R&D Nester at CIGRÉ Session 46
The R&D Nester took part in the CIGRÉ (Conseil International des Grands Réseaux Électriques) Session, the biennial world forum for power system, held in Paris last August.
Nuno Pinho da Silva, researcher on renewable energy management at R&D Nester, presented the center's contribution based on the paper "Probabilistic dimensioning of tertiary control reserve driven by the intermittency of renewable generation in Portugal" at the group discussion of the Study Committee C2 - System Operation and Control. It addressed the dimensioning of operational reserves by accounting for the uncertainty of the wind and solar power production.
Nuno Souza e Silva, Managing Director of the R&D Nester, is the Portuguese regular member of the National Portuguese Committee to Study Committee C5 - Electricity Markets and Regulation. He is engaged in the activities of several working groups and the session was the opportunity to acknowledge the last developments and summarize the work from the last two years, as well as to set the agenda for the next years.
The session was attended by approximately 8000 people from 93 countries from all over the world, and it was a good opportunity for R&D Nester to highlight its skills and capabilities and network with potential partners.
