Venidera has recently attended the XXIII SNPTEE, which is one of the biggest conferences in the area of electric power in Brazil. During this event, our team of researchers (which includes members from Venidera, Unicamp, USP and Princeton University) has published an introducing paper regarding the SMART-SEN project, which main goal (among many others) is to evaluate many technical aspects regarding the huge penetration of intermittent energy sources in the Brazilian power grid. This paper was granted as the third best paper to be presented under the topic of “Commercialization, economy and regulation of electric power”.
