Dear Friend,

Another year, it is with much pleasure and satisfaction that I present the annual report of the work carried out at the Institute for Research in Technology (IIT) of the ICAI School of Engineering at the Comillas Pontifical University during the last academic year.

This document - a record of a year of effort and dedication on the part of our research staff - is proof indeed of the position we have been able to consolidate, both nationally and internationally, in our chosen areas of research. It describes a situation which attests both to the strength of the institute’s research teams, who also make an important contribution to our internationally-oriented doctoral programs, and to the continuing success of our collaboration with the industrial sector for more than thirty years.

All of the activity described in this report would not have been possible without the work and commitment of all the professionals at the institute: proffesors, researchers, administrative staff, post-graduate students and representatives of the industrial sector. If the work of the IIT has become an international benchmark in its areas of research, it is without doubt entirely their achievement.

Our goal now is to build on our success and advance further in our areas of expertise. This we hope to achieve though our continuing commitment and our professionalism, a professionalism which will enable us to continue to enjoy the confidence of those national and international companies and organizations with whom we collaborate, in addition to the ICAI School of Engineering itself, the Comillas Pontifical University, and ICAI Engineers Association, for whose valuable support we would like to express our gratitude.

We wish to continue to earn this confidence by dint of our efforts to produce qualified professionals who are highly sought after by companies in the industrial sector, to encourage applied research which adds to the engineering knowledge base, and to pass on this knowledge so that it may be of use to society.

We are conscious that this is a difficult challenge in the current globalized and interdependent economy with faster an deeper technology change, especially in the energy, transport and telecommunication sectors. We face this challenge with enthusiasm, commitment and optimism. Technology is to play a crucial role in the history of humanity over the upcoming decades and we want to be part of this adventure.

I cordially invite you to get to know us better by reading these pages.

• Challenges of Universal Access to modern energy, and their impact on climate change. Models to support decision-making Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad. January 2015 - December 2017. (Rafael Palacios Hielscher, José Ignacio Pérez Arriaga, Andrés González García) AUNE is a tool-kit that facilitates that electrification agencies and governments of developing countries interact with private companies to define viable business models to provide universal energy access. To build strategies for universal access to energy services that are clean, reliable and affordable for cooking, heating, lighting, health, communications and productive uses requires tools that allow a careful assessment, centered in the diverse present and future needs of the beneficiaries and in their capacities, bringing together suitable innovative technologies, business initiatives, frontier financing and regulatory mechanisms according to the country strengths, to make use of the limited resources in an efficient manner. A problem of this magnitude cannot be seriously approached without private capital and, most likely, with the serious involvement of major energy companies. However, decentralized approaches either transitory or not cannot

• Innovative business models for market uptake of renewable electricity unlocking the potential for flexibility in the industrial electricity use European Commission. January 2015 - December 2017. (Pablo Frías Marín, Tomás Gómez San Román, Mercedes Vallés Rodríguez, Lorenzo August Simons) The flexibility of the industrial electricity demand has been identified as a potential that through innovative business models can facilitate further growth of variable renewable energy, while reducing the industrial electricity costs and contributing to the European energy policy goals. In this project the large industry is working with the renewable energy community to identify and implement business models for supplying variable renewable electricity to industrial users with flexibility in their demand, creating win-win situations. Several variations of the business models will be described covering different options like on and off-site renewable energy production. The business models will be adapted to 5 industrial sectors (chemicals, non-ferrous metals, cold storage, steel, and water treatment) and 6 target countries (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and UK). Tools will be developed to facilitate adoption of the business models: Model contracts adapted to the target countries and the different business models and a methodology that assesses the flexibility in industrial units and its value within the business models. The methodology will be transferred to third parties and will be applied in 6 case studies covering all target sectors and countries. Recommendations for improvements in the regulatory and market framework will be formulated and promoted. A top-down and a bottom-up methodology will be used to quantify the potential for further cost-effective grid integration of variable renewable electricity by the exploitation of the industrial electricity demand flexibility.

• Promotion of mini-grids for rural electrification Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammernarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. September 2016 - January 2017. (José Ignacio Pérez Arriaga, Fernando de Cuadra García, Andrés González García, Pedro Ciller Cutillas) Uganda’s low electrification rate of around 15% is one of the major challenges for economic development and poverty reduction, with business, education, health and communication services suffering. With 70% of the population living outside the cities, the on-grid projects foreseen nationally leave vast areas of the country and a huge section of the population without access to electricity. The promotion of Mini-Grids for Rural Electrification (Pro Mini-Grids) project addresses the biggest gap in Uganda’s electrification agenda, this being the very poor rate of progress in rural electrification, from an estimated 1% in 2001 to around 7% in 2013. In response to this issue, government and development partners have sought to find ways to accelerate access to electricity in order to meet the needs of the rural population.

• Smart-DS: synthetic models for advanced, realistic testing of distribution systems and scenarios U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E). September 2016 - August 2018. (Tomás Gómez San Román, Carlos Mateo Domingo, Fernando de Cuadra García, Rafael Cossent Arín, Pedro Ciller Cutillas, Fernando Emilio Postigo Marcos) The National Renewable Energy Laboratory, with partners MIT-Comillas-IIT and Alstom Grid, develop combined distribution-transmission power grid models. Distribution models are created using a version of Comillas’ Reference Network Model (RNM), adapted to U.S. utilities, and based on real data from a broad range of utility partners. The models are complemented by the development of customizable scenarios that can be used for accurate algorithm comparisons.

• Strategic network and generation expansion planning under uncertainty in the electricity market Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad. December 2016 - December 2019. (Sonja Wogrin) In an effort to mitigate climate change and to achieve a sustainable supply of energy, the Programa Estatal de Investigación, Desarrollo e Innovación Orientada a los Retos de la Sociedad – and in particular the Plan Estatal de Investigación Científica y Técnica y de Innovación 2013-2016 – seeks to promote research and development (R&D) of renewable energy (RE) technologies and to foster their adoption by the market. The challenge to obtain “safe, efficient and clean energy”, declared by the Estrategia Española de Ciencia y Tecnología y de Innovación, is also in line with the the EU’s Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan). Indeed, given the deregulation of energy sectors, i.e., both electricity and natural gas, in most EU member states, power companies would adopt RE technologies only if they contributed to their profit-maximising incentives. Furthermore, since RE technologies like wind and

42 IIT Annual Report 2016 - 2017

solar power are typically intermittent and uncertain in their output and geographically dispersed, their viability will depend on integration with the existing transmission network. However, grid-expansion decisions are taken by separate entities with differing and even conflicting objectives, i.e., welfare-maximising regulated transmission system operators (TSOs). Most policy-enabling models of the EU energy system overlook these intricacies and are based on assumptions of either perfect competition or perfect foresight, which do not adequately reflect the current paradigm and, thus, may lead to flawed market designs. Consequently, in order for the Spanish Plan Estatal’s objectives to be achieved, policymakers and market participants alike will require an enhanced understanding of how market fundamentals and strategic behaviour interact. Towards that end, STEXEM will develop completely new models that will be better suited for the research challenge of uncovering the impact of policy measures and market designs on investment and operational decisions in deregulated industries. Moreover, STEXEM will carry out state-of-the-art analyses based on stochastic optimisation and game theory in order to provide insights on efficient market design, the sustainable integration of RE and storage technologies, and the transmission investment necessary to maintain system security.

• Integrid - Demonstration of intelligent grid technologies for renewables integration and interactive consumer participation enabling interoperable market solutions and interconnected stakeholders European Commission. December 2016 - May 2020. (Rafael Cossent Arín, Pablo Frías Marín, José Pablo Chaves Ávila, Lorenzo August Simons, Leandro Lind) The InteGrid project intends to bridge the gap between citizens and technology in the area of smart distribution grids. The main objectives are: - To demonstrate how distribution system operators (DSOs) may enable the different stakeholders to actively participate in the energy market and to develop and implement new business models, making use of new data management and consumer involvement approaches, and - To demonstrate scalable and replicable solutions in an integrated environment that enable DSOs to plan and operate the network with a high share of distributed renewable energy sources (DRES) in a stable, secure and economic way, using flexibility inherently offered by specific technologies and interaction with different stakeholders. In order to achieve these goals, three large demonstration sites have been selected to be part of InteGrid: 1) «From smart grid to disruptive busines models» (Lisbon district, Portugal), «Consumer engagement towards sustainability» (Stockholm, Sweden), «Self-sustainability facilitation» (Ljubljana, Slovenia).

• Challenges of Universal Access to modern energy, and their impact on climate change. Models to support decision-making Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad. January 2015 - December 2017. (Rafael Palacios Hielscher, José Ignacio Pérez Arriaga, Andrés González García) AUNE is a tool-kit that facilitates that electrification agencies and governments of developing countries interact with private companies to define viable business models to provide universal energy access. To build strategies for universal access to energy services that are clean, reliable and affordable for cooking, heating, lighting, health, communications and productive uses requires tools that allow a careful assessment, centered in the diverse present and future needs of the beneficiaries and in their capacities, bringing together suitable innovative technologies, business initiatives, frontier financing and regulatory mechanisms according to the country strengths, to make use of the limited resources in an efficient manner. A problem of this magnitude cannot be seriously approached without private capital and, most likely, with the serious involvement of major energy companies. However, decentralized approaches either transitory or not cannot be ruled out and they are already taking place. This will happen only if an attractive and sustainable business model can be defined with the participation of the concerned communities. This project proposes to create a suite of computer models and methodologies that support global and local decision-making of governments, companies and practitioners, and that contribute meaningfully to the achievement of universal access to modern energy services, considering altogether the impacts over climate change and other energy policies.
