Abstract	A Spanish research group has experience in the electricity market, grid integration of wind energy and power quality. The group may offer consulting activities with a high component of research. They are looking for the collaboration of companies involved in consulting related to electricity markets, integration of wind power in the electricity network, and power quality.
Details	This Spanish research group is formed by a number of electrical engineers with a large activity in consulting related to electricity markets, integration of wind power in the electricity network, and power quality. The group has an in-depth knowledge of the Spanish electricity industry, since it has cooperated with important companies and organisations in this sector. Different works in consulting, R&D national and international research projects and on-site courses have provided the group with experience in its fields of specialisation. The group members are familiar with different standard power system analysis tools such as PSS/E (Power System Simulator for Engineering tool), PSCAD/EMTDC (Power Systems Computer Aided Design/Electromagnetic Transients including DC), ATP (Alternative Transient Program), MATLAB/Power System Blockset, GAMS (General Mathematics Model Construction Software), and has developed programs following the end users requirements, such as SIPREÓLICO, the short-term wind power prediction tool now in use by Red Eléctrica de España, the Spanish TSO (Technical Services Operations). The results of this research has been acknowledged in the academic and industrial sectors, and several members of the research group participate in national and international working groups. Innovative Aspects: Experience in new energy sources, such as high integration of wind energy. Use or design of new optimisation and analysis tools. Experience in grid integration of wind energy.
