"I remember a few years ago a research colleague of mine saying with some indignation that the authors of scientific papers should receive royalties when they transfer copyrights to the publishers. The rationale behind it was simple...", Alípio Jorge

Free Nonsense

"There are features that unite us, both Portuguese and Brazilian, and that are bigger than the language. And those are apparent in our way of being and in the way we live, in the refusal to live regulatory shapes and procedures that castrate the spontaneous.", José Celso Freire Júnior

USE develops project for the islands of Cape Verde in Africa

USE develops project for the islands of Cape Verde in Africa

The Power Systems Unit (USE) will start working on a project for MARTIFER RENEWABLES, involving the elaboration of several studies to assess the impact of the integration of electricity generated from wind power and solar photovoltaic resources for the islands of Cape Verde.

The studies involve the identification of the need to install power storage systems in the islands and new grid infrastructures (lines and transformation capacity), so that it is possible to maximize the integration of renewable sources.

The project also involves the specification of the architecture and the functionalities of a SCADA/EMS system to define a daily operation strategy that makes it possible to maximize the integration of the production of electricity from renewable sources, without compromising the safety of the exploration of these electrical systems.

USE’s team working on this project is set up by Luís Seca, Helena Vasconcelos and Carlos Moreira.
