INESC TEC presents prototype in workshop in Brazil

INESC TEC presents prototype in workshop in Brazil

On 17 September, INESC TEC’s Power Systems Unit (USE) presented the first prototype of a computational tool developed as part of project COORDESEM (Efficient Methodology to Optimally Coordinate Directional Overcurrent Relays in Meshed Power Systems), as part of the 2nd Workshop of the project, which took place at the Companhia de Transmissão de Energia Elétrica Paulista (CTEEP) in São Paulo, Brazil.

The aim of the COORDSEM, which started in 2011, is to provide an innovative methodology and to implement a computational programme based on intelligent techniques so that it is possible to optimally coordinate directional overcurrent relays in meshed power systems, which makes it possible to configure different operation topologies of the power system. At the meeting, INESC TEC’s representatives had the opportunity to present the prototype of the tool and the results obtained thus far.

INESC TEC’s team attending this workshop was composed of Jean Sumaili, Hélder Leite and Mauro Rosa. Other than INESC TEC, the remaining partner organisations were also present at the workshop: the University of São Paulo in São Carlos (USP/SC), the CTEEP and the FAROL Consultoria & Pesquisa.

The INESC TEC researchers mentioned in this article are associated with the following partner institutions: INESC Porto and FEUP.
