My job as a teacher has allowed me to participate in the formation of more than 20 generations of professionals at the level of Bachelor and as supervisor more than 40 thesis in Graduate and Undergraduate programs.

An optimal cogeneration model considering environmental constraints
Martin Tusco, Undergraduate Thesis, Universidad de Tarapacá, 2009

Since the penetration of distributed generation (DG) is increasing, the future systems should be designed to maximize technical results as well as for maximum benefit for minimum cost. For several reasons, future generation in Chile include many more units of rather smaller size. For now, the penetration of DG on power systems is relatively low, measured either in terms of aggregate system load or available generating capacity. In these past three years, the researcher has been actively engaged in research about the impact of large-scale DG penetration on power distribution networks.
