October 2024 - Internship of Master's students Mauricio Bautista and Oscar Galvis at Université de Sherbrooke
Master's students Mauricio Bautista and Oscar Galvis carried out a research internship at Université de Sherbrooke (Canada) under the tutorship of Prof. Maude Josée Blondin.
During their internship, Mauricio and Oscar worked on the integral modeling of the combined economic and environmental dispatch optimization problem, with special emphasis on the integration of renewable energies. The research project was developed in two key areas: the proposal of an optimization model that will incorporate the physical system constraints and the validation of the model using optimizers such as PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization).
