Nuno Soares Fonseca

I was born in Cinfães, Portugal in 1984. I received the Master’s degree in Electrical and Computers Engineering from the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP), Portugal, in 2009 with major studies in Electricity Markets. I have been working ever since in the R&D Centre for Power and Energy Systems (CPES) at INESC TEC where I am a researcher. My professional contribute includes participation in consulting projects for Portuguese energy companies and participation in European projects within the networks planning and participation in projects aiming to optimize the operation of power systems.

On a personal level, I am motivated by the challenge. I am a creative and willing to learn person, not forgetting the critical spirit that I always try to preserve.

Power and Energy Systems

INESC TEC’s main actor in the energy field is the Centre for Power and Energy Systems (CPES), which falls within the Cluster Energy Systems. We at CPES are internationally recognised for our expertise in the integration of renewable energy in power systems, distributed generation, storage, smart grids and areas traditionally associated with the planning and operation of power systems. The high level of expertise developed has allowed our experts at CPES to take on key roles in important EU projects as part of the successive framework programmes that led to notable scientific and technical advances with considerable impact on industry. This has led to contracts for development and consultancy with companies manufacturing equipment and with generation, transmission and distribution companies, regulators, government agencies and investors in Europe, South America, the United States of America and Africa. At CPES, we address the following main research areas: Decision Making, Optimisation and Computational Intelligence, Forecasting, Static and Dynamic analysis of Energy Grids, Reliability, Power Electronics.
