Scheduling Model for Renewable Energy Sources Integration in an Insular Power System

Insular power systems represent an asset and an excellent starting point for the development and analysis of innovative tools and technologies. The integration of renewable energy resources that has taken place in several islands in the south of Europe, particularly in Portugal, has brought more unc...
