About

Graduate in Energy Engineering and Master’s degree in Smart Grids and Distributed Generation, with a profile focused on electromobility and electrical grids. I have developed solid expertise in batteries, with the ability to address everything from the sizing of self-consumption installations, including an understanding of the regulatory framework and proper battery sizing, to electromobility applications. My experience covers the development of battery state estimation algorithms (SoX), their control and management through the BMS, as well as the execution of experimental tests on real batteries. In addition, I have gained knowledge of local flexibility markets, including how they are being implemented, how they operate from a technical and regulatory perspective, and their practical application. In this context, I have developed and analyzed, using Python, the behavior of different energy installations under flexibility signals, assessing their technical and economic response. I work confidently with Python, MATLAB, Simulink, Modelica, Excel and SolidWorks, and I am characterized by adaptability, teamwork and continuous learning. I am a native speaker of Basque and Spanish, with an advanced level of English.

    Este trabajo se enmarca en la línea de investigación relacionada con los mercados locales de flexibilidad. Hoy en día, no existen en España mercados locales de flexibilidad, si bien se están dando pasos para su creación, siguiendo la hoja de ruta europea que los está impulsando como medida para mejorar la eficiencia de la red y acelerar la transición energética. En este trabajo se analizarán y validarán soluciones tecnológicas orientadas a habilitar la participación de los recursos energéticos distribuidos en esos futuros mercados de flexibilidad.
