RESEARCH GROUP
Engineering in Energy Systems
Short and long-term challenges the country faces include the integration of a higher percentage of renewable energy and intelligent technologies into the network, increasing the safety and resilience of the electricity system, and improving the efficiency of the sector.
At the Complex Systems Engineering Institute we generate theoretical and applied research that supports these challenges. We design tools, models, and methodologies to add intelligence and flexibility in future energy systems and markets, to facilitate the transition to a more sustainable, secure, and resilient network. Additionally, we collaborate with government agencies and private industries in Chile and abroad, to contribute to the creation of new public policies, in the development of strategic plans to expand the system and private companies, and to address sensitive problems for Electricity Network operators and regulatory agents.
