Jan 2009 – Dec 2011: Post Doctoral Research Associate

The University of Manchester
Faculty of engineering and physical sciences.
School of electrical and electronic engineering.
Electrical Energy and Power Systems (EEPS)
Manchester, United Kingdom.
Main activities and responsibilities:
From October 2009 to December 2011, Dr González-Longatt is part of the project “Real-time Frequency-based Corrective Control of
Future Networks – FreCon”, (EPRSC Project EP/G055211/1). Its aim is creates a wide-area intelligent system, that empowers the
future power grids by providing critical and extensive synchronised information in real-time, assessing system vulnerability quickly,
and performing timely corrective control actions based on system-wide considerations. Dr González-Longatt is responsible for the
design of a new closed-loop coordinated corrective control scheme, which can be applied to eliminating frequency instabilities,
cascading outages and catastrophic blackouts in networks.
From to January 2009 to October 2009, Dr González-Longatt was part of the large-scale Integrated Project co-founded by the
European Commission under the 7th Framework Programme in the energy area called ADDRESS. "Development of Interactive
Distribution Energy Networks". Research interests related to both projects include:
­- Investigate the potential and the requirements of active demand from the consumers’ and the electricity retailers’ perspectives.
­- Development of the emerging demand aggregation business whose role will be to gather, coordinate and offer the flexibilities of
consumers to the grid and electricity markets.
­- Development of a number of relevant scenarios representatives of the diversity of the possible evolutions of the European electricity
industry and its consumers.
