This paper briefly presents the current storage technologies and then describes the current scenario of Brazil in terms of the storage of large energy, given the characteristics of its interconnected system.
The alternative adopted and indicated as the most adequate has been the incorporation of the sources of renewable generation to the electrical systems. These sources have the advantage of their low levels of GHG emission along their generation chain and the cheapening of generation systems, given
To enable zero-carbon electrification of further sectors, renewable energy capacity needs to be expanded through utility-scale projects and distributed assets. At $307 billion in , investment volumes in renewable energy and storage are, however, far from the necessary levels to achieve this:
The real renewable power in Brazil comes from hydroelectric, where it is only second to China. Large hydropower plants account for around 80% of domestic electricity generation, providing flexible and low-emission base power supply. However, further expansion is constrained by the remoteness and
Markus Vlasits, president of the Brazilian Association of Energy Storage Solutions (Absae), explains that the calculation is based on the value of the megawatt-hour (R$/MWh) and in comparison with the need to operate thermoelectric plants, known for their high cost and dependence on fossil fuels.
Brazil’s National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL) has released a comprehensive technical note following Public Consultation No. 39/, focusing on refining the regulatory framework for Energy Storage Systems (ESS) within the Brazilian electricity sector. The regulation defines ESS broadly to
If you’re reading this, chances are you fall into one of three camps: policy wonks tracking Latin America’s green transition, investors eyeing Brazil’s booming renewables market, or energy nerds obsessed with grid-scale batteries. But here’s the kicker – Brazil’s energy storage policy isn’t just
