Power System Generation and Inter-Connection Planning Model

CHARACTERISTICS

• This model is useful for multi-year electricity system planning studies, making it possible to analyze, optimize, simulate and develop hydrothermal power system expansion plans.
• The system is divided in the following seven modules, making possible to obtain and analyze an optimum expansion plan:
• • Control Module
  • Demand Module
  • Hydrological Module
  • Planning under Uncertainty Module
  • Hydro-thermal Module
  • Financial Module
  • Environmental Module
• The system considers parameters such as hydro risks, reservoir features, demand growth and hourly characteristics, fuel costs, among others.

SYSTEM BENEFITS:

The system establishes expansion options for power system generation and transmission in the medium and long term.

The system provides criteria for decision-making when developing projects and referential and ruling policies.

ADDRESSED TO:

SUPER can be used by Ministries of Energy, Universities, Companies and Public and Private Institutions, responsible for electricity system planning.
