Presentación de GISEL

The Electric Power Systems Research Group (GISEL) has been working for over a decade on the development of technologies aimed at making the electrical grid more efficient, cleaner, and smarter. Its research focuses on three key areas: integration of renewable energy sources, microgrids, and power system protection. GISEL maintains close collaboration with the local energy industry, participates in research projects at the regional, national, and European levels, and actively contributes to the training of new generations of researchers. We invite you to explore the different sections of our website to learn more about who we are, our research activities, and the projects we are working on.

Highly resilient power grids

Design, control, and protection of energy assets to ensure robustness, flexibility, and supply security

First publication date: 23/02/2018

The GISEL Research Group is participating in the RESINET research project, funded under the ELKARTEK 2024 call, alongside Mondragon Unibertsitatea (project leader), ZIV, TECNALIA, IKERLAN, and the Basque Energy Cluster.

The RESINET research project, led by Mondragon Unibertsitatea and funded under the ELKARTEK 2024 programme, seeks to improve the resilience of power grids against extreme weather events and the increasing complexity resulting from the integration of renewable energy. The initiative includes participation from the GISEL Research Group at UPV/EHU, along with ZIV, TECNALIA, IKERLAN, and the Basque Energy Cluster.

The project takes an innovative approach by researching and developing cutting-edge technologies and tools that will enhance the capacity of electrical grids to recover quickly from adverse events, ensuring a secure and reliable power supply.

Within the scope of the project, GISEL, in collaboration with ZIV, will develop flexible renewable generation models capable of representing the control capabilities of current power converters and accurately reflecting their fault behavior. These models will be used to analyze various types of faults in power grids and to develop new protection algorithms that overcome current system limitations.
