By providing the first publicly available, spatially explicit, harmonized, and English version of Brazil''s energy data, we enable researchers to replicate the Brazilian energy system and/or
Mechanical systems for energy storage, such as Pumped Hydro Storage (PHS) and Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES), represent alternatives for large-scale cases. PHS, which is a well-established and mature solution, has been a popular technology for many years and it is currently the most widely adopted energy storage technology [ 12 ], as
We discuss the effect of transmission switching on the total investment and operational costs, siting and sizing decisions of energy storage systems, and load shedding and renewable energy
In 2020, the MME, EPE and Brazil''s National Grid Operator (ONS) published a pilot study on new mechanisms to integrate an increasing amount of intermittent renewable energy into the energy system. Modelled based on security of supply of the Brazilian energy system, the study demonstrates measures to
Among the available sources, solar energy, biomass, hydroelectric, wave, tidal, geothermal and wind power can substitute the traditional sources of oil, gas and coal successfully. As in the rest of the world, Brazil has spent great efforts in order to develop technology and implement new energy sources.
Overall, the study highlights the MESSAGEix model as an adaptable tool for evaluating SPHS technology''s benefits within Brazil''s energy system, underlining the need for further exploration and investment in energy storage solutions to facilitate a sustainable energy transition in Brazil and beyond.
Employing energy system analyses, we examine the integration of e-kerosene production into Brazil''s national energy supplies. We introduce PyPSA-Brazil, an open-source energy system
In this study, a 100% renewable energy (RE) system for Brazil in 2030 was simulated using an hourly resolution model. The optimal sets of RE technologies, mix of capacities, operation modes and least cost energy supply were calculated and the role of storage technologies was analysed.
Sugarcane bagasse is the primary source of biomass. To the knowledge of the authors, there are no studies have specifically investigated the energy production potential of biomass thermal plants in Brazil. However, reference 20 addresses the geographically installable capacity.
Biomass can be burnt directly for heating or power generation, or converted into oil or natural gas substitutes. In the last 15 years, the generation of electricity from biomass thermal plants in Brazil has been increasing, from 6 GW to 14 GW, accounting for 13% of the capacity matrix of electricity for 2020.
Brazil, rich in renewable resources, expansive geography, and long-standing bioenergy expertise, is uniquely positioned to accelerate e-kerosene adoption and become a competitive green energy exporter 8, 14. However, Brazil lags in formulating a national strategy for SAFs 15.
