Field experiences and lessons learned with the grid integration of DERs
An NSERC CREATE TOP-SET Seminar with Dr. Fernanda Trindade from University of Campinas, Brazil
Jun 26, 2023 — All day
Dr. Trindade will present field experiences and lessons learned from the last 10 years of the research group in power systems at the University of Campinas, Brazil, in R&D projects sponsored by distribution utilities.
Event details
Abstract: This talk will cover the field experiences and lessons learned from the last 10 years of the research group in power systems from the University of Campinas, Brazil, in R&D projects sponsored by distribution utilities. These projects involved integrating distributed energy resources in distribution power systems and led to the implementation of the largest living lab in Latin America. The Brazilian regulatory model for R&D projects in power systems will be presented as a successful model for enabling the preparation of the grid for the energy transition.
This event is organized as part of the NSERC CREATE TOP-SET Program.
