Technical requirements: Study aiming on identifying the main challenges deriving from the integration of variable, renewable energy sources into the Brazilian energy and electrical system.
In Brazil and other countries worldwide the importance of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar (PV) is growing.
One of the main goals of power system planning and operation is to comply with the reliability and economic feasibility criteria established for supplying electricity to consumers. Pursuing this goal, investment plans and operating strategies must foresee the possibility of failure of single components and other problems in the power system. Long-term planning for the Brazilian power system makes provision for significant expansion of renewable sources of energy with seasonal generation characteristics and/or intermittent operations (such as solar and wind power). In parallel to a gradual reduction in the regularisation capabilities of Brazil's hydropower segment, the integration of intermittent generation sources into its National Interconnected System (SIN) underscores the need for studies buttressing knowledge about the effects of renewable energy sources on the structural performance of the SIN.
This study is aiming on identifying the main challenges deriving from the integration of variable, renewable energy sources into the Brazilian energy and electrical system. Inputs for potential solutions for those challenges identified should be developed and presented in the report taking into account the peculiarities of the Brazilian energy system.
