Energy Test Bed
Experimentation Center for Electrical Grids (CERE)
Development Area: Renewable Energies / Electrical Energy
- Problem
The national electrical grid suffers from instability due to its decreasing inertia, caused largely by the penetration of renewable energies, which threatens the productive system. Additionally, there are gaps in technologies that can provide stability to the grid and that can be validated with real, reliable, and safe advanced infrastructure.
- Solution
Install and operate a test bed for the National Electrical System (SEN) and other industrial electrical gridsthat allows testing, validating, and accelerating the adoption of technological innovationsin a simulated, safe, and reproducible real-world environment. This will reduce integration times and risks, generating standardized safety protocols without compromising process operations.
- Expected Impact
- Generation of advanced infrastructure that facilitates the adoption of new technologies for electrical grid stabilization.
- Human Capital Development that allow understanding the dynamics of the electrical grid in an environment with high NCRE participation.
- Development, testing, and validation of new electrical grid control strategies in an environment with high distributed generation, electromobility, and NCRE.
