The Advanced Electro-Energetic Technologies Group (GTEA) is part of the Electrical and Energy Engineering Department, University of Cantabria, Spain. The GTEA research group carries out research in the following topics linked to Smart Grids: power quality, grid integration of renewable energies, predictive maintenance of power system assets and energy efficiency.

The impact of the research activities of the GTEA team has a strong and successful participation in serveral research national and international programmes, both public (PROFIT, CENIT, INNPACTO, RETOS, H2020) and private funded by important companies like REE (Spanish TSO), and IBERDROLA, VIESGO and GNF (Spanish DSO). The collaboration with the industry is a key point for the GTEA group that defines not only the R&D&I topics but also the services offered to the companies. Despite the fact that the research is focused on Smart Grids, the Group has a multidisciplinary composition with a strong background in both power systems, renewable energies, big data and machine learning analysis techniques, including the development of on-cloud web services. The group has solid international links with other groups working in the same topics. In addition the team has a strong capacity in terms of both quantity and quality of published papers.
