Power in Brasil: USE cooperates with UFRJ (Rio de Janeiro)
The Power Systems Unit (USE) will cooperate in a project in Brazil where the aim is to study the potential of distributed generation from alternative sources and its impact on the business of power distribution in AMPLA’s area of concession. This is a Brazilian company of the power sector controlled by the Spanish group ENDESA, which holds a vast area of concession in the State of Rio de Janeiro.
This is a partnership with the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), led by Alexandre Alves da Silva, and it strengthens the work collaboration after years of friendship and scientific relationship.
The aim is to supply AMPLA with all the necessary information for a better understanding of the potential of exploration of these distributed sources. The project is part of an R&D programme of ANEEL, the regulatory agency of the Brazilian power sector.
The member of USE responsible for this project is Manuel Matos.
