Phases | Technologies | 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 |
