Innovation Grid

Purpose: Boosting the energy marketing strategy.

Objectives

Development of a methodology for valuing flexibility and the opportunity costs of using flexibility in a scenario of uncertainty and fluctuations in both demand and generation (supply/demand), due to its use in conjunction with non-dispatchable sources.

Key Results

  • Technical: reduction in computational cost of more than 95% when compared to decision-making techniques
  • Strategic: gains in operating efficiency with better returns on invested capital
  • Economic: Increased operating reserves and greater capacity for hydroelectric plants

Main information

Scope

Development of a methodology for valuing the flexibility attribute, specifically of the hydraulic source, capable of measuring and quantifying the systemic gain obtained through the generation flexibility provided by hydraulic plants
