The Power Systems and Market Research Group has been created by begin of 2020 and is hosted by the Electrical Power Engineering Unit of University of Mons (Belgium). The research group is currently composed of 10 persons among which Prof. François Vallée (Associate Professor), Dr Zacharie De Grève (coordinator Erasmus Mundus programme on Smart Cities), Dr Jean-François Toubeau (FNRS fellow), Dr Bashir Bakhshideh Zad (senior researcher on the ADABEL Project) and 6 PHD students: -Adriano Arrigo (UMons funded - Distributionally Robust Optimization applied to Power and Gas Market Clearing) -Lorraine Codjo (joint PhD with École Centrale de Lille - Use of Smart metering to assess the network ageing) -Jeremie Bottieau (EPOC project - On the valorization of flexibility within modern and future market designs) -Ahmad Hosseini (BEOWIND project - Valorization of offshore power plants participating to primary reserve) -Martin Hupez (Assistant - New collaborative mechanisms for local energy communities) -Behzad Vatandoust (ADABEL project - Machine Learning informed demand response modeling in Adequacy studies) Through years, the PSM research group has developed research activities in (local as well as wholesale) electricity markets and (distribution and transmission) power systems planning. Practically, expertise was (and is still) developed in optimization under uncertainty, AI (both Machine and Reinforcement Learning) as well as Game Theory, all applied to Power systems and electricity markets problems. Currently, the research group is involved in the following projects : -Belgian funded: ADABEL (1.3 M€) EPOC (350 k€) BEOWIND (370 k€) PhairywinD (300 k€) BEST (1 joint PhD with UCLouvain - team of Prof. Emmanuel De Jaeger) -Walloon funded: ZELDA (100 k€).
