Robotic Process Automation Extended with Artificial Intelligence Techniques in Power Distribution Utilities

Braz. arch. biol. technol; 64 (spe), 2021
Abstract Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is one of the several important techniques currently available for companies in search of performance improvement. The step forward in RPA is its association with Artificial Intelligence for more skilled robots. This scenario is not different in Power Distributio...

Recent Research and Development of Microgrids in Parana

Braz. arch. biol. technol; 64 (spe), 2021
Abstract Microgrids (MGs) have increasingly attracted the attention of researchers, government officials, and electricity companies for the values and services they can add to the grid. They can operate independently as a single controllable unit in a coordinated way while connected or islanded, which ma...

Integrated project of a smart microgrid allied with energy management: An initiative to reduce electrical energy costs

Braz. arch. biol. technol; 62 (spe), 2019
Abstract Electricity is undoubtedly one of the most important resources in the modern world. As the demand for electric energy increases, conventional resources that are transformed into electric energy are being exhausted, generating a need to search for alternative sources, resulting in a significant i...

Demand Manager for Energy Consumer with Local Storage and Microgeneration

Braz. arch. biol. technol; 62 (spe), 2019
Abstract The current reality of the energy market requires generation, control, distribution and consumption to become more efficient. Recent arrangements with electric energy stored in accumulators appear as strategic tools in the environment where the cost of energy supplied by the concessionaires and ...

State of the Art of the Application of Energy Storage Systems in Photovoltaic Buildings

Braz. arch. biol. technol; 62 (spe), 2019
Abstract Photovoltaic (PV) buildings are increasingly present in urban centers and can generate their own energy becoming independent of the grid, depending on their consumption profile. However, most residential and commercial consumers show their peak demand at night, when there is no photovoltaic gene...

Proposal for a Monitoring and Dispatch System for Distributed Micro-Generation of Renewable Energy in Virtual Energy Centers

Braz. arch. biol. technol; 61 (spe), 2018
ABSTRACT The creation and updating of ANEEL (National Electricity Regulatory Agency) regulatory resolution on distributed generation provided a new business environment for the electricity sector, as well as enabling consumers to generate energy. In this context, distributed microgeneration plants manage...

Feasibility Study through Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Systems in Curitiba

Braz. arch. biol. technol; 61 (spe), 2018
ABSTRACT The increase in energy demand in Brazil encourages the country to increasingly invest in generation of electric energy, where the demand for other renewable sources increases gradually because they have a lower impact on the environment. The use of Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Systems (GCPVS) is ...

Generation of Photovoltaic Solar Energy. Evaluation of the Demand Curve with the Insert of Grid-connected Photovoltaic Power System at CINDACTA II, Curitiba-PR, Brazil

Braz. arch. biol. technol; 61 (spe), 2018
ABSTRACT Unlike some countries, Brazil has a predominantly hydraulic energy matrix, a clean and renewable source. But, in recent years, both the non-renewal of the normal volumes of water in the reservoirs and the lack of consciousness in the consumption of water and energy have placed the country in a c...

Development of a Prototype for Measurement of Electrical Energy

Braz. arch. biol. technol; 61 (spe), 2018
ABSTRACT The present work presents the development of a system of measurement of electric energy consumption. This system shows the consumer the amount of energy consumed and its respective monetary value in real time. The prototype was used in a case study to validate its operation. Data were collected ...

Analysis of the Impacts of the Electrification of the Vehicle Fleet in the Electric Power System in Curitiba

Braz. arch. biol. technol; 61 (spe), 2018
ABSTRACT The Market share of electrical vehicles has been rising in the past few years and tends to rise even more. According to the International Energy Agency, an increase of 50% in the number of electrical vehicles is expected. Whilst that increase is beneficial from a greenhouse gases emissions drop ...
