Dr. Francisco J. Santos-Alamillos
Dr. Francisco J. Santos-Alamillos is currently a postdoc fellow in the Solar Radiation and Atmosphere Modeling (MATRAS) group at the University of Jaén (Spain) . His research is mainly focused on the evaluation of solar and wind resources to facilitate a reliable integration of these renewable energies into the existing supply infrastructure. This research aims to explore the spatiotemporal variability of wind and solar resources in a region in order to obtain improved renewable energy scenarios in terms of reducing the variability of the aggregated production and matching the electricity demand by strategically locating and sizing wind farms and solar plants.
