Energy Management
■Throughout the year, the Microgrids Project hosted
workshops with customers involved in the proofs of
concept (PoCs) to test and calculate the feasibility a
new product that allows, through a set of hardware
and software, the integrated management of sources
of energy generation, storage and consumption at a
given customer. The project was ended and shows
potential to be one of the first innovation products to
be launched in the market.
In the Urban Greenhouses Project, we seek
technological and innovative assembly solutions
that optimize the lighting system, reduce operating
and acquisition costs and increase the productivity
of vertical greenhouses. A low-cost, programmable
lighting system was developed, capable of providing
the best combination of wavelengths (colors) for
the plants in their different growth phases. The
project was developed in partnership with the
CSEM Brazil Innovation Center and the BeGreen
Fazendas Urbanas startup.
Energy Efficiency
■ Alongside MovE, Barassa & Cruz Consulting, Netz
Engenharia, and Movida, we lead the Electromobility
Project, which seeks to develop and test business
models in Electromobility and the conditions to
make them feasible from the point of view of a
renewable energy generator, focused on becoming
an aggregator on the demand side. The project is
the result of Aneel's Research and Development
Call Notice No. 22. In 2022, in partnership with
urban mobility companies, the project conducted
a new proof of concept to evaluate the technical
and financial parameters linked to the use of app
transportation with electric vehicles.
Planning of Electricity Systems
■The Energy Fund Project foresees the
development of a portfolio management
methodology and software for trading electricity,
applying the concept of Energy Fund. The project
aims to analyze and prove the scale benefits
associated with the aggregation of loads in a single
portfolio, in a model similar to that of investment
funds in the financial market. The main feature
of the proposed methodology is to enable the
monitoring of an aggregated portfolio of several
institutions in a transparent and auditable way,
allowing performance simulations based on real
historical data.
■We made progress in second phase of the
pioneering VPP Project (Virtual Power Plant). The
project develops innovative software to manage
and aggregate electric loads of free or potentially
free consumers, in the commercial and industrial
segments, offering greater transparency and
simplicity in managing their energy resources
and making it easier to hire and manage their
energy agreements. In this second phase, we
hired an energy startup, GreenAnt to integrate
data based on the standardization of the system's
interface (API). Thus, the tool integrates with our
systems, searching for customer information and
contracts directly in our energy retailer data base.
The executor of this new phase was the Certi
Foundation for technological research.
