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
Projects
EU-SysFlex
The EU-SysFlex project will test a high level of integration of renewable energy sources in the pan-European electricity system. The aim of the EU-SysFlex project is to identify issues and solutions associated with integrating large-scale renewable energy and create a plan to provide practical assistance to power system operators across Europe. This should ultimately lead to identification of a long-term roadmap to facilitate the large-scale integration of renewable energy across Europe. The EU-SysFlex project activities will through innovative processes bring new solutions to the market: from the development of new approaches for system operation with high renewables, to market design and regulatory requirements, as well as integration of new system services and data management plans to cover the pan-European market. The EU-SysFlex project is funded by the EU framework programme for research and innovation Horizon 2020 under the call H2020-LCE-2016-2017.
POCITYF
The POCITYF smart city project mobilises two Lighthouse cities and six 6 Fellow cities aiming to promote environmental sustainability and energy efficiency while taking care of their cultural heritage by protecting their historical buildings. This project aims to promote and develop innovative solutions suited to transform the participating cities into more efficient, healthy, open, accessible, sustainable, prosperous, and thus, more attractive living environments.
