April 2012 - March 2013

Funding entity Eon Generacion, S. L

The aim of this project consists of incorporating new capabilities identified by Eon that might be required due to the market evolution (regulatory and operational changes). The computer tools developed for Viesgo by IIT are GRIMEL, GRIMEL CORTO PLAZO, GHIAN, OFCccgt, PLAMER OFERTAS and PLAMER CASACION. GRIMEL OFERTAS creates the bids that Eon submits into the differente electriciy markets, GHIAN optimizes with an annual and weeekly time scope the hydro power plants of Eon, OFCcctg optimizes the start-up/shut-down cycling of CCGT plants of Eon, GRIMEL CORTO PLAZO plans the electricity production by Viesgo assess in a variable time scope (from one week to a month), and PLAMER OFERTAS and PLAMER CASACION simulates the electricity market with an annual time scope.
In addition, an economic assessment of Eon automatic generation control system (AGC) will be tackled.

Research topics:
• *Automatic Generation Control: Design and tuning of AGC regulators, identification of power plant models, primary and secondary regulation ancilliary services,
• *Short-Term Operation, Market Bidding and Operating Reserves
• *Medium-Term Tactical Planning
• *Long-Term Strategic Analysis
