Simulating the 2021 power crisis in Brazil
Simulating the 2021 power crisis in Brazil
The 2001 blackout and the energy crisis (as it is being officially called) that is approaching quickly do have very different characteristics.
In 2001, there was not enough energy to supply the national integrated system. Hence the rationing.
Currently, with the park of thermal power plants available, there is a backup.
Between the cost of the 2001 power outage and the significant additional cost of dispatching the thermal plants in 2021, the current situation is much better!
The challenge is: preparing your company or institution to face the crisis in a planned way and minimizing the associated costs. The tradition of deciding in the heat of events can be chosen, but of course, it has - usually - a much higher cost.
If you would like to explore "planning", get in touch to find out your alternatives. You will certainly be surprised!
