RESEARCH GROUP PAIDI-TEP023

Sustainable and Renewable Electrical Techonologies (SURET)

The Research Group in Sustainable and Renewable Electrical Technologies (PAIDI-TEP023) has its headquarters in the Higher Technical School of Engineering of Algeciras, University of Cadiz, Spain.

Access the information of the research group in the UCA production portal..

The Research Group has extensive research experience, endorsed by publications, doctoral theses and research projects /contracts, and advanced equipment for the development of electrical, electronics and control technologies in the following research lines:

• SMART GRIDS/MICROGRIDS: Design, control and operation of smart grids/microgrids with renewable energy and energy storage for isolated and grid-connected applications in distributions networks, smart cities or smart ports.
• PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLAR ENERGY: Design, control and operation of isolated and grid-connected photovoltaic systems
• WIND ENERGY: Control and operation of wind turbines and wind farms, integrating energy storage and hydrogen production systems, and FACTS devices for improving power quality and the integration of wind turbines and wind farms into the network
• MARINE RENEWABLE ENERGY: Electricity generation from offshore wind energy, marine current energy and tidal energy, and their connection to the grid
• GREEN HYDROGEN: Design, control and operation of green hydrogen systems (fuel cell and/or electrolyser) for production of electric energy or hydrogen, and for electric transport.
• TRANSPORTATION ELECTRIFICATION: Design, control and operation of hybrid electric traction systems for transport (vehicles, buses, trams, port cranes, etc.), and electric charging stations.
• DC ELECTRICAL GRIDS: Design, control and operation of DC electrical grids (LVDC, MVDC, HVDC) with renewable energies and energy storage systems
• ELECTRONIC POWER CONVERTERS: Design and control of electronic power converters applied to renewable energies and energy storage systems.
• MULTI-ENERGY/INTEGRATED ENERGY SYSTEMS: Design, control and operation of multi-energy/integrated energy systems for integrated production of electricity, hydrogen, energy for transport, heating/cooling, etc.
• SMART ENERGY: Design of digital twins, and intelligent control and management systems for energy systems.

The Head of the Research Group is Prof. Dr. Luis M. Fernandez-Ramirez. Contact email: luis.fernandez@uca.es

The research group participates in the Doctoral Program in Sustainable and Energy Engineering at the University of Cadiz, where it offers the possibility of carrying out doctoral theses in any of its research lines.
