The studies in the scope of the Economic
Impacts of Climate Change on Renewable
Generation for Optimization of the Brazilian
Electric Matrix Project, or simply, the Climate
Risk Project, are carried out based on the
application of global climate models and
socioeconomic scenarios from the Coupled
Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6
(CMIP6). The aim is to analyze the climate
change impacts on our generation assets,
for the 2030 and 2050 horizons. The studies
use our generation complexes to simulate,
through the digital twin technique, the possible
impacts on hydroelectric, solar and wind power
plants, using as a starting point long-term
climate models and forecasts developed by
WayCarbon and Enacom consulting firms. We
believe that the continual monitoring of the
assessment of extreme natural resource events
is fundamental, especially the unpredictability
that surrounds such occurrences.
The Vegetation Control in Solar Power Plants
(photovoltaic) seeks solutions and techniques
to control vegetation, as it can have a significant
impact on the performance of these assets when
they grow uncontrollably. The Centro Universitário
de Lins (SP) is testing three different techniques
and should conclude its work in 2023.
The Sustainable Exploitation of Natural
Compounds in Macrophytes Present in
Hydropower Reservoirs Project aims to combat
the negative effects of unwanted aquatic plant
growth in our reservoirs through research that
leads to commercial uses for these plants.
BioAtiva and the São Paulo State University
(UNESP) will produce macrophyte biomasses
or extracts with photoprotective effects or an
effect that can reduce stress and stimulate plant
growth. We will search for sources of relevant
compounds for plant protection and with potential
use in human or animal health, relevant to health
and agriculture. We will also assess the extracts'
ability to reduce water stress, improve nutrition,
and increase crop growth and productivity.
The main goal of the Computer System for
Increasing the Safety of People, Assets, and
the Environment at Hydroelectric Power Plants
Project, or simply the Human Reliability Project,
consists in developing, testing, and applying
a computer system that will prepare dynamic
procedures to support decision-making in order
to increase the safety of people, assets, and the
environment at hydroelectric power plants, in
partnership with Radix.
