Biography:

Dr. Pablo Rodilla is Researcher with Comillas Pontifical University\\\'s Institute for Research in Technology (IIT) in Madrid, where he is Coordinator of the Energy Regulation and Economics Research Group. He is professor at the ICAI School of Engineering of both Energy Economics and Electric Power Systems Regulation. He has worked and lectured extensively on the one side on the operation and planning of electricity generation, with special focus on mathematical programming models of imperfect energy markets and planning models for integration of RES-E technologies and, on the other, on electric power system regulation, specializing in wholesale and capacity markets design. He has also rendered consultant services for governments, international institutions, industrial associations and utilities in over ten countries. He has published over 15 papers in international journals and conference proceedings. Since August 2015, he is Visiting Scholar at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).


Areas of interest:

Fundamental and quantitative electricity market modeling. Market design and regulation for wholesale electricity markets. Competition and strategic behavior analysis. Security of supply mechanisms in competitive power systems. Regulatory mechanisms focused on environmental policies
