MORA

About the Project

Model for Operational Reserve Adequacy

The MORA project consisted of developing a simulation tool based on the sequential Monte Carlo algorithm to assess the adequacy of the static and the operatinal reserve of interconnected generation systems. This project arose from a request from the Portuguese transmission system operator, REN, to meet the new challenges in the electricity system arising from the integration of a greater volume of variable renewable power and the progressive interconnection of European networks.

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.
