Definition

Generation

Inverters “Grid Tie”

Use of “Grid Tie” inverter, connecting to mains, e.g. photovoltaic systems

Transmission

Synchrophasors

Measurement of Synchronized Phasor, i.e. sinusoidal measurements of AC magnitudes, and synchronized in time expressed in phasors. To determine useful information about grid performance

FACTS (Flexible Alternate Current Transmission Systems) para HVAC (High Voltage Alternating Current) e

HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current)

AC or DC (High Voltage ou Low Voltage) voltage, transmission from generation to distribution

Static Deviation/Compensator VAR (Volt-amper reactive)

Used for static VAR compensation, have mutual inductance lines, consuming reactive power

Test and modeling of transmission

Software for Analysis of Transmitted Power

Full suite of tools to create, configure, customize and manage power transmission systems

Transmission in cases of distribution of HVDC and generation by renewable sources

Inverters and rectifiers

Used for conversion AC-DC and DC-AC

Transmission and distribution

Substation automation

Applications of automation: Control, timing, voltage transfer, reduction and detection of loads

Transmission, distribution and substation

Relays and circuit breakers

The relay is actuated to detect any failure in the power system, disarming the breakers of the circuits, avoiding damage to the equipment

Distribution

(Distribution management system-DMS)

Fault location for distribution System.

Fault locators are devices and software, usually installed in substations to identify possible fault events, calculating the distance from the point of the failure to the source monitored identified in distribution system

Distribution

AMI

(Advanced metering Infraestrutura)

AMI provides the communication with the smart meters and other power management devices

Distribution, information management.

Distribution automation

The system consists of equipment’s, communication infrastructure and information technology, which are used as intelligence distribution system

Information management

Management system of measurement data

Used for complex data collection processes measured for multiple data recording technologies

RTU

(Remote Terminal Unit)

The function of the RTU is the remote location of the system SCADA, for monitoring and control of the necessary equipment

SCADA

(Supervisory Control and

Data Acquisition)

Computational system that monitors and controls infrastructure and industrial plant processes based installation

EMS

(Energy Management System)

The EMS are tools used for operation of electrical grid, to monitor, control and optimize the performance of systems for generation, transmission and distribution

Information management and consumer economics

Smart Meters

The smart meter registers the range of the electric energy consumption
