The Power Operation Plan report, recently released by the National System Operator, shows the Brazilian electricity sector from 2020 to 2024.
It is an interesting and even easy read because it is an executive summary.
Our generation matrix has become more diversified. Solar and wind (intermittent sources) gaining importance.
But...the Brazilian matrix was not designed for the flexibility that intermittency requires.
For the time being this theme has not "appeared" since these sources were and still are only a small, marginal slice of the "cake". But with its advances, it will be desirable to find out how to address this challenge competitively.
Our tradition of just passing on to the costs paid by everyone would be terrible because we are already laggards when the comparison is with the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa).

The Energy Central Power Industry Network is based on one core idea - power industry professionals helping each other and advancing the industry by sharing and learning from each other.
If you have an experience or insight to share or have learned something from a conference or seminar, your peers and colleagues on Energy Central want to hear about it. It's also easy to share a link to an article you've liked or an industry resource that you think would be helpful.
