One of the challenges faced by Brazilian distribution utilities to enable the connection and operation of microgrids (MGs) is the absence of a solid set of technical standards in the country. An alternative has been to use and adapt existing standards applied to micro- and mini-distributed generation.

Brazilian University Launches New Solar and Energy Storage

Dubbed CampusGrid, the microgrid includes a 565 kW photovoltaic (PV) system, a 1 MW/1.27 MWh high capacity battery energy storage system (BESS) and a 250 kilovolt-amperes (kVa) natural gas backup generator.

Barriers, challenges and opportunities for microgrid implementation

In Brazil, the worldwide known indicator SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index) was 15.8 h in 2016, much higher than in the USA (4 h) or France (1 h) (ANEEL, 2015, Rouse and Kelly, 2011). Total system losses, valued at 20.2% in 2014, show that the BPS is not very efficient when compared to the USA (5.9%) or Germany (3.9%) ( EPE

6 FAQs about [Micro grid system Brazil]

Does Brazil need a microgrid?

The regulatory framework in Brazil is still adapting to include microgrids in its power sector. In this sense, micro and minigeneration regulation and energy storage R&D, besides the white tariff and smart metering, are important to support its development. One of the largest energy consumers at UFRJ is the CT.

Why are microgrids so expensive in Brazil?

In Brazil, microgrids are still at an incipient stage.3 Because the technological foundation and expertise are concentrated in foreign markets and, due to the low participation of national industry in the manufacturing of microgrid components, their technological dependence and costs are high in the country.

How to promote DG and microgrids in Brazil?

Besides, issues such as tariff structure and distribution planning could promote DG and microgrids in Brazil. The microgrid could be subject to a flat buying and selling electricity rate or to a varying rate with time (Time-of-Use - ToU) for buying and selling electricity. In order to stimulate microgrids, the ToU tariff could be important.

Can a microgrid be integrated with a power and quality management system?

Microgrids may also need support for other components such as energy control and management systems. The power and quality management system’s cost of Am Steinweg microgrid (Germany) must be lowered so that its large-scale integration may be feasible. (Soshinskaya et al., 2014 ).

Are all microgrids able to benefit from DG & net metering?

The Bronsbergen microgrid (Netherlands) had its storage system donated and the University of California microgrid (USA) has received US$ 8 million funding since 2008 (Jones et al., 2015, Soshinskaya et al., 2014 ). Despite the support for renewable Distributed Generation (DG), Feed-in or net metering, not all microgrids can benefit from these.

Do microgrids need a regulatory framework?

In general, the Brazilian regulatory framework is still in the early stages of adapting to include microgrids. Therefore, some regulatory needs should be resolved. The results of this survey show some of the main barriers that microgrids must face in order to achieve their integration into the sector.
