Climate Change Impacts in the Assured Energy of the Brazilian Power Generation System
Funded by Brazilian Electricity Regulation Agency (ANEEL) Strategic R&D Project, 2011-2014
The goal of this project is to evaluate possible climate change effects in the Brazilian hydropower systems. We aim to evaluate results of the climate projections from the 4th report of the Intergovernamental Pannel on Climate Change (IPCC) and their association with future water inflows in all the major water basins in the country. An interaction among regional climate, water inflows modeling, and optimal dispatch is considered in this work assessing potential impacts for the Brazilian hydropower system.
