Expansão da capacidade do atendimento de ponta no Sistema Interligado Brasileiro

Resumen

Within the current regulatory model of the Brazilian electricity sector, the lack of specific regulation for the market power reserve services in the long term leads to the underestimation of generation assets, especially in cases where additional investment would enable increasing the installed capacity of existing hydroelectric plants at low cost. A correct evaluation of such investment would have important consequences in the medium term, it would reduce the social energy shortage costs, both preventive, reflected by thermal dispatch, as well corrective, incurred in the recovery of production losses and others due to long-duration interruptions of energy supply.
