Pedro Pereira Barbeiro

I obtained my M.Sc. degree in electrical engineering at the Faculty of Engineering of University of Porto (FEUP), Porto, in 2010. In the same year I joined INESC TEC as researcher at the Power Systems Unit. Since then, I have worked in several European and National financed projects focused on the fields of electric vehicles, smart grids, distribution generation, metering and management of energy consumption, FACTS, storage devices, state estimation, among others in power systems area. I have also participated in several consultancy projects for the Portuguese TSO and DSO related with the integration of renewable resources in transmission and distribution networks. Currently, my main research activities are focused on the area of smart grids, namely on the developments of tools for monitoring distribution networks in real-time using state estimation algorithms based on artificial intelligence.

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.
