This project develops an intelligent hybrid generation system for R&D, focused on a control capable of stable and optimized operation and maintenance. The central pillar of this innovation is the development of the STORM (Stochastic Optimization for Renewable Energy Management) model, which uses real-time simulators and stochastic optimization algorithms to ensure qualified performance based on temporal forecasts on a scale of hours, days and months.
Solar and wind intermittency in power plants can cause instabilities throughout the electrical system and the local grid. Recent technological solutions point to the integrated use of wind and solar plants at the same location. This project, through the intelligence of the STORM model, contributed to a smarter integration of the national energy system and one better suited to local characteristics, based on wind energy integrated with other energy conversion processes. Equipment and systems are introduced that represent an innovative alternative for improving the quality, efficiency and reliability of the electrical power generation system. The project is thus configured as a platform for the development of solutions to improve intelligent and integrated operation, supervision and control, providing the best emerging technologies for the electricity sector.
