Energy Clic will present, in aweekly basis, a summary of each of the 30 articles of the fourth edition of Revista de R&D of the National Energy Agency (ANEEL), launched on 08/17, during the 6th Congress of Technological Innovation in Electric Power (CITENEL) and 2nd Seminar of Energy Efficiency in the Electricity Sector (SEENEL) held in Fortaleza (CE). The full articles can be found here (Revistade R&D 4th Edition). The presentation will be made according to the order of inclusion in the magazine. The first, developed by Companhia Energética de São Paulo (CESP) is a methodology that helps protect against flooding through reservoir monitoring. The 30 selected articles explain the projects undertaken and results achieved, such as combating the theft of energy, improving the maintenance of overhead power lines, optimization of conservation of voltage transformers, improving the measurement of consumption, monitoring plants reservoirs operations to reduce risks, among other contributions.

Methodology helps protect against flooding through reservoir monitoring
The Protection Methodology Associated with the Implicit Return Time of Flood (PATRICh) in flooded valleys downstream of hydroelectric plants allows setting flood protection more precisely, considering monitoring, control and operation of reservoirs, the dynamics of use and occupation of the valleys and the perception of risk by society. The methodology, developed by Companhia Energética de São Paulo (CESP), State University of Campinas (Unicamp), Polytechnic University of São Paulo (EPUSP) and Hidrasoft Engenharia e Informática, combines the method used in the Return Time used in the Brazilian electric sector with state of the art in risk analysis. The goal was to define an acceptable risk criteria used for flood control, based on a set of decision-making components that take into account economic, social, environmental and physical or operational damages to the plant itself, or even to human life, as well as impacts to the use of multiple water and the institutional image of the concessionaire. The risk range varies from negligible to catastrophic for each of the aspects. They determine a combination of factors for each site to be protected, to standardize the criteria for protection from the establishment of acceptable risk. This acceptable risk is achieved by building arrays that consider the complexity and severity of consequences and likelihood of floods, from which synthesis descriptors were formulated. The methodology applied in Jupiá Hydroelectric Plant, in São Paulo, was more comprehensive than the issues currently considered in the decision-making level and for this reason, more robust and consistent.
