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

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.
