Biography

Andrea Michiorri is a researcher specializing in smart grid systems and the optimized management of electricity transmission and distribution networks. His work focuses on the integration of renewable energy, the optimization of electrical infrastructure under climatic and operational constraints, and the improvement of real-time forecasting and decision-making models. His research notably addresses *Dynamic Line Rating* (DLR), a method for dynamically adjusting the capacity of power lines based on weather conditions, thereby reducing congestion and infrastructure costs. He also explores the impact of socioeconomic factors and external events on energy demand, incorporating advanced techniques such as natural language processing (NLP) to refine forecasts. His expertise extends to the modeling of storage systems, the participation of distributed energy resources (DERs) in energy and system services markets, and the assessment of the effects of climate change on grid components, such as transformers.

Introduction to power system analysis

Course Director

Context: Electrical power systems are among the most important and complex infrastructures operated by mankind. Without a stable and reliable supply of electricity, basic services at the fundament of our societies could not take place. Despite operational practices and analysis methods for power grids are well established, the interest on power grids come to prominence again due to the increasing connection of stochastic renewable generation, that poses new challenges to grid operators. In this course, we will illustrate the main functionalities of power systems (generation, transmission, and distribution grids), their components (generators, transformers, lines) and provide students with the mathematical tools to analyse power grids (load flows and notion of optimal power flow). We will finally explore the operating principles of interconnected AC power grids (frequency and voltage control). The course will be followed through by laboratory sessions, where students will explore and apply what learnt in a suitable simulation environment.

He is a Research Engineer at the Centre for Energy and Process of Mines Paris – PSL within the group ERSEI. Here he is the responsible for researches on the area of smart grids and the integration of distributed and renewable resources. His current research interests are in the application of proactive predictive techniques to the management of the power system and on power system components dynamic thermal rating.
