The greater this consumption is, the better the quality of life. If we observe the history of electrical energy and its commercial use, since Edison and Westinghouse, we will come to the conclusion that it has been the device responsible for the development in the last and in this century. Countries which mastered this technology had a level of development much faster. Therefore, they were able to gather riches for their population. In the early 1970's the world was shaken by the oil crisis. This fact made some countries - especially those ones which based their industrial production on oil - review their position, looking for alternative elements for energy. Thus, electric energy was one of the elements that made a solution to the problem possible trying to meet the needs of different sectors. As for the 1990's, we have to face another challenge: The globalist economic policies. Again, the electrical sector acts as a pioneer before a new era. Downsizing, Total Quality and Privatization Processes are taking place in South America and aim at making companies ready for the this century. It is under this environment that the fifth edition of Latin - American Congress: Electricity Generation and Transmission takes place. That is the second time in Brazil. This Congress aims at presenting new developments in Power Engineering, provide professional upgrade, and experience exchange among its participants, and mainly, make a mutual understanding possible between the university and the company. This Congress in the area of Energy Generation and Transmission was held firstly in 1993 in Viña del Mar (Chile), the second in Mar del Plata (Argentina) in 1995 afterwards, the third in Campos do Jordão (Brazil) in 1997, and the fourth in Viña del Mar (Chile) in 2000. Since the first event, the number of articles submitted has been increasing continuously. After some hard work in which we could count on different kinds of support, especially from the workers at São Paulo State University, Valparaiso Catholic University and Mar del Plata National University, we made it through th this end product that include the Book of Abstracts and the CD-Rom of the Proceedings of 5 Latin-American Congress: Electricity Generation and Transmission, with ISBN Index. Finally, not only do I hope this week in São Pedro be productive for all people involved, but I also hope that you all may exchange experiences, get in touch with new tendencies in your area and get to meet other professional aiming at a technical and humanistic evolution, so important nowadays.

Dr. Ariberto Pereira da Cunha, 333 12516-410, Guaratinguetá - SP - BRAZIL Phone: (55)(12)3123-2836 Fax: (55)(12)3123-2835 E-mail: [email protected] Home Page: www.feg.unesp.br/~clagtee 1) OBJECTIVE The growing demand for electric energy in the Latin-American countries requires a greater quality of service and efficiency in the area of techno-economic operations. This brings the constant need for improvement in the growth planning and the levels of the operation of the electric energy systems. The economic and technical aspects must be taken into consideration, as well as the environmental impact of implantation of new power plants and the need to introduce new technologies, control systems and safety measures. Gradually a process of integration among the Latin-American countries has emerged, as the electric energy needs are similar, including the generation facilities, for these countries. 2) THE HISTORY OF CONGRESS Considering the above mentioned points, UNESP - São Paulo State University (Brazil), UCV - Valparaiso Catholic University (Chile) and UNMP - Mar del Plata National University (Argentina) have joined forces in order to create a forum that permits a valuable exchange of experiences concerning the methodology for the analysis of operation, planning, and the introduction of new technologies that could contribute to the improvement of the electric energy generation and transmission systems. This has become a reality with the creation of these Latin-American congresses, which take place in the distinct cities of the Latin-American countries. The first congress took place in October, 1993, in Viña de Mar, Chile. The second congress took place in November, 1995, in Mar del Plata, Argentina. The third congress took place in November, 1997, in Campos do Jordão, in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. The fourth congress took place in November, 2000, in Viña del Mar, Chile. The Fifth congress will be held in São Pedro City, State of São Paulo, Brazil, from November 16 th to 20th, 2003.

The CEPEL (Electric Power Research Center) and the COPPE/UFRJ (PPE - Program of Energy Planning) have joined forces to develop a set of methodological tools to incorporate environmental criteria on sectorial planning, in accordance with the principles of strategic environmental assessment. The methodological tools and the study case developed in the Araguaia-Tocantins watershed are presented in this work. Keywords: Environmental planning, Hydropower generation expansion.

These tools are applied either by entrepreneurs who want to invest in that market or by government agencies in charge of environmental licensing. Among the tasks carried out by the latter are project guidance and authorization for the operation of new plants. Two different approaches for thermoelectric plants location are analyzed in this work. In the first one, called LITOM, the solutions are presented as the most suitable cells (in that case, areas of twenty-five by thirty-three kilometers that can comprise one or more municipalities) for the installation of a plant using a specific technology for electric energy generation. The system can also point out the most appropriate technology for any particular cell. In that approach the system was designed to be applied specifically in the state of São Paulo, which has been divided for that purpose in 416 cells containing all 645 municipalities. Three databases (cells, technologies, and fuel type) contain all data needed for the analyses. The second approach, called SIGTE, is a GIS-based model in which most data (such as the municipalities, the roadways, the railways, the pipelines, the transmission lines, etc.) are represented as graphical elements or layers in a Geographic Information System environment. As the input data is georeferenced, the model becomes a reasonable representation of reality on which the system can rely on to conduct the spatial analyses. The results of the comparative analysis suggest that the second model can be seen as an improvement of LITOM. Although SIGTE can be transferred for use in different areas, it has been also tested in the state of São Paulo,in order to allow a direct comparison of the results of the two models.

Av. Lib. San Martín (oeste) Nº 1109, J5400ARL San Juan Argentina Tel/Fax: +54 264 4226444 [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] This work presents a mathematical development to solve the optimal medium and long term operation planning of a hydrothermal power generation system. This problem is typically divided into two sub problems, namely, a master problem of reservoir optimization, solved through stochastic dynamic programming, and its subordinated problem, the economical scheduling, which solves the weekly thermal optimization by using the hydropower energy proposed by the master problem. Usually, the reservoir optimization proposes weekly hydropower energy per reservoir, after that, for each stage, the subordinated problem deduces the hydropower energy from the load by means of some heuristic criteria, optimizes the operation of thermal power units, and verifies the accomplishment of the system operative constraints. This work presents a model based on optimization methods with constraints, which aim at solving the economic dispatch sub problem. It optimizes simultaneously the placement of the proposed hydropower energy and the operation of the thermal blocks, by accounting for the network and operative constraints. Subsequently, the simulation results of a typical system are presented, and some variations in costs, nodal prices, Lagrange multipliers, etc., produced by variations in parameters of some system components, are analyzed. Finally, a mention is done on the results obtained through each of two mathematical programming methods: nonlinear programming, and iterative quadratic programming. Keywords: Optimization Methods, Medium Term Optimal Dispatch, Hydrothermal Systems, Mathematical Programming Methods. B-043 COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT METHODOLOGIES APPLIED TO THE FLOOD CONTROL Marco Aurélio de Almeida Castro Adriano Alber de França Mendes Carneiro Marinho Gomes de Andrade Departamento de Engenharia Elétrica Escola de Engenharia de São Carlos - USP CEP 13566-590 - São Carlos SP Brasil Fax: (55) (16) 273-9372 {maurelio, adriano}@sel.eesc.sc.usp.br, [email protected] These work present four methodologies, some between the most used and other innovators, applied to the flood control in hidroelétricas plants. Are them: (i) Method of Curve Volume X Duration, the first method applied in the Brazilian Power System; (ii) Method of Curve Volume X Duration by Windows which applies the concept of time windows to the method (i); (iii) Method of the Critical Trajectories, currently very applied in the Brazilian Power System, which is based on a recursive algorithm; (iv) Method of the Stochastic Differentiate Equations which shapes the water inflows peaks as a Markov Diffusion Model. The methodologies are applied to hydroelectric plants of the Brazilian Hydroelectric System, determining different empty volumes. The impacts of these different empty volumes on the energy generation are evaluated throughout simulation studies.

Many ED problems have been proposed in the literature presenting different levels of representation for the transmission and generation systems. Conventional optimization algorithms, most of them classified as Calculus-based (CB) methods, have presented some drawbacks when solving certain ED problems presenting non-convexity and/or non-differentiability issues. This is case when valve-point loading is considered for thermal generating units in ED problems, or also when avoidance zones of operation are considered for hydraulic generating units. Such problems are the basic motivation for the use Genetic Algorithms (GA) to solve ED problems. The formulation for the proposed ED problem is described as a trade-off between minimum transmission power losses and minimum generation costs. In mathematical terms the proposed ED formulation is described as a multiple-objective problem presenting many local minima. To explore the non-differentiability features of the problem, valve- point loading are also considered for thermal generating units. The Genetic Algorithm is applied to IEEE test systems and comparisons with a previously proposed CB method, based on a Hopfield approach, are also provided. Results point-out the importance of exploiting global optimization spaces in ED problems through GA methods, when compared to local search procedure. Results also depict the importance of considering non-differentiability features in the ED problem. Generation cost reduction in the range of 3 to 8 % have been provided by the proposed GA solution approach in the tests performed.

The proposed algorithm uses as solution technique the primal-dual methodology of interior points, making the representation of the expansion possible, inside the Hessiana matrix and vector solution gradient. The expansion is represented by the hyperbolic tangent function commonly used in neural networks and the transmission system is modeled by the load flow DC, considered as ideal for problems of planning of transmission systems. The results presented in this work refer to Brazil's south area equivalent system.

The traditional solutions for the increase in the generation capacity, transmission and distribution, local or regional, can be expensive and generally they request a planning of medium to long term. In this way, innovative solutions can offer good business for the sector, resulting in public benefits. In this market, technological progresses have been positioned the distributed generation (DG) as a great potential solution. New developments in technologies of electric power generation in small scale, considering reciprocating engines, Stirling engines and mainly gas microturbines, have been providing credibility for the DG as premise of power generation either onsite or close to final consumer. Considering the scenario above, it is the aim of this work to describe and to compare, taking in to account technical and economic aspects, the technologies mentioned previously, adapted to the Brazilian conditions. It is also made an evaluation of the employment of different fuels for each one of these technologies, for example diesel, alcohol, natural gas and biomass. The considered variants are: conventional separated heat and power (SHP) and combined heat and power (CHP), and the analysis is made from the a consumer's point of view that is for opting among these alternatives with a 45 kW demand. The results allow comparing the generation costs of each one of the technologies, and it was verified a great potential for CHP using biomass, mainly when the prime mover is the Stirling engine and microturbine.

The Lagrange multipliers are obtained through an optimal power flow program (OPF). We used the primal dual logarithmic barrier method to solve the OPF problem. First, the lagrange multipliers are obtained in a uncongested state of the net. Then, the net is brought to congestion reducing the limits of transmission systems. In this situation, the new multipliers are found. In the congested case, a load increment is accomplished to analyze the behavior of the objective function. Tests were accomplished in 5 and 30 bus systems, where the Lagrange multipliers behavior and objective function could be observed in several study conditions.

(016) 2739366 ramal 229 {belati, geraldo}@sel.eesc.usp.br An approach to solve the perturbed Active Optimal Power Dispatch (AOPD) problem is proposed in this study. The methodology consists in obtaining the optimal solution for the initial problem via a program of AOPD, and using sensitivity to estimate new solutions after the occurrence of some perturbations in the problem. These perturbations consist in load variations in some buses of the system. The sensitivity technique is based on both the information of second order and otimality conditions. The computation of the solutions after the occurrence of perturbations in the system does not depend of initial and correction parameters such as penalty and barrier used in the conventional AOPD programs. The numerical results demonstrate the potential of this methodology for the solution of the perturbed AOPD problem. Keywords: Sensitivity analysis, optimal power flow, Perturbation.

These approaches to the reactive allocation problem can be classified in four sets: analytical methods, numerical programming methods, heuristic methods and methods based on artificial intelligence. In the present paper, the proposed solution method for reactive (VAr) planning is based on the numerical programming method. This solution handles the determination of the buses, where the reactives will be allocated, starting from the analysis of the Lagrange multipliers. The Lagrange multipliers associated with the reactive power equality constrains are then obtained from an optimal power flow program. From an initial choice of buses, a linear programming problem whose objective function is to minimize the amount of reactive power to be installed is built. The solution of linear programming problem in turn moves back to the problem for an operational solution to be searched, respecting all problem constraints. The proposed approach was analyzed using the WARD & HALE 6 buses system, AEP-30 buses system and IEEE-118 buses system and presented excellent results.

An improvement is obtained simulating control actions in the procedures used to tracing the P-V curves. They are traced with solutions calculated by Optimal Power Flow (OPF) routine. The OPF problem is solved by projected reduced gradient approach (Dommel and Tinney, 1968). The control actions calculated by OPF routine are implemented within a procedure to trace the P-V curves. The increase of load on load buses (PQ), with power fact constant or reactive load constant, is taken into account. The Q-V curves are plotted with traditional technique relate to points of P-V curves traced with aid of OPF routine. The curves traced through presented approach improve the information level used in operation planning and control of power systems. This can present more realistic limits on overload of systems and to avoid critical situations in operation environment. The control actions simulated in the numeric presented tests to trace P-V curves are: re-dispatched of generation or voltage magnitudes in controlled buses. The tests were realized at standard IEEE 30, 57 and 118 power systems. The Brazil's procedures and criteria of voltage stability analysis are discussed.

Indices based on the concepts of coherence, transient energy conversion between kinetic energy and potential, and three dot products of state variables (obtained starting from simulations step the step in the domain of the time), it has been told as promising. The experience has been showing that when these indices are applied individually, it is obtained good results only in special cases. Experience shows that composite indices (which consider the influence of several indices) have been suggested, and experiences with the use of the average arithmetic of these it has been presenting better results. However, it is waited that a composition in that is valued the best indexes result in better performance. This way this work presents a composition in a systematic way, where the composition of the indexes is obtained by the sum of each individual index multiplied by its respective coefficient (weigh). The calculations of the weights were obtained starting from a statistical treatment, as described in this work. The obtained indices in a systematic way, were compared with the composition by the arithmetic average. This way of classification of the contingencies drives to a fast and reliable conclusion about the stability of the system. The tests, results and discussions are presented using two power systems: the IEEE17 system and a South Brazil system.

In order to evaluate the frequency of occurrence associated with the operating system states: healthy, marginal and at risk, the proposed methodology uses the nonsequential Monte Carlo simulation, a non-aggregate Markov load model and a new estimating process of frequency indices, designated as the one-step forward state transition, which is very flexible and computationally efficient. New test functions are proposed to estimate the well-being indices, based on this estimating process.

The tariff has increased significantly at the peak hours when the demand is higher (typically between 6 and 9 P.M.). Therefore it became interesting for those great consumers, most of which are large industries, to buy cheaper electric energy during the off-peak hours, to store this energy and to use it during the peak hours. From the standpoint of the technology, this possibility has some drawbacks on what comes to the well-known difficulties to store electric energy, and this demands the use of an electric power conversion system. This work seeks to analyze the technical and economical viability of producing electrolytic hydrogen using off-peak electric power and reconverting this gas into electricity on the peak hours through the use of fuel cells. The study uses the tariff differentials for the electric power along the day and the power consumed by an industry on the peak hours as parameters, aiming to determine the cases in which the use of the re-conversion system is profitable. Technical data has been obtained through a small scale and complete system consisting of a water electrolysis hydrogen generation system, gas treatment and storage components and fuel cells to convert hydrogen back into electricity. This system is thoroughly described and presented in this work. This system also has another important feature that must be highlighted and which is its use as a backup in case of blackouts substituting any auxiliary power generators.

A simulation program is used to simulate the pv power generation over the time period of one year from pv systems located in 22 meteorological stations distributed on the area of the State. Based on these data, a generation model is elaborated at municipal level for the State. The compensation effect is defined as the possibility of reducing levels of flotation of the total production of electricity through the geographical distribution of power systems. Finally, the capacity effect, describing the minimum power production of a photovoltaic generating park, as well as the effects related to the connection of these with the conventional generation park are examined. So, it is possible to estimate the possible reduction of the generation capacity of the conventional system starting from renewable systems.

At the end of the last century one gave credit that the referring problems to the lack of oil as well as the crises of this product, fruit of regional conflicts, could motivate the development of alternative energy sources. What was seen in the truth was that problems as the greenhouse effect and the bad quality of air in the great cities, became a strong factor generating less tolerant laws. This forced the world to think about an energy model that could handle the energy demand, but also prevent environmental polution. An alternative very cited in the scientific field is the fuel cell. This paper is destinated to the study made by COPPE/UFRJ of a type of fuel cell little searched in the world: Direct Oxidation Fuel Cell of álcoois DOFC, applied in the developed prototype.

In small systems these differences can be absorbed by project “safety coefficients”. On the other hand, power losses of this order are unacceptable in medium and large systems. This context evidences the importance of the correct photovoltaic generators characterization. Although the complete characterization includes both electric and mechanical tests, it is from the current-voltage curve that are obtained most of the parameters that rule the photovoltaic module behavior, allowing the detection of defects that would not be detected otherwise. In this paper is presented the methodology employed by the Laboratório de Energia Solar of the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul for the experimental determination of the characteristic curve of photovoltaic modules under natural sunlight. The employed procedures are described as well as the data acquisition system, constituted by a set of multimeters connected to a computer. A dedicated software controls the multimeters and the electronic load connected to the module under test. The multimeters measure simultaneously the irradiance on the test plane, the voltage and the current of the module. 500 currentvoltage pairs are acquired in less than two seconds. A refrigerating device used to control the temperature of the module is also described. A curve of a calibrated module obtained with the described equipment is compared to its calibration curve and discussed the results.

If these devices were to be built with bifacial solar cells, active on both faces, it would be possible to obtain a cost reduction. The optical system of the plain static concentrator module, MEC-P, is based on diffuse reflection and it is composed by a box with no lid with the internal surface white painted The set of bifacial solar cells are assembled over the optical system. The solar radiation that passes among the cells incides on the white surface, and it is reflected back in order to reach the rear face of the cell. The aim of this paper is to optimize and to analyze the MEC-P which was modified in order to make its industrial manufacturing easier. The distance between the solar cells and the diffuse reflector and the distance between the strip of solar cells affect the module performance. Such geometric parameters must be optimised considering the incident radiation on the rear face bifacial cells, as well as the module cost. To achieve this goal, a equation set was developed to determine the view factor between strip of solar cells and the reflector diffuse surface. The best thickness of the optical system and the best distance between the cell strips is 6 cm and 10 cm, respectively. The concentrator will have a total area of 60 cm x 120 cm. The MEC-P module cost is of US$ 2,3 per watt, while the cheapest standard module found in the market is US$ 3,3 per watt, resulting in a cost reduction of approximately 30%. The behaviour of the concentrator module and standard module is similar during the year. Keywords: Solar energy, Static concentrator modules, Diffuse reflection.

The main disadvantage of this technology is its relative high initial cost when it's compared with conventional resources. One way to overcome this problem is to concentrate the solar radiation on the solar cells by an optical system. The goal of this paper is to present the development of the static concentrator photovoltaic module HELIUS-33X, designed for stand-alone PV systems. The solar cells are bifacial and they are installed in the entry aperture. A new method to design linear optical systems is presented, based on the non-imaging optics. A PV module with constant response during the year was took into account, when it is slopped 48º in Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil. The computer tools and the rules of the non-imaging optics were used to design the optical system of the HELIUS-33X. The shape of the optical system was designed considering small parts, with 0.5 cm each one. The orientation of these small parts of the reflector was calculated and, then, the optical system was designed with the software Corel Draw. The module has a geometric concentration of four and the optical concentration varies from 1.0 to 2.2. The increasing of the output energy, when the static concentrator module HELIUS-33X is compared to a standard one, is 19% in the summer and 46% in winter. In this way, the output energy during the year fits in well with a typical load demanded by the user of a stand-alone PV system.

This reduction happens due to reduced processing time and the amount of thermal and cleaning steps. However, phosphorus and boron diffusion on silicon wafers may introduce impurities, but on the other hand, it can also do gettering (extraction and capture of undesired impurities). The aim of this paper is to present a fabrication process of solar cells based on RTP. In the beginning, p+ and n+ highly doped regions were optimised by using PC-1D program, which simulates solar cells, by analysing their performance. To find out the process parameters, that is, temperature and time of diffusion, wafers were processed and sheet resistance of highly doped regions were measured after rapid thermal processing. In order to verify contamination and gettering mechanisms during phosphorus and boron diffusion, minority carrier lifetime was measured before and after rapid thermal processing. It was noticed in general that phosphorus diffusion improves initial lifetime of samples. However this improvement does not happen when using boron, although the gettering propitiated by it produces higher lifetime than in wafers processed without boron. Based these outcomes, some prototypes of solar cells were produced in RTP furnaces, but it wasn't possible to perform an appropriate analysis due to some problems faced in metallization processes like low adherence of metal grid and shortcircuits on edge. This way, efficiencies of 10% was measured when cell is illuminated by n+ face and 4% when it is illuminated by p+ one.

The dynamic behavior of induction machine based wind power generators with blade pitch control acting as either an electrical power regulator or a rotor speed regulator are compared under wind and electrical perturbations. Simulation results have shown that during wind perturbations both approaches lead to similar performance. However, during short-circuits, as opposed to the electrical power regulator case, rotor speed regulator case can improve the system voltage stability. Moreover, a new approach to improve the stability performance of induction generators is proposed. Such approach consists of switching a constant resistance in series with the rotor winding by using standard circuit breakers. Simulation results have shown that such method can enhance the voltage stability margin of distribution networks with induction machine based wind power generators.

Distributed generation technologies include small gas turbine engine generators (microturbines), internal combustion reciprocating engines, photovoltaic panels, fuel cells, solar thermal conversion and Stirling engines using fossil and biomass fuels. Among them, the microturbines engines to generate electricity are a promising technology for the near future, working with fossil or renewable fuels. Regarding the renewable fuels, the question is about the possibility to use low calorific fuel gas from biomass gasification in gas microturbines and which are the necessary constructive changes. This paper presents assessment of this possibility and the influence of fuel parameters on the geometry of the micro gas turbine combustion chamber and the NOx emission. An analysis of the combustor operating with no changes on the geometry is done keeping the heat released by the fuel constant, and also other two analysis is done varying the heat released and keeping the geometry and no changes at all, only changing the fuel.

In the 20th century, some studies were carried out which focused on the viability of the use of the tidal energy as an electricity source. One of those studies is related with the Bacanga barrage, which, due to different reasons, had but the partial conception of the work, which consisted mostly on the conception of the spillway and reservoir. In this work, we present a review on those studies in the tidal generation of Bacanga barrage, as well as we consider the political and economic historical context where each study occurred. We start by a technical review to later analyze the facts which forced the current state.

The main function of this system is to forecast the battery discharge characteristic considering several situations, allowing the user to plan and to program the remaining battery stored energy and allowing the system to manage the cutting of loads, to improve and extend the useful life of the system as a whole. Due to the battery nonlinear characteristics and its dependency on the type/rate of use, among other variables, to ensure the forecast validity, it is necessary the system to constantly learn from a real photovoltaic system behavior.

To obtain an optimized fuel cell performance under various experimental conditions, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used under dynamic load in order to evaluate the resistence of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) under practical operation conditions. The experiments were carried out using a PEMFC unit assembled with a commercial E-TEK MEA (Membrane Electrode Assembly). The results were analyzed by the statistical methodology of response surface (star central composite) optimizing the process operational parameters at PEMFC. The chosen operational parameters to evaluate the PEMFC process were: working temperature at the cell unit, inlet gas flow and humidifying temperature, keeping the working current in the range of 2.5 A. An important dependent variable, measured during the trials, was fuel cell voltage, collected at steady state, after achieving the EIS spectrum. The voltage result, following Ohm's Law, is an indirect measure of total PEMFC resistance against the occurring electrochemical reactions developed inside the fuel cell, since the current was kept constant during the experiments. The low frequency impedance module, at Bode Diagram, is an indicative of PEMFC total resistance. To get some representation of chemical kinetics at PEMFC, the inflection frequency and inflection angle at Bode diagram phase angle curve were also taken as dependent variables. The data were treated electronically by statistical software and the response surfaces were obtained, showing optimized results for an specific MEA.

Tel: (0xx34)3239-4180 [email protected], {ajmoraes, gcaixeta}@ufu.br, [email protected] Among the energy forms used to substitute the conventional electricity generation methods, the photovoltaic solar conversion is one of the most interesting alternative. In fact, this option may be justified because of some advantages such as lower losses, higher efficiency and longer useful lifetime than others similar energy sources. However, the operation of such system must be optimized in order to make it even more competitive. Within this context, this work aims to develop a control equipment to search for the maximum power operation of a photovoltaic system connected to the power grid.

Del Valle 5737, 7400 Olavarría, Argentina TE/FAX: 54-2284-451055 [email protected] The initial capital cost of the photovoltaic cells and modules has always been a major barrier for the widespread use of the technology all over the world and in Latin America specifically. The general idea of reducing the initial capital costs of PV systems by producing more power out of the same module is appealing by itself. As it is known, by increasing the incident solar radiation falling on a PV module, the PV module's power output will increase according to the inherent characteristics of the PV cells. However, an increment in the radiation level may increase the temperature of the cells that, in turn, would diminish the efficiency and power output of PV cells. The objective of this experiment was to evaluate in the field the performance of photovoltaic modules when the incident solar radiation is augmented by means of planar reflectors and up to which extent the temperature increase offsets the increment in the power output of the PV module. In the process, the effect of the reflectors' geometry on the performance of the module was studied in terms of two of the main geometric parameters. The experiment has yielded promising results considering both the increase in power output obtained and the simplicity and low cost of the system studied.

B-174 FORECASTING ELECTRICITY LOAD DEMAND: ANALYSIS OF THE 2001 RATIONING PERIOD IN BRAZIL Lacir Jorge Soares¹ Leonardo Rocha Souza² ¹LESCE/CCH UENF Av.

The hourly data refers to a utility situated in the southeast of the country. We propose a stochastic model making use of sophisticated linear techniques, such as the generalized long memory induced by Gegenbauer processes, which models the seasonal behavior of the load. The autocorrelation function (ACF) of these processes resembles a damped sine wave and matches the sampled ACF of the series after the trend and calendar effects are removed. The model is proposed for sectional data, that is, each hour's load is studied separately as a single series. This poses no problem since we aim at forecasting multiples of 24 hours ahead and in so doing shorter lags do not affect the prediction to a great extent. Furthermore, this approach avoids modeling the intricate intra-day pattern (load profile) displayed by the load, which varies throughout days of the week and seasons. Calendar effects are modeled by dummy variables and a stochastic level, driven by some trend, is also allowed. The forecasting performance of the model is compared with a SARIMA benchmark using the year of 1999 as the out-ofsample. The model clearly outperforms the benchmark. The forecasting performance is then evaluated before, during and after the rationing period. The rationing period is shown to have imposed a structural break in the series, decreasing the load at about 20%. Even so, the forecast accuracy is decreased only marginally, and the forecasts rapidly readapt to the new situation. We conclude for general long memory in the series and also that some statistical properties, gauged by the model, are not lost after the structural break.

In spite of the advantages, there are some inconvenient that do not encourage the use of these alternative energy systems for the production of large amount of energy. One of these is the form the electric energy is delivered in the outlets of the conversion systems. This paper deals with a proposition for the development of an electric generation system that uses the sunlight, the wind and the biogas. The proposed system is basically intended for the use in small country communities, where it is difficult the access to the electric power distribution network, because of geographic or economic problems. The energy generated by photovoltaic panels and wind turbines coupled to asynchronous generators, will be converted by the use of power electronic devices, overlooked by a control network based on fuzzy logic. This technique when compared to the conventional control systems presents many advantages like: do not need detailed mathematic models of the systems, do not present lack of adjustment due to temperature variation, do not need special adjustment, are not sensible to the frequency variations, besides other. The fuzzy logic is based in a set of rules that at any instant will look for the maximum power operation point from each one of the generating sources for each wind and sunlight intensities, in such a way that all the generated power, the losses discounted, is totally transferred to the load.

Nowadays, there are more than 50 manufacturers of SWTG who represent over than 125 different models. In general, they are small companies with limitations to obtain the characteristic curve of their machines. Thus, a lot of SWTG are introduced in the market without certification and respective power curve. The present work deals about a methodology that allows to obtain the power curve of SWTG. A system, including a data logger, was used and a new power transducer was projected with capacity of measuring the instantaneous power of the wind turbine for different wind speed. The wind turbine was tested in laboratory with its respective blades stimulated by the flow of air of an axial fan. The instantaneous power, wind speed, rotation of rotor, and temperature of operation of the SWTG were monitored and measured. The preliminary results show that, with this proposed methodology, it is possible to obtain the curve characteristic of SWTG. In the wind turbine studied, the power curve obtained in laboratory was lower than the power curve supplied by the manufacturer, but closer to the ones found in the bibliographical references about power curve testing. In the continuity of the project, a field work will be accomplished and the same system will be tested, but, this time, in natural wind conditions. In this stage of the work, the standard IEC614000-12 will be used as reference, as well as tests and results found in other bibliographical references.

The generator has nominal three-phase power of 1 kVA, situated in the micro hydro electrical plants power range, and was submitted to the previous tests in the Laboratories of the São Paulo State University at Guaratinguetá. The stead state tests had been made using a load panel assembled with a set of different power lamps which can be connected in a balanced or unbalanced distribution between the phases. The tests aim is to verify the behavior of the generated power and voltage when the rotation of the generator varies, that is pertinent, since the windmill is an intrinsically changing speed motor driver. In the first stage of the tests it was applied a low rotation (800 rpm) supplied for a 2 cv induction motor connected by pulleys and band to the generator. They had been measured voltages of 110 V per phase and 450 W of total power delivered to the lamps. The current and voltage waves had been registered and harmonic analysis were performed for some load forms. The results had revealed reasonable, and had evidenced points where the generator can be improved. To minimize the effect of the windmill speed variation in the system, the energy of the generator will be rectified and transmitted to the charger of a 12 V batteries bank, connected to a d.c./a.c. converter, where it will be converted from 12 V d.c. to 127 V a.c. or 220 V a.c.. The project has just started and it needs more detailed analyses of the generator behavior, wave forms and harmonics. The integrated design of the generation, storage and conversion of the energy still needs to be done.

The cogeneration system is applied to a dairy industry of medium size that typically demands 2,100 kW of electricity, 8,500 kg/h of saturated steam (P = 1.08 MPa) and 2,725 kW of frigorific power (cold-water production at 1ºC) and is sized in order to meet the electrical demand of the establishment (electrical parity). Besides, the fuel cell cogeneration system consists of a fuel cell associated to a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). The plant performance is evaluated on the basis of fuel utilization efficiency and each system component is evaluated on the basis of Second Law efficiency. The presented energetic analysis shows a fuel utilization efficiency of about 87% for the two cases. The exergetic analysis shows the irreversibilities in the heat recovery steam generator and in the combustion chamber are more significant. Finally, the economic feasibility study was included for the evaluation of a cogeneration system, taking the payback period, the annual interest rate, the fuel price and the equivalent period of utilization into account.

Cherni Imperial College London, *Environmental Policy & Management Group Department of Environmental Science & Technology Imperial College London, 4th Floor, RSM Building, South Kensington campus London, SW7 2AZ, UK [email protected] Energy provision for rural areas in developing countries has so far been achieved via two main approaches, centralized electricity distribution through grid extension and decentralised technology. It is known that electricity originating in the centralized national grid is highly efficient and convenient. To provide electricity to rural people and settlements, the tendency has been to extend and amplify the grid annex to isolated areas. Yet, despite a significant increase, only 44% of the worlds rural population has access to electricity or any other forms of modern energy. This paper focuses on the second approach and refers to new technologies such as wind, biogas, photovoltaic and micro-hydroelectric. Renewable energy technology can emerge as a less costly option for generating and providing electricity in places that are not connected to the national grid. The paper discusses a number of outstanding characteristics of renewable technology which indicate that these can be technically, socially and environmentally sustainable in the long term. Energy provision is often critical to improve the subsistence conditions of the rural poorest and renewable energy technology (RET) represents, in many cases, the only feasible option for remote communities. RET can generate power without causing much impact on the natural environment. It is positive sign that these technologies have now been used for decades. Wasted potential and numerous difficulties are, however, affecting the long-term sustainability of the equipment. The paper analyses the extent to which RET can be an advantageous solution for the generation and supply of energy in rural isolated areas. It argues that technical as well as non-technical factors are essential for the sustainability of energy development in isolated to rural areas and for decision making processes in the energy sector. It discusses how the RESURL1 project in Colombia, Cuba and Perú collected information on the state and barriers for effective energy generation.

[email protected], [email protected] Combined cycle thermal power plants have shown themselves to be an excellent alternative for electric energy generation in a worldwide basis. The reasons for that are their high efficiency and their good performance environmentally speaking. These peculiarities become the preferred conversion technologies in the Priority Plan of Thermal Power Electricity, which was elaborated here in Brazil. This type of thermal power plant is characterized by its complex operation and the extreme sensitivity of its performance in relation to multiple parameters such as: ambient conditions, load variations, the use of supplementary firing, etc. Because of these reasons it is necessary to carry out studies that help us understand and mitigate the influence of these variables on the performance of this kind of generating unit. By using the software “Thermoflex”, produced by Thermoflow Inc., it was possible to simulate the influence of the ambient temperature, atmospheric pressure and the air relative humidity on the operation of a combined cycle thermal plant. The plant is composed by two Siemens-Westinghouse 501F gas turbines coupled to three pressure level HRSGs and re-heating with fuel supplementary firing, and a steam turbine, with a capacity of 600 MW (ISO). A detailed analysis of the behavior of this type of plant was carried out, and several graphics were drawn indicating, in a quantitative way, how the efficiency and the generated power are severely affected by the variation of the above parameters. Also, a strategy for operating at partial loads aiming at maximizing the thermal efficiency of the installation was established. Curves presenting the variation of the plant's efficiency and machine power at partial loads are shown. Keywords: Combined Cycle, Energy Generation, Generated Power, Net Efficiency.

Thermoelectric generation, as well as other industrial activities such as chemical and petrochemical ones, are related to the emission of pollutants that are harmful to humans, animals and plants. The emissions of carbon oxides (CO and CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O) are directly related to the greenhouse effect. The negative effects of sulfur oxides (SO2 and SO3 named SOx) and the nitrogen oxides (NOx) are their contribution to the formation of acid rain and their impacts on human health and on the biota in general. This study intends to evaluate the environmental impacts of the atmospheric pollution resulting from the burn of fossil fuels. This study considers the emissions of CO2, SOx, NOx and PM in an integral way and they are compared to the international air quality standards that are in force, using a parameter called ecological efficiency ().

In the last years the energy sector is suffering a deep changes, mainly in the European Union (EU) (liberalization and regulation of the markets, diversification of the sources of primary energy, use of new technologies), with the purpose of introducing larger efficiency in the different phases of the energy cycle (exploration, transformation and use), lowering the price of the final energy, improving the competitiveness of the economy and the citizens' well-being, to guarantee the safety of the energy provisioning and to improve the quality of the atmosphere. The conventional way of electricity generation is made using thermal power plant where the energy source is fossil fuels (coal, fuel-oleo and natural gas). The search of these combustibles will continue growing high rhythms, mainly in the economies in development where efficiency is less than a third. In a power plant combined cycle using natural gas, the efficiency is around 55%. In parallel of an half of the primary energy to get lost in the process of electricity generation; this process is responsible for more than 30% of the atmospheric emissions, promoting the " green house" effect, central aspect of the concept of sustainable development. In this context, the development of the cogeneration should be seen as one of the available instruments to help to reach those objectives, which is associated with some important benefits: improvement of the efficiency in the conversion and use of the energy, improvement of the environment, reduction of the investment cost and exploration, promoting decentralized forms of electricity generation, mainly near to natural gas suppliers.

The paper concludes with the combined heat and power generation in the Harboore updraft wood-chips gasifier in Danemark. In the updraft gasifier the downward-moving biomass is first dried by the upflowing hot product gas. After drying, the solid fuel is pyrolysed, giving char which continues to move down to be gasified, and pyrolysis vapours which are carried upward by the upflowing hot product gas. The tars in the vapour either condense on the cool descending fuel or are carried out of the reactor with the product gas, contributing to its high tar content. The product gas from an updraft gasifier thus contains a significant proportion of tars and hydrocarbons, which contribute to its high heating value. There is interest in the cleaning of the updraft gas for electricity production, as low temperature tars are more reactive and thus easier to be removed, than the hightemperature tars produced in much lower amounts by downdraft and fluidized bed gasifiers. The Harboore updraft wood chips gasifier was set in operation in 1993. After 3 years of optimisation the plant provides district heating for about 650 subscribers at Harboore. The objetive was to cogenerate both heat and electricity. Experiments on catalytic cracking of the tar in the product gas were abandoned in 1997 and a wet gas cleaning system was developed. Two gasengines, each 768 kWE power, (from manufacturer Jenbacher, Austria) were set in operation early 2000.

In order to make a consistent evaluation the Rankine absorption power cycle was optimized using as goal function the exergoeconomic unitary cost of the electricity produced by both the cogeneration plant and the absorption cycle. The Zoutendijk method of feasible directions was used for this optimization. Obtained results show that when the Rankine bottoming cycle is used the generated net power becomes 3.18% greater than that of the cogeneration plant alone while the unitary cost of electricity diminishes in 3.06%.

B-054 EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE FOR EVALUATING A COGENERATION PLANT Luiz Gustavo do Val Alcir de Faro Orlando Mechanical Engineering Department, PUC-Rio R.Marquês S.Vicente 225, CEP 22453-900, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil [email protected], [email protected] An experimental procedure was developed to evaluate cogeneration plants, including the uncertainty analysis of the main parameters. As a result, this methodology aims the development of optimized criteria for specifying and operating cogeneration plants. A plant in a brewery was studied to supply the data to the experimental procedure. It is composed of three 4,9 MW gas turbines and three heat recovery boilers with a supplemental burner capability for generating a process steam flow rate of 36000 kg/h. The main drive for the development of this methodology is the observation that there are neither flow rate measurement instruments for the combustion air and for the turbine exhaust gases in a cogeneration plant in operation, nor on line composition natural gas analyzers. A mass balance of the combustion equation was then used together with the B O O K O F A B S T RA C T S 53 5th LATIN AMERICAN CONGRESS: ELECTRICITY GENERATION AND TRANSMISSION November, 16 - 20, 2003, São Pedro - Brazil measurement of the exhaust gas composition to determine the ratio between mass of combustion air and natural gas, and, thus, the air flow rate, since the natural gas flow rate is directly measured. The uncertainty analysis was then used to analyze the heat transfer from the exhaust gases, to preheat the water in the economizer, before entering the recovery boiler. Due to the fact that the difference between the heat calculated for the gas side and for the water side of the economizer and boiler was larger than the uncertainty of measurement, it was concluded that the thermal losses were significative. Because of the fact that the gas side was the outer one, it was concluded that a more reliable data for the plant performance measurement should be based on the water side of the heat exchanger. The same methodology was used to determine the degradation of the economizer performance, that becomes gradually dirty along the time. When the difference between two measurements taken at different times is larger than its uncertainty, it can be concluded that the heat exchanger became dirty. The uncertainty analysis was also used to compare the calculated percentage of the available fuel energy that was converted into heat and power in the cogeneration plant with the design data. Many Energy Services Companies (ESCO) must have continuously this evaluation in order to keep under control the cost of the energy to be sold to their clients. If the difference between measured and design data is larger than measurement uncertainty, it can be concluded that the plant is not operating properly.

Real plant energy demands of electricity and heat are not constants, vary "randomly". The cogeneration system is designed with a gas turbine with a given power output and a recovery boiler with a steam generation limit. On one hand, this should be able to respond appropriately to demand fluctuations, therefore the gas turbine set should have a higher power output than the maximum demand. An overdesign would lead to unnecessary investment expenses. The recovery boiler presents certain adjusting possibilities of its steam production, by means of the by pass of hot gases other supplementary combustion. The economic feasibility of implementation of a new system should take into account these fluctuations, in way of predicting technical and economical results according to the reality of the plant, that are more rigorous that the mere feasibility under nominal conditions. It is necessary to make an operative simulation model whose complexity will be proportional to the quantity of variables to be considered and the "supplementary steam flow marginal fuel flow correlation" should be determined, maintaining the design parameters constant. In this work the methodology of determination of the aforementioned correlation is described and whose complexity forces to its resolution with computer calculation, and the results that have been obtained in the analyzed cases. They are discussed and conclusions are enunciated, in order to infer conceptual rules to predict the operative behavior.

In the present Part B, results and conclusions are presented obtained by applying the model to industrial cogeneration systems with gas turbine and heat recovery steam generator. In such systems converge a high capital cost and low of the energy; due to micro-economic profitability it is favorable to reduce the capacity of the system and therefore the cost of its readiness, with a slight fuel cost increment due to loss of efficiency. With this approach the design of the system that can supply the imposed nominal energy demands is defined, which is later analyzed for different operative conditions. Given the characteristics of the caloric demands, the steam system has been adopted in three pressures, high pressure superheated steam obtained directly from the recovery boiler, mid pressure saturated steam by expansion of the high pressure steam produced by the boiler in a backpressure steam turbine with previously desuperheated exhaust stream, and lastly a marginal flow of low pressure B O O K O F A B S T RA C T S 55 5th LATIN AMERICAN CONGRESS: ELECTRICITY GENERATION AND TRANSMISSION November, 16 - 20, 2003, São Pedro - Brazil saturated steam as a mean to improve the heat recovery. Low pressure steam is supposed may be sold as much as it is produced. The capacity of steam generation system should be regulated in function of the demand, and it should be increase by means of the supplementary combustion, when the demand acquires higher values than the minimum one. This phenomenon is analyzed by means of the model and general conclusions are discussed.

Tel (32) 3379 2630 [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Based in a previous and traditional methodology of allocation costs in steam cogeneration schemes one makes two alternatives for comparision.The first is more direct and more simple and is based in an average steam rate, a first law approach, and in the hypothesis that the costs of steam must be attributed to the steam produced in the boiler. The second is based in Curzon & Ahlbon efficiency, a new approach in Thermodynamics called now endoreversible Thermodynamics by various authors, and is a second law approach. The allocation costs methodologies consider only the fuel costs but is very easy to adopt other costs like capital costs and O&M costs too, and allocate them in the same manner. And there are possibilities of extension of the new proposed methodologies to other cycles like gas turbines and engines. Keywords: allocation costs, cogeneration costs, steam and electricity costs.

The qualitative indicators of each alternative that can be proposed by means of a set of design parameters can be evaluated by means of a computational model, being observed in general that they improve with the efficiency of the gas turbine, its exhaust gas temperature and mass flow, temperatures and pressures of the demanded steam for caloric use. Optimum conditions for the HRSG are that it can give the demanded steam without supplementary firing, and the appropriate turbine of gas is that that can give the necessary exhaust heat with the pinch points that they don't drive to an excessive rise in the purchased cost of the HRSG. When the price of the electricity is low as it happens in our Country and the electricity demand is reduced, the economic feasibility is favored when the gas turbine is selected rather smaller than the technically appropriately sized one, and the supplementary combustion is used to fit the balance to supply the total steam demand. This practice is better than the supplementation with steam generated separately in a conventional boiler. The analysis of the effects of the supplementary combustion has been realized to determine the limits of the interval in that its application could be convenient. In this work, the realized task is reported and conclusions are informed. Keywords: cogeneration 1, gas turbine 2, waste heat boiler 3, supplementary firing 4, optimization 5.

IRP consists of selecting electrical energy offered expansion through process that evaluate and entire group of alternatives that include the increase of installed capacity, conservation and energy efficiency, self production and sources renewed, in way to guarantee that the system users receive continuous energy of good quality at the smallest possible cost. MPP is located in the State of São Paulo, Brazil, and it presents limited development, due partly, to the lack of electrical energy. MPP is an area with repressed demand, and the supply of energy is essential for maintaining sustainability. Thus, alternative investments in the demand sections are considered very important for the future of this. We have several ways of taking advantage of urban solid residues.

Thermoeconomy is a powerful tool to analyze and improve energy systems, since it involves the economic evaluation of several systems of energy transformation trough an exergetic approach. In this work an Exergetic Cost of Manufacture (CMEX) is used for the analysis and optimization of systems of combined production of heat and work. It was selected a case of study of a sugar plant at Tucumán (Argentina) for the importance on regional economies and the possibilities that it presents for cogeneration. Cogeneration is used in sugar plants, since it requires steam production and electric power generation. In the existent facilities steam is generated in low pressure boilers using bagasse (fibrous residual of the cane mill) as fuel. Moreover, since it was considered useless the storage of big quantities of bagasse, most of the boilers were designed to burn the whole available bagasse at low pressure. Changing operation parameters, in particular, using higher pressures of generation, led to electric power surplus, with sale opportunities to the electrical network. 58 B O O K O F A B S T RA C T S 5th LATIN AMERICAN CONGRESS: ELECTRICITY GENERATION AND TRANSMISSION November, 16 - 20, 2003, São Pedro - Brazil Cogeneration structures are compared through the use of cost exergtics functions defined by functional diagrams, and the corresponding problems MINLP due to equipment cost.

Obviously these two prospective studies, both under the responsability of the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME), should be inter-related. A critical review of the methodologies employed in these studies and the way they have been produced is made in this paper, pointing out the steps forward and the barriers still to be overcome. Some innovations, in terms of methodology and organisational changes in their elaboration are proposed. Discussions concernig the possible roles of CNPE, MME and a new support unit for the Ministry in its planning activities then follow, within the scope of the proposed institutional scheme.

Albert Einstein, 400 Cidade Universitária, C.P.6101 CEP 13083-270 Campinas (SP) {lia, assis, morelato}@dsee.fee.unicamp.br Power system restoration is a problem characterized by a high dynamism, where load behaviour during its reenergization can significantly interfere in the real time switching operations previously determined by the restoration plans. This behaviour is affected by different conditions, such as interruption duration, seasonal characteristics, control actions taken during restoration and consumer type. This dynamic characteristics implies the need of a constant load assessment during blackout as an way to estimate its behaviour during reenergization. In this work, load models components were identified by typical consumers (residential loads, industrial loads and commercial loads), using data from characteristic substations. In the sequence, several substations were identified based on the previously identified components using static and dynamic estimation B O O K O F A B S T RA C T S 63 5th LATIN AMERICAN CONGRESS: ELECTRICITY GENERATION AND TRANSMISSION November, 16 - 20, 2003, São Pedro - Brazil methods. The Kalman filtering technique could be considered adequate for this type of analysis, providing dynamic estimation of load typical components and its behaviour during restoration by the typical load responses aggregation. The proposed methodology was tested using data collected from different CPFL substations during the year 1994. Keywords: Power system restoration, dynamic load parameter estimation B-097 INVESTIGATION OF A FORECASTING MODEL BASED ON PPS NEURAL NETWORKS Renato Junqueira Maia¹ Gelson da Cruz Júnior² ¹Tribunal de Contas da União Setor de Administração Federal Sul, quadra 4, lote 1, 70042-900, Brasília - DF - BRASIL (55)(61) 316-7563 [email protected] ²NEPE - EEE - UFG Praça Universitária, s/n, Setor Leste Universitário, 74605-220, Goiânia - GO - BRASIL (55)(62) 209-6070 ext. 32 [email protected] There has been a lot of study about forecasting in time series, and that subject has application in several fields, like engineering, economics, etc. Because of its great importance, studies about that matter always concern scientists, governments and private companies. Lately, there has been a great interest in researches involving artificial neural networks about forecasting in time series. Several studies have been made about that subject, and the Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) neural networks have been widely used for that purpose. This work investigates the convenience of the use of a relatively new model of artificial neural network, called PPS because of the use of “Polynomial Powers of Sigmoids” as activation function. That kind of network was presented in a doctoral thesis in 1997 (Marar, 1997), and achieved very good results in data classification, pattern recognition, voice signal analysis and image compression applications. With the purpose of making a conclusive analysis about the use of PPS neural networks for forecasting in time series, two neural networks were implemented, an MLP one and a PPS one. The reason for that is the great acceptance of the MLP networks for that kind of forecasting. The results of the two networks implemented are compared, and the PPS one achieves, in all the experiments, better results than the ones obtained with the MLP one. Based on the results obtained, we conclude that the PPS neural network is capable of achieving very good results in the forecasting in time series with the same characteristics found in the series used in this work, even if the available training set is not very large. Keywords: forecasting, artificial neural networks, PPS neural networks, function approximation.

The choice of these criterions was based in the approach applied nowadays by the some of the Brazilian power distribution companies. Three approaches were compared: the one applied nowadays, another approach uses nets, and the third is the one proposed in this work that uses nets and then adjusts these forecasted values according to exogenous criterions. In most cases, the proposed approach obtained better results. Keywords: Artificial Neural Networks, adjustment exogenous criterions, long term load forecasting. B-121 A SUGGESTION FOR STRUCTURE IDENTIFICATION OF LINEAR AND NON-LINEAR ENERGY TIME SERIES 64 B O O K O F A B S T RA C T S 5th LATIN AMERICAN CONGRESS: ELECTRICITY GENERATION AND TRANSMISSION November, 16 - 20, 2003, São Pedro - Brazil USING NON-PARAMETRIC REGRESSION Rosane M. Kirchner¹ Reinaldo C. Souza² Flávio A. Ziegelmann³ ¹Departamento de Física, Estatística e Matemática Universidade do Noroeste do Estado do Rio Grande do SulIjuí Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. [email protected] ²Departamento de Engenharia Elétrica Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro Rio de Janeiro Brasil ³Departamento de Estatística Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul - Brasil. This paper suggests an approach for the identification of the structure of linear and non-linear time series through nonparametric estimation of the unknown curves in models of the type Y)=E(Yt|Xt =xt) +å , where Xt=(Yt-1,Yt-2,...,Yt-d). A traditional nonlinear parametric model assumes that the form of the function E(Yt,Xt) is known. The estimation process is global, that is, under the assumption of a linear function for instance, then the same line is used along the domain of the covariate. Such an approach may be inadequate in many cases, though. On the other hand, nonparametric regression estimation, allows more flexibility in the possible form of the unknown function, since the function itself can be estimated through a local kernel regression. By doing so, only points in the local neighborhood of the point X,t where E(Yt|Xt =xt) is to be estimated, will influence this estimate. In other words, with kernel estimators, the unknown function will be estimated by local regression, where the nearest observations to the point where the curve is to be estimated will receive more weight and the farthest ones, a less weight. After the estimation of the unknown function, the determination coefficient is calculated in order to verify the dependence of each lag. Under the proposed methodology, it was verified that the Lag Dependence Function (LDF) and the Partial Lag Dependence Function (PLDF) provide good approximations in the linear case to the function of autocorrelation (ACF) and partial function of autocorrelation (PACF) respectively, used in classical analysis of linear time series. The graphic representation is also very similar to those used in ACF and PACF. For the Partial Lag Dependence Function (PLDF) it becomes necessary to estimate multivariable functions. In this case, an additive model was used, whose estimate is computed through the backfitting method, according to Hastie and Tibshirani (1990). For the construction of confidence intervals, the bootstrap technique was used. The research was conducted to evaluate and compare the proposed methodology to traditional ones. The simulated time series were generated according to linear AR(1) and non-linear MA(1) models. A series of one hundred observations was generated for each model. The approach was illustrated with the study of the structure of a time series of electricity demand of DEMEI- the city department of energy of Ijui, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

The neural network operation is constituted of two fundamental phases: training and tests. The training phase requires a great quantity of B O O K O F A B S T RA C T S 65 5th LATIN AMERICAN CONGRESS: ELECTRICITY GENERATION AND TRANSMISSION November, 16 - 20, 2003, São Pedro - Brazil processing time to perform, while the test phase requires no computational effort. This is the principal reason to use neural networks to solve complex problems that demand fast solutions, such as the real time applications. The principal characteristics of the ART neural networks are the plasticity and stability that are essentials for the execution of the training and for an efficient analysis (tests). The fuzzy neural ART&ARTMAP network that is proposed, aims to produce a superior performance in precision and velocity, when compared to conventional ARTMAP formulation, and more superior when compared to neural networks that use the training by a backpropagation technique. To illustrate the proposed method, results are presented considering a multimachine power system.

Using the data of the region, gathered in the past years by several researches of the GEPEA-USP, scenarios of the development and consume of energy have been created. In these scenarios, two possibilities to supply the demand of the region were considered: energy of clean sources and/or renewable as well as energy of sources that have lower costs. In order to simulate the behavior of several factors of the offer and demand, the LEAP (Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning) has been used. Both scenarios have vantages and disadvantages, but the clean sources scenario certainly could supply the needs of the region for the next twenty years. Uncertainties in longer periods make the forecasts no much reliable, because changes in both, demand and offer, could invalidate the study. The best is an accompaniment of the sector's behavior in order to make shorter projections, ten years for example, to set the generator estate and policies of consumption.

Hum, s/n, Cidade Universitária - Ilha do Fundão, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, 21941-590 - Brazil [email protected] The importance of Short-Term Load Forecasting (STLF) has been increasing lately. With deregulation and competition, energy price forecasting has become a big business. Bus load forecasting is essential to feed analytical methods utilized for determining energy prices. The variability and non-stationarity of loads are becoming worse due to the dynamics of energy tariffs. Besides, the number of nodal loads to be predicted does not allow frequent interventions from load forecasting experts. More autonomous load predictors are needed in the new competitive scenario. The application of neural network-based STLF has developed sophisticated practical systems over the years. However, the question of how to maximize the generalization ability of such machines, together with the choice of architecture, activation functions, training set data and size, etc. makes up a huge number of possible combinations for the final Neural Network (NN) design, whose optimal solution has not been figured yet. This paper describes a STLF system which uses a non-parametric model based on a linear model coupled with a polynomial network, identified by pruning/growing mechanisms. The load forecaster has special features of data preprocessing and confidence intervals calculations, which are also described. Results of load forecasts are presented for one year with forecasting horizons from 15 min. to 168 hours ahead Keywords: Confidence intervals, neural nets, load forecasting.

Energy users knows all the advantages of this great invention, but ironically they also fight against the construction of news plants because the damages that electricity generation provides to environment and certain groups of people that are affected. The solution for this problem has to consider the costs involved at the electricity generation, but not only the financial costs and this is the reason why we will consider the concept of full Cost Account. This report had the objective of create a analysis method to show the positive and negative impacts of the hydroelectric and thermoelectric (with natural gas) generation to find the best solution in terms of Complete Costs to provide the energy generation increasing for the two kind of plants. The research source come from the Integrated Resources Planning theory that uses the Full and Sustainable Development approach, legal resolutions and laws, studies for electrical sector, News that involves the subject and academic works. Therefore the analysis method is coherent with the Complete Costs approach that consider that negative impacts means qualitative costs and at the same time the financial costs are not forgotten but considered as one the elements in analysis process that seek the lower (qualitative) cost for the whole society too looking for sustainable development.

Albert Einstein, 400 Cidade Universitária, C.P.6101 CEP 13083-270 Campinas (SP) {assis, lia, morelato}@dsee.fee.unicamp.br After an electric power system outage, it is necessary to quickly reestablish the power energy supply, reducing technical, social and economical prejudices caused by the interruption. The restoration process can be defined as the control actions sequence necessary to reenergize power lines and loads in a rapid and safe way. In this approach, nuclear elements of the restoration process can be identified, known as “restoration building blocks”, or RBBs. In this work a methodology for restoration building blocks identification in electric power systems is proposed, based on numerical inspection of a nodal admittance type matrix associated to heuristic search techniques in different stages, taking into account loads priority levels and the identified RBBs interconnection required at the end of the restoration process. Operational costs and electrical feasibility of suggested configurations are also considered in the problem formulation. The use of numerical representation of system topology associated with heuristic search provides results in proper time for power systems restoration activities. The proposed method was tested using IEEE14 and IEEE30 networks, providing satisfactory results.

In São Paulo, there is the State program “Luz da Terra” started in 1996, and the Federal program “Luz no Campo” implemented in December 1999. The objective is to show the possible ways and sceneries of the rural electrification after the Law of universalization, regulated through resolution 223 of Aneel, showing the new profile traced for the countryside. The electrical energy distributors are supposed to attend, according to this law, without any cost to the consumers, to all requests for power supply in the rural area. As a consequence, there will be a significant budget impact (restriction in obtaining resources from the Global Reversion Reserves RGR) and to the lack of resources from the companies to carry out the task. The situation becomes worse, as the consumers may demand anticipation to their requests for power supplies, even before the deadline fixed by Aneel, for services to the still non-electrified areas, as long as they anticipate payment to the electrical energy dealer, and receive after some time, from the dealer, the return of the investments made, corrected by the IGP-M with an additional increase of 0.5 % a month. The dealer, in its turn, should submit the resources to the execution of the universalization plans, and receive them at the end of the task, by means of expense report to Aneel, through “Conta de Desenvolvimento Energetico” CDE. However, there is the doubt whether the balance between obtaining the resources from CDE, after submitting expense report, and paying the consumers what they have invested in advance, or even if the resources invested in carrying out the projects, will be favorable for the companies. To minimize the impacts of the enormous investments to be made, the dealers should encourage the extension projects in the rural areas to be accomplished in partnership with Federal and State governments, universities and agriculture technicians. These projects may increase the consumption in KWh and in a faster way; bring back a significant return of the investment made. Finally there is evidence that the universalization will bring benefits to the countryside and solution to some of the most serious Brazilian socio-economical problems.

They support these conclusions without apparently considering the deviations that this peculiar market possesses when compared to traditional markets. The Brazilian energy market is composed of 24 main generators of which only one, Furnas, is responsible for more than half of the of national energy supply. Beyond these, there are also 40 distribution companies who still take care of the captive market and 31 traders authorized to commercialize energy in the wholesale market and to attend free consumers. This market has some peculiarities, as for example, to be constituted of a relatively small number of agents; to exist, as in most markets, certain risk aversion; moreover, great economic power asymmetry and structural restrictions of energy transmission, being this last responsible for the existence of the so called sub-markets. These factors, allied to the characteristic of being an indispensable good for the population and, consequently, to the economy, make with that the energy market demands a deep analysis by the public power sector in many aspects, especially when thinking about the economic-financier health of the agents who compose the market. The energy price formation is primordial to the remuneration of these agents. One of the existing mechanisms for price formation is the auction, which became, legally, the main form of energy trade in Brazil. Auctions theorists usually consider risk neutral agents with symmetrical bargaining power for bidding competitively. The reality shows that energy negotiation markets involve an oligopoly of non-symmetrical agents frequently bidding for the same products. So bids leave the strict competitive character by incorporating one strategic component through the use of market power. This stimulates agents to explore the auction mechanism, which may consequently become an inefficient price maker. This article evaluates experiences of markets of electric energy in diverse countries of the world, attempting against for the remuneration of the observed agents and transposing the empirical knowledge acquired by the practical ones in these countries for future applications in the Brazilian market. Basically two mechanisms of remuneration through auctions are studied, the remuneration from uniform price, or either, all the auction's wining agents pay the same price, and the remuneration through discriminatory price, when agents can pay different prices for the same product in the same auction. Authors who argue about the applications of uniform and discriminatory price auctions point advantages and disadvantages with respect to each mechanism. The case of the United Kingdom and California can be used as an example, where specialists have, after exhausting evaluations, chosen different mechanisms for energy trade in the spot market. This can be explained by analyzing the intrinsic factors about the markets and the local economy, showing that the choice of a mechanism of price formation for the energy market is not obvious nor intuitive, being necessary an extensive quarrel and evaluation previously to the adoption of the mechanism, pondering the economic and political conjuncture of the local energy model.

Thus, the building of an efficient practice to formulate the contracts can be understood as a competitive advantage, since it allows gaining an extra income. However, the use of contracts in commercials transactions of electricity implies in costs, in developing and maintenance of the contracts. A fraction of these costs is a result of the effort to implement mechanisms of hedge and provide reliability for commercial transactions from the contract. The Brazilian electricity market, being predominated by hydroelectric generation, is very sensitive hydrological changes, creating one cause of uncertainty inherent in the system. Thus, dry seasons, the water reserve for power generation decrease and the system perform under installed capacity. Although the State has developed tools to reduce this risk, such as the Energy Reallocation Mechanism (ERM), pressures of the demand can cause crisis like what happened in the half semester of 2001. In this case it is interesting develop tools in the contracts, such as derivatives contracts. The present paper analyses the nature of the relationship of the transactions costs between options contracts in the electricity trade and compare to the costs of the risk operating in a market without derivatives.

B-253 ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT THAT THE INCLUSION OF A RURAL FEEDER IN A DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM CAUSES IN THE RELIABILITY INDEXES Agnelo Marotta Cassula¹ Fernando Selles Ribeiro¹,² Cleber Esteves Sacramento³ ¹Unesp / Faculdade de Engenharia de Guaratinguetá [email protected] ²Escola Politécnica da Universidade de São Paulo [email protected] ³CEMIG - Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais [email protected] This paper makes an analysis of the impact that the inclusion of a rural feeder in a distribution system causes in the reliability indexes. Exists the perception that including a rural feeder, which are usually radial and have less sophisticated protection scheme, the reliability of the whole distribution system it would be deteriorated. With the restructuring of the electric regulation, recently new indicators were introduced in Brazilian's law for evaluating of the reliability distribution systems. This new regulation fixes limits that if they were exceeded implicate financial tax. The electricity companies use the tax that would arise due to inclusion of the rural feeder as argument to justify the non-investment in rural areas and, therefore, contradicting the tendency of universal access to electricity public service. The results obtained for a test system and a typical Brazilian distribution system demonstrate that is not justified the fear that the main reliability indexes are obligatorily deteriorated because of the rural electrification.

The analysis of the overall efficiency of hydropower plants, as undertaken in this work, consists of studying the shape of the efficiency curve of a hydropower plant for all the range of power the plant can generate. The analysis tries to identify the possible ways of energy waste with the aid of the maximum overall efficiency curves, the main purpose is to reduce the water consumption for a given power demand by finding the best combination of operation points of the turbines installed. The Cyclic Coordinate search procedure is employed to optimize the operation of the power plants and simulations were performed to study cases where the plants have turbines with the same efficiency curves and where the plants have turbines with different efficiency curves. A consideration of few cases shows some values of possible energy waste. It is shown that, for even relatively small increases of about 1% or 2% in efficiency, the energy conservation in absolute terms is significant since the hydropower plants in Brazil have often a large power generating capacity.

However, the specialized literature proposes some solution techniques, which are limited by technical and economical factors. This work is aimed to locate single-line-toground faults, thus the maintenance work for the fault restoration and/or network repairs can be rapidly performed, providing reliable power supply to the customers by maintaining the quality power and supplying indices according to acceptable standards. It is presented a specialist system to locate faults composed by the following structure: 1) Data Base: Typical values of fault resistances, parameters and topology of the feeder, typical load curves and permanent fault rates by the feeder section; 2) Knowledge Base: Fault type selection routines, short circuit computation, load flow, estimation and localization of the possible fault location and calculation of the estimated fault resistance; 3) Data Acquisition System: Sample of fault current values on the phases, neutral at the substation output; 4) Data Base Update: Done through user, which gives as input the exact point of the incidence of one fault localized with success. The update of the data base values (fault resistance and permanent fault rates) is done periodically. It was analyzed one real-life feeder with 80% of rural and 20% of urban customers. Results showed the proposed methodology is good for locating phase to ground faults. Keywords: Fault Location, Intelligent System, Rural Distribution Feeders, Single-Line-to-Ground Fault.

Among this changes can be highlighted the decentralization of production, the independent production of concessionaires and the intensive use of alternative sources. In this sense, the termo power production has became important in the Brazilian Power Sector. With the termo power production rises the following question: how each unit of production may operate, in such a way to attend the demand with the minor possible price of production? Problem like this is called Economic Dispatch and it requires powerful tools to determine its optimal value. This paper proposes to solve the Economic Dispatch by the way of Gradient Direction formulated by the Penalty Function in the Mutation Operator from a Genetic Algorithm. This association results in a Hybrid Genetic Algorithm that assembles the best characteristics of Genetic Algorithms and Penalty Function. Cases extracted from papers show its efficiency to solves problems with 6 and 13 units of production.

The aim is the calculation of dynamic equivalents for power system transient stability studies. The methodology available in the literature deals with the dynamic aggregation of single-input stabilizer models. The dynamic aggregation of a group of coherent generating units attached to a common busbar consists in the representation of this group by one or more equivalent generating units. The dynamic aggregation has been considered as a parameter adjustment problem of equivalent models properly chosen. These parameters are numerically adjusted using the Levenberg-Marquardt method. According to the dynamic aggregation method used, only stabilizers with the same input signal are aggregated. The equivalent excitation system model is initially determined without the power system stabilizer (PSS). Then, the equivalent PSS model is included. The frequency responses are presented in Bode diagrams (magnitude and phase). The dynamic equivalents are evaluated in the New England system, considering dual-input power system stabilizer models of the Brazilian system stability database. The swing curves of the internal system generators obtained with the complete system are compared with those obtained with the equivalent system.

This technique is extremely useful to deal with cases where we have a big degree of uncertainty and, of course, Argentina has it. This work proposes two valuations of Central Costanera S.A., Argentina's largest thermoelectric generator, the first one before the Peso Devaluation and the second one after it. With this analysis I will illustrate the devaluation effects on the Company. Central Costanera is a very useful case to illustrate us those effects because it has a special geographical location, advanced Combined Cycle technology and access to Capital Markets. On the other hand the Company is very sensitive to the Spot market volatility. I have run two Simulations: the first one prior and the second one after to the Devaluation using a MCMC Markov Chain Monte Carlo Method. The key variables are different for each of the Models and have been adjusted according to historical data that will not be presented in this abstract because of the limit of this paper.

In this sense, the number of transfer functions used in the adjustment of the direct axis model has a considerable effect. The use of transfer functions has been of great help for the best rotor representation in the derived models, reason why it is recommended by the IEEE Std. 115. This paper propose to use the transfer functions in the determination of synchronous machine two-axes model; obtaining better results when using SSFR and finding parameters for the q axis, which is not possible in traditional tests. In this case, the network theory is used to explain the technique of the transfer functions. The machine considered in IEEE Std. 115 is a 192.3 MVA turbine generator and the machine considered in this work is a ¼ HP, 208 V, 1.2 A., 60 Hz synchronous generator, which complicates the measurements then are used extrapolation methods in order to find the impedance the stator resistance and in some cases differs (in their behavior) of big machines, since the construction designs are different, however the methodology that here is presented is the same one.

The Control strategy is based on an adaptive dynamic model using a Local Model Network (LMN). By using the pole-placement design, the parameters of the control law are calculated using the LMN parameters, for the current operating condition. A fuzzy supervisor scheme, based on qualitative rules, is used in order to provide a safe adaptation of the LMN parameters, avoiding erroneous learning when the system is under faults. In order to assess the performance of the proposed strategy, several simulations tests were carried out by using an nonlinear machine infite bus-bar model, with a TCSC. The results show that the proposed fuzzy strategy is able to improve the dynamic stability margins of the power system. Keywords: Power System Dynamic Stability, FuzzySystems,Adaptive Control.

In general standard methods of analysis can be divided between those working in time domain and those that work in frequency domain. This is due to the existence of mathematical representations for simple circuits elements in both cases. The possibility of using the wavelet transform for the signals and circuits elements is analyzed here using recent reported results. Circuits elements became modeled by matrices in the wavelet transform domain and, in this way, the time domain equations became algebraic equations involving matrices and vectors in the wavelet transform domain. Here the behavior of simple systems if analyzed, because the results are simpler and easy to be validated.

B O O K O F A B S T RA C T S 95 5th LATIN AMERICAN CONGRESS: ELECTRICITY GENERATION AND TRANSMISSION November, 16 - 20, 2003, São Pedro - Brazil In the old system intense maintenance and operation disturbances where necessary, due to pressure switches adjustments. The troubles about compressors stages often resulted in irreversible damages to the machines. The EAC (pressured air plant), operates with imported compressors and their components are not found in domestic market. On the other hand, their cost is quite high. A managing system with pressure transducers and a programmable logic controller, that controls the all system, warning the Operator with the performance and disturbance, has been implemented. The results were a reduction in maintenance costs and increased machines time life. In all the cases, the PLC generates a warning signal before any unexpected situation, protecting the compressor and increasing their availability to the system. The methodology of this work was: -Electrical System Interference Model; -EAC's operation philosophy and analyses; -Pressure Switches substitution by transducers analyses; -Transducers, Digital/Analogic interfaces and PLC specifications; -Changes in the actual scheme (Automation necessity). The implemented improvement produced a substantial economy to maintenance and operation of the system, so that this work is intended to be an example to other process that in the future, with increased use of automation, will become a significant increment of revenues to Electric Power Companies.

The methodology of fault location used in this work is based on the traveling waves theory, where in function of the propagation time of the signals, between fault point and the terminals of the line disclosed for the WT, the fault location is determined. The fault location problem is boarded through the practical implementation of a computational algorithm. In this implementation, the user can choose the location's technique to be used, with registered data in one or in both terminals of the line, as his necessity and/or availability of the required resources. Independent of the considered technique, the implemented algorithm presents promising results to the location of one determined fault situation on the transmission system in analysis.

It is made an analysis of the electrical aspects influence in the short term energetic planning using OPFAC together with the minimization of generation cost and the transmission losses. The generation cost minimization is made for the hidrothermal system optimization using a Hydrothermal System Optimization Program (POSH) based on a convex simplex algorithm and the application of the network flow theory, while the transmission losses minimization is made using an OPFAC based on the Dual-Newton method. These tools allow to analyze the necessity of adjustments to make compatible the energetic optimization and the electric optimization of the power system, and to search an “optimal” planning that attends the energetic planning and electric planning.

Libertador San Martín 1109 Oeste, CP 5400 - San Juan, Argentina [email protected], [email protected] The objective of the present work is to defined and develop a methodology to generate a set of pseudo-measurements that are representative of the nodal loads at each sub-station MV/LV of the radial distributors, to be used in estimating the state of distribution systems. This work presents a procedure for modelling the network loads by using typical load curves, data from users' billing files, and geographical information on connectivity. This paper includes the determination of the typical load diagrams normalized for each of the various user. These diagrams have been obtained from the statistical analysis of the consumption measurements carried out within a measurement campaign for the revision of the tariff scheme. The effect of The season of the year, the day of the week and the time of day were considered. The number and type of users connected to each MV/LV sub-station, are obtained from data on users' connectivity per node, contained in a geographic information system (GIS). Meanwhile, the power consumption of each user considered in the de-normalization of the load-curve is obtained from the users billing database. With the typical load curve and the energy consumption rates, the demand of the various users is estimated. These values, along with the information on connectivity for each user, are added up in order to obtain an estimated value of the node demand.

The first controller is a conventional PID one, with fixed-parameters well adjusted by trial and error. The other two are based on fuzzy logic. One of them is a classic fuzzy implementation of the control signal, with the system frequency deviation and its variation as inputs, using fuzzification and defuzzification, and a convenient set of fuzzy rules and membership functions. The other one uses a type of fuzzy supervision where the parameters of a PID control are obtained using fuzzy schemes, and the control signal is then formed by the conventional way. A simulation program, using MATLAB/SIMULINK, was implemented to test the controllers in the system on consideration. Results of tests presented show good performance for the fuzzy controllers. Some considerations are also presented referring to the implementation of these proposed load frequency controllers.

The referred model is based upon preference factors, which can be obtained through the Fuzzy Sets Theory. Objective and subjective aspects are then incorporated into the method through linguistic variables and fuzzy rules. The proposed spatial load forecasting model defines the load evolution according to customer classes and small areas, as well as the corresponding maximum demand and load curves in the region. Load growth is then established both in existing small areas as well as in new areas. The spatial load forecasting model provides a reliable input for the systems expansion planning in the studied region.

In the development of the work was used the software MATLAB, where a program was developed so that it was possible to modify the form of the membership function. The developed work showed that for small variations in the linearity of the membership function, in the band that can occur in controllers normally used in industrial systems, the reply of the control system did not exhibit errors that make impracticable the use of based dedicated intelligent controllers in fuzzy logic, being able the same ones to constitute an excellent option of use for the designers of control systems.

Graciela Colomé Instituto de Energía Eléctrica - Universidad Nacional de San Juan Avda. Libertador San Martín 1109 Oeste CP 5400 San Juan Argentina {rsuvire, colome}@iee.unsj.edu.ar The present work aims at defining and developing a methodology to calculate the energy loses in a subtransmission network of a distribution system on the basis of the network measurements available at a control center. Three distinct calculus alternatives are considered for computing the energy loses, by using active power, energy, and electric current measurement data. In order to determine how the precision of measuring instruments in the measurement chain affects the precision of computed loses, a study is done here on the uncertainty of measurements, and on the computed values attained from them. It was decided to try measurement instruments of a more stringent class, which enabled to verify how the uses of instruments of a higher class affects the precision level on loses. On account of the large amount of intervening measurements, an analysis was also done to find whether an error compensation was attained among the numerous measurements used in the calculus of loses. The present work includes an analysis on how possible errors on line and transformers parameters affect the computations of loses. Based on the results herein attained, it was found that the only method among the studied ones that is sufficiently precise for computing energy loses is the one using electric current measurements. The present work attempts to profit form such information on measured values, with the aim at computing the system's energy loses both globally and disaggregated into components and into subsystems. To know the values for these energy loses and the way the components contribute to their occurrence will allow to plan the investments tending to decrease such loses or, alternatively, to adopt operative configurations that cause lower loses in the electric system. During the development of the work, the proposed procedures are applied to solve a given real problem, that is, the calculus of loses in the subtransmission system of the electric power distribution system of the Province of San Juan, Argentina.

This application constitutes an example of the wavelet analysis advantage over Fourier's method, which can't detect the instant of frequencies change. The wavelet method allows the analysis of aperiódicals signals that characterize the voltage perturbations. In the Fourier analysis, the detection of the instant where the frequencies changes is not possible. The wavelet method allows the analysis of aperiódicals signals that characterize the voltage perturbations. The multirresolution analysis that provide the wavelets, allows the temporary detection of the fast transitory variations of the state variables, and at the same time the low frequency components analysis. An analysis for the de-tection of three types of short duration voltage variations was realized: voltage sags (dips), transitory elevations (swells) and short term interruptions.

The effectiveness of heat transfer in the cooling tower influences the saturation temperature in the condenser, which affects the load of the steam turbine and consequentially the efficiency of the unit. The analysis presented in the paper is based on the results of simultaneous measurements of the unit's performances, the thermodynamic variables in the cooling tower and the parameters of the condenser. The results of measurements as well as the results of analysis are presented graphically. The reconstruction of the cooling tower was performed for it's bad operational characteristics. After reconstruction, the measurements of cooling tower, condenser and performance tests of unit were repeated. The analysis was carried out from the position of operating characteristics of the unit's cold end i.e. of the cooling tower and the condenser. The results indicated that after improvement of the cooling tower efficiency the bad operating conditions in the condenser exposed to view. After improvements of the cooling tower operational characteristics the efficiency of the unit was improved, but the calculations show that through condenser more exergy is destroyed therefore it is necessarily to improve also the condenser's performance.

To directly increase the thermal efficiency of equipment it is possible to use the living heat to heat the air going into burning. For this purpose the effective heat exchangers "gas - gas" type can be used. Such heat exchangers are the air heaters on the basis of fining thermo-siphons (TS). We propose to use the bimetallic tubes to approach to the high thermal parameters of thermo-siphons. The internal tube working under high pressure is made of steel. The external aluminum tube of thermo-siphons has the spiral fins of aluminum. This aluminum tube has dense mechanical contact to steel internal tube. Working medium in thermo-siphon is distilled and decontaminated water. Long-live test (10 thousand hours) of the steel thermo-siphons with water as a working medium were executed. We show the opportunity of an effective utilization of the steel-water combination in thermo-siphon. Experimental researches of thermal resistance of the contact steel - aluminum were executed during long operation of thermo-siphons. We offer the numerical calculation procedure of heat exchangers air heaters created on the base of thermo-siphons with external spiral fins. The authors offer calculation procedure of the external convective heat exchange. The calculation of air heater for the steam boiler CB-250 (“Cleaver Brooks”) was executed. The method of thermal efficiency improvement on 5 % for this boiler at operate loading 0.75 kg/s and the dry steam pressure of 0.8 MPa is shown.

Generation, transmission, distribution companies and large consumers, all acting as participants of competitive electricity markets, interact through the energy and power exchange both in the spot and future market. In the most of Sud and Central American electricity markets economic signals by short and long-run spot prices are usually given. Energy prices can be distinguished temporarily and spacely. Here the concept of the incorporation of the transmission losses arises and with it of the penalization factors (or its inverse, node factors). The energy price can it turns also influenced by the generation capacities and transmission capacities. In this context also arises the necessity of having tools that B O O K O F A B S T RA C T S 113 5th LATIN AMERICAN CONGRESS: ELECTRICITY GENERATION AND TRANSMISSION November, 16 - 20, 2003, São Pedro - Brazil allow to calculate the energy prices obtained in the preliminary dispatch programming (Exante) and in the real execution (Expost). The differences among that executed and that programmed arises due to load modifications, faults of components, non programmed maintenance, etc. The expost modelation requires precise results, since in many cases it is used to calculate the final remunerations to the agents of the market. This paper presents a friendly-user interface for economic dispatch of thermal units and energy pricing that use a heuristic based on linear programming and lagrangean relaxation. Transmission congestion and losses are considered so as all operation constraints of generation units. The complete package there is been implemented using object-oriented programming with Visual Basic 6.0 (VB6), Windows API functions -Application Programmer's Interface-, Data storage through Microsoft Jet and Graphic Server were used. A brief description of the mathematical model is made, and also the graphical interactive environment that allows from a friendly way to the user to be able to carry out energy prices calculations, analysis, reports and statistical is presented.

Alejandro Hoese Universidad Nacional de San Juan - Facultad de Ingeniería Instituto de Energía Eléctrica Avda. Libertador San Martín 1109 (Oeste), CP 5400 San Juan ARGENTINA Tel: (0054 264) 4226444 Fax: (0054 264) 4210299 [email protected] An economic dispatch methodology based on combinatorial optimization is presented in this work. The methodology uses a high performance evolutionary algorithm -Simulated Rebounding- as optimization engine. The advantage of the methodology is based on 1) the easy consideration of non-linearities and non-convexities without assuming major simplifications, 2) the possibility to evaluate good solutions with minor relaxations and 3) the parallel nature of the computations. The combinatorial approach finds the optimum by trying dispatches fulfilling the given operation constraints. The spot pricing methodology is based on an ex-post approach considering the results of the economic dispatch. The main handicap of any combinatorial approach is, even with current computers, computation time requirement. Nevertheless, the internal parallelism of the methodology proposed allows the natural implementation on parallel computers to speed up drastically the time performance. Some results of the application of the methodology to power systems are presented, in which the network is considered at the transmission level. A comparison with an economic dispatch based on linear-programming is also presented. Keywords: Economic Dispatch. Combinatorial Optimization. Ex-post spot pricing.

B-245 ENERGY CONSERVATION IN COOLING TOWERS Joaquim Antonio dos Reis José Luz Silveira Pérsia Eiko Domeni UNESP- Campus de Guaratinguetá Faculdade de Engenharia - Departamento de Energia {jareis, joseluz}@feg.unesp.br A cooling tower make a cold water to enter in contact with the air resulting in the evaporation of part of that water. In most of the towers one or more propellers or centrifugal fans move the air upward or in crossflow through them. A great superficial area of water is provided spraying the water by ejectors or making the water to go down the packing tower in decks (or chicanes). In a great number of industrial applications, the process heat is removed using cooling towers, in which the hot water of the installation is continually recirculated and cool using the evaporative cooling principle. In the most common type of cooling tower the temperature of the circulating water is reduced placing it in direct contact with the air. Such towers are called wet towers : the cooling is obtained partially by the evaporation of a fraction of thecirculation water and partially for the transfer of sensitive heat. As the towers are usually separate from the main installation, they are usually unknown until that a crisis happens. A lot of attention has been given now to your project, to assure an effective operation. To cooling a same amount of water, the less consumption of energy in the tower is possible, and one of the items responsible by this consumption is the type of packing. The packings provide different areas of thermal exchange by unit of volume, implicating in demands of air smaller for the same cooling, and by consequence smaller work is provided for the fans to impel the amount of air demanded by the specific conditions by an operation at a smaller cost. The physical situation inside a cooling tower is very complex (films and drops of water in the air are in constant configuration exchanges). There are not a mathematical model that is capable to simulate all the details of the process of simultaneous transfer of heat and mass that happens inside the tower. This article analyzes the operation of a cooling tower and identifies the electric power consumption in the system in use and proposes exchanges in some tower parameters that leave to a smaller consumption of energy in the fans drivers.

In the first step, technical and economic viability using cogeneration system joining gas turbine system and absorption refrigeration system (ARS) was analyzed, substituting a existing electric chiller (to provide all necessity of cold water to B O O K O F A B S T RA C T S 115 5th LATIN AMERICAN CONGRESS: ELECTRICITY GENERATION AND TRANSMISSION November, 16 - 20, 2003, São Pedro - Brazil refrigerating chamber). In this situation, it was generated 2043 kW of electricity and 2725 kW of refrigeration power (cold water in 1º C). This cogeneration system generate all refrigeration power useful and electricity required to the industry, saving at about 1.100 kW used by electric chiller, having a global saving at about 3.143 kW. In this case, the pay-back of the investment, is about 43 months. At after, technical and economic viability using biogás, produced at the Waste Treatment System (WTS), was analyzed, and its medium production is 80 Nm3/h, to a ARS, producing some cold water to this dairy factory. It suggests the direct burn of the biogás to this refrigeration system using as refrigerant fluid ammonia and as absorbent water. In this case, the ARS studied generate 24,17% of the thermal power to the refrigeration system in this factory, saving about 298,28 kW of electricity. Using this ARS, it is possible the pay-back at about 8,64 months. It is concluded, in the two cases, it has technique and economic possibility the conservation of electricity.

The law requires the development of energy standards for all of energy consuming equipment commercialized in the country. This paper presents the impacts of introducing cost-effective improvements in domestic refrigerators that were determined by means of a LCCA analysis. The analytical approach and computer simulation tool used in the study are the ones employed for the US DOE as well as the European Commission. The results were used to estimate the impacts of efficiency standards on new refrigerators up to year 2020 assuming two hypothetical cases. Case A assumes that all new refrigerators sold have the efficiency innovations proposed here, Case B assumes that part of these innovations would be included in a first mandatory standard enforced in year 2005 and in 2010 a second mandatory standard would consider all the innovations analyzed. The electricity consumption per refrigerator in Case A can be reduced by 43% (in 2005) with currently known and available technologies. The payback time to the consumer (12% interest rate) is calculated to be 7 years (lower than the 16 years average life time). Over 2005-2020 period, Brazil would save around 80 TWh, Brazilian consumers would save more than 12 Billion R$ on their electricity bills and the nation would save 38,000 GgCO2 (due to avoided CO2 emissions from natural gas power plants).In Case B, we assume two mandatory standards, one enforced in year 2005 that yields a 24% reduction. A second mandatory standard set in 2010 reduces by 48% (compared to the base year 2000 refrigerator consumption). The payback time was calculated as 7 and 12 years, respectively. Over 2005-2020 period, Brazil would save 70 TWh, the consumers would save 9 billion R$ and the nation would save 34,000 GgCO2.

The PWM is implemented by a low-cost microcontroller provided with optimized charts for distinct speed value implementations, synchronized transition between different charts and reduced odd harmonics generation. The open-loop speed control is implemented with an equal voltage/frequency ratio, in order to maintain a constant amount of torque. This technique was implemented using a single passenger vehicle, a Mini-Baja vehicle type.

B-252 ECONOMY OF ENERGY IN ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM USING EFFICIENT LAMPS IN PUBLIC AND RESIDENTIAL ILLUMINATION AND THEIR EFFECTS ON THE POWER QUALITY. Maldonado A O. A Horii R. H. Reis L. O. M. Botura Jr. G. Mesquita L. Universidade Estadual Paulista “Júlio de Mesquita Filho” Av. Dr. Ariberto Pereira da Cunha, 333 12516-410 Guaratinguetá, SP, Brazil [email protected] The increasing presence of compact fluorescent lamps and high-pressure sodium lamps in residential, commercial, industrial and public illumination has caused a considerable increase of harmonics on the power system, with serious consequences in the quality of the power supplied, causing since malfunctioning until the loss of equipments fed by the system. In despite of the best performance in energetic terms, it is still unknown the effects that its use can provoke in the quality of the power supplied by the utility. In the same way, it seems necessary to try to establish a commitment among what is won with the economy of energy and what is lost with the decrease of the power quality. To find indexes that show and quantify the compromising of the power quality is one of the challenges of the moment. This work present the results from a experiment study of the effects of efficient lamps in power quality of the secondary voltage distribution system.
