colapse problem and reactive power optimization.

Last five years:
- Load forecasting at primary substations feeders, dealing with MV reconfiguration, holidays and special days, noise filtering, etc
- Estimation of load diagrams and error bars based on consumers commercial characteristics (hired power, consumer type,...), monthly energy consumption, weekday/weekend and season of the year.
- Dynamic seurity assessment of isolated power systems with wind production
