Francisco Martín Martínez

Investigador del Instituto de Investigación Tecnológica., Universidad Pontificia Comillas

Francisco Martín was born in Madrid in 1990. In September 2011 he joined the Institute for Research in Technology (IIT) as an invited student in the Intelligent Systems Area (ASI) where he carried out his End of Career Project: Energy Management of a Smarthome. He obtained an Industrial Engineering degree (major in Electrical ) in June 2013, a Master's degree in Research in Engineering Systems Modeling in June 2015, and his PhD in July 2017, all of them from Universidad Pontificia Comillas. During the PhD student period, he made a 3-month stay in the Smart Polygeneration Microgrid (SPM) of the University of Genoa in Savona, where he was able to test his models.

He has developed several optimization models and algorithms in Matlab, Gurobi, GAMS, C and C++ and run them in different clouds. He is the main author of several versions of SPLODER: buildings, buildings real time, aggregator, microgrids and system.

He has published several works about the electrical sector in high impact factor magazines and conferences, some at system level and also some focused on the consumers and DERS. He has also participated in technical studies and in book chapters together with other IIT researchers.

He is currently working as Researcher at the Institute for Research in Technology (IIT) where he works on projects for companies from the electricity sector (Endesa, Iberdrola, Gas Natural…). As a teacher, he has supervised more than 15 final projects of degree, master or final degree projects and given classes of digital electronic systems at ICAI.

He is also Co-founder of Stemy Energy S.L. where he works as Head of Hardware Department, Regulation Advisor and Software developer.

My research focuses on demand flexibility, energy usages, optimization models and specifically on aggregation and microgrids issues. I am developing studies in electrical systems and the impact of different energy resources
