About
Similarly to the “Mapping of pumped-storage plants”, by overlaying georeferenced socio-environmental layers and information related to generation potential, such as solar irradiation and wind speeds, PSR performs multicriteria analyses using GIS tools, which consider criteria for selection parameters and exclusion categories, for the mapping of viable areas for solar and wind energy development.
What we do
Data analysis using GIS tools
Analysis of spatial data available in geographic information systems on key technical and socio-environmental aspects for selecting the best locations for installing renewable energy parks.
Identification of socio-environmental constraints.
Definition of criteria to define socio-environmental constraints and identification of areas of lower environmental sensitivity and those considered prohibitive.
Mapping of potential areas for the implementation of solar and wind plants
Identification through analysis of geospatial data on solar radiation, wind speeds, and wind patterns, superimposed on information on land use, geology, and topography to verify the best technical conditions for plant implementation.
Multicriteria comparative analysis of candidate sites
Selection of the best locations for renewable energy plants through a multi-criteria analysis of the socio-environmental, technical, and economic aspects considered.
Integrated Environmental Assessment
Assessment of the cumulative and synergistic impacts of open-circuit or pump-back power plants on a river basin.
Evaluation of project integration into electric power systems
Analysis of the viability of incorporating reversible power plants into the Interconnected System, determining the optimal expansion that minimizes total expansion costs, including operation and investment, over the planning horizon.
