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. Paco has advanced knowledge on the use of the Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) numerical weather prediction model in order to simulate solar and wind estimates over a region as well as on the use of multivariate statistics techniques and optimization methods to derive optimal distribution and sizing of wind farms and solar plants. During his scientific career, he has published more than 20 papers and maintains close collaboration with recognized researchers in the field.
