Kiane Alves e Silva
Resumen profesional
Electrical engineer and Industrial PhD candidate at the Institute of Solar Energy of Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (IES-UPM), with a background in solar PV systems, storage modelling, renewable energy communities, and techno-economic assessment. My work combines PV generation modelling, energy performance indicators, economic assessment, and Python-based tools to support the design and evaluation of renewable energy systems. Previous experience includes off-grid PV systems, microgrids, system implementation support, and distributed renewable energy projects in Brazil and Spain.

Experiencia
Industrial PhD Researcher
Instituto de Energía Solar
2022.01 - 2026.05
- Developed Python-based simulation tools for the design and assessment of PV self-consumption systems with and without battery storage.
- Modelled hourly PV generation, demand profiles, energy sharing mechanisms, and local energy transactions.
- Conducted techno-economic assessments using indicators such as LCOE, IRR, payback period, self-consumption, and self-sufficiency.
- Assessed different PV and storage configurations to compare system performance, economic viability, and project design alternatives.
- Analyzed real consumption data, tariff structures, and export remuneration schemes under different renewable energy project configurations.
- Produced scenario-based assessments to evaluate how tariffs, export remuneration, and sharing rules affect consumer and prosumer outcome.
