• Resource and project analysis:

– Technology performance and resource

analysis with limited data

• Analysis of publically available information

• “back-engineering” resource/technology performance indicators.

– Regulatory analysis for Renewables

• Integration, “conseciones”.

– Development of a private database

with more than 100 projects (Wind, Solar, CHP, MiniHidro, geothermal)

• Very detailed, large amounts of data. • Design, simulations, cash flow, resource

data, technology, etc.

AREAS

Performance + Competition

– Performance based

regulation (PBR) for utilities: Transmission & distribution

– Competition assessment and

policy contributions for local LNG (Liquified Natural Gas)

– Competition and market

power in spot an day-ahead markets.

Policy for distributed PV and CHP

– Policy design for shared

distributed energy resources (DG / DER)

– 3-party model for shared

resources (3P-DER)

– PV building integration

– Cogeneration policy,

standards, norms.
