Fábio Retorta

Fábio Sester Retorta is an electrical engineer graduated at the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR). During his time in Brazil, he worked for 3 years with ANEEL R & D projects and services in the area of electric power quality by the company Lactec. Fábio earned his master's degree in UFPR with the theme of an ANEEL R & D project being awarded 1 place in the CIGRE Showcase Paris 2018. Since 2015 the researcher has been contributing with publications in international events, chapters of Brazilian books and Brazilian periodicals. The researcher has been working with the themes: electric power quality of wind farms / GD, operation of distributed generation, storage systems, solar thermal energy (CSP), rural electrification, multicriteria methodologies, fuzzy systems, optimization, forecasting methods, and planning of distribution systems. Fábio has taught classes at SENAI and CEPS (technical schools in Brazil) and is a member of the C6 group of CIGRÉ. He currently works at CPES with topics related to energy markets, deregulated electricyty markets, flexibilities in electricity markets, OPF and optimization methods

Power and Energy Systems

The Centre for Power and Energy Systems (CPES) is a global reference in the large-scale integration of renewable-based electricity generation into the power system.We research and develop advanced solutions that enable the monitoring, control, optimisation, and forecasting of electricity production and consumption, as well as multi-energy systems. Our work supports the decarbonisation of the energy system, the electrification of society, and the large-scale integration of renewables, making power grids more flexible, intelligent, and resilient.Our research results include models, methodologies, hardware, and software (much of it open source) designed for various energy sector stakeholders, including citizens, communities, service providers, system operators, regulators, policy-makers, and governmental bodies.We operate a Smart Grids and Electric Vehicles Laboratory – the X-Energy Lab (link) – where we validate technological advancements in real-world conditions, ensuring that our solutions have a tangible impact on the energy sector.Thanks to our expertise, we hold a prominent role in both national and international projects supporting the energy transition, while also providing direct services to key players in the electricity sector.
