Jorge Correia Pereira

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.

Associated Centres

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.
