OBJECTIVES AND METHODOLOGY
Implementation of a functional Living Lab, capable of experimenting with innovative solutions adhering to the concept of Smart Electric Grids considered in the R&D project and also of upcoming technologies;
Application of innovative technological solutions, such as Self-Healing operated from the substation, centralized Volt / Var control solutions and implementation of telecommunications infrastructure and processing of new data made available by the Smart Electric Grids measurement infrastructure;
Development of a “Roadmap” definition model for solutions in Smart Grids, considering the systemic and market specificities of Eletropaulo's concession area;
The Methodology used in the development of the project was designed to cover all aspects from basic studies to the implementation and testing of each technology developed, as well as its technological transfer. Thus, the development of the project in question took place through the structuring of 6 (six) research blocks, namely:
1. Governance Block
2. Advanced Distribution Automation Block
3. Customer Interaction Block
4. Supply Alternatives Block
5. Smart Metereing Block
6. Telecommunications Block
In the “Governance” block, the technological lines to be followed were defined, with a management model, Living Labs Blueprint, metrics model and Roadmap methodology for the entire concession area. Thus, the other technological blocks followed the guidelines outlined in this block and, through this, maintained the synergy between technologies inherent to the Smart Grid solutions.
