Jorge Correia Pereira

Senior Researcher

I received the B.Sc. degree in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science from the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto, Porto, Portugal, in 1991, and I got my MSc and PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering (Power Systems area) in the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, in 1995 and 2002, respectively. In 1991, I joined INESC Porto where I'm DMS/EMS and System Operation Area Leader and Research Manager of Centre for Power and Energy Systems (CPES). Since 1995, I have been with the Faculty of Economics of the University of Porto, where I'm currently an Assistant Professor. I have collaborated on several projects related to the development of DMS systems (including the European projects MORE MICROGRIDS, SuSTAINABLE, evolvDSO, Integrid), the application of soft computing techniques to power systems, namely, to the state estimation problem.

Centres

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.
