(ATENCIÓN: CONVOCATORIA CERRADA Y RESUELTA) . ACCESO A LA CONVOCATORIA .

El Grupo de Optimitzación Numérica y Modelización (GNOM) del Departament d'Estadística I Investigació Operativa de la Universidad Poltécnica de Catalunya, dispone de una Beca de Formación de Personal Investigador (FPI) del Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación, para la realización de una tesis doctoral dentro de un proyecto de investigación sobre Optimización de  Mercados Eléctricos financiado por el Plan Nacional de I+D+i. La duración de la beca es de hasta cuatro años. 

In this new work submitted to the journal  IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, the authors, prof. F.-Javier Heredia, Dr. Marcos.-J Rider and Ms. Cristina Corchero developed, within the general stochastic programming framework, a new optimal bid model for both thermal and generic programmingn units (also known as Virtual Powewr Plants) taken into account the most recent regulation rules of the Spanish peninsular system MIBEL. This model allows a price-taker generation company to decide the unit commitment and sale bids of the thermal units, the optimal sale/purchase bids of the Virtual Power Plant and the economic dispatch of the bilateral contracts between all the programming units (thermal and generic).

 The GNOM research group of the UPC has been granted by the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación of the Spanish Government to develop the research project Short - and Medium Term Multimarket Optimal Electricity Generation Planning With Risk and Environmental Constraints. This is a three years project starting on january 2009 with an assigned budget of 130.000€, that extens the work done in several previous research projects . The leader of the project is Prof. F. Javier Heredia, and participate several researchers from the Universidad Politècnica de Catalunya, Universidad del País Vasco, Universidade Estadual de Campinas-UNICAMP, University of Edinburgh and Norwegian University of Science and Technology.The spanish electrical utilities Unión Fenosa and Gas Natural are also involved in the project as external observers and promoters.

This work, co-authored by Dr. Marcos.-J Rider and Ms. Cristina Corchero and submitted to the journal  Annals of Operations Research, developed a stochastic programming model that integrated the most recent regulation rules of the Spanish peninsular system for bilateral contracts in the day-ahead optimal bid problem. This model allows a price-taker generation company to decide the unit commitment of the thermal and combined cycle programming units, the economic dispatch of the bilateral contracts between all the programming units and the optimal sale bid by observing the Spanish peninsular regulation.
