The potential benefits of the modernization of electric power distribution systems will only be achieved through the development of methodologies that improve utility processes traditionally considered to be challenging and costly. Among them, there are those characterized by the improvement in the quality and reliability of the electricity supply and the decrease in operating costs, such…
Electrical energy distribution systems have been subjected to crucial changes related to the integration of new technologies, such as, photovoltaic generators, electric vehicles, storage, and meters and sensors for billing and monitoring purposes, with two-way data communication. These changes are accompanied by the increase in the complexity of the distribution systems and, consequently,…
The recent technological advances dedicated to electric power systems have led to substantial investments in a supervised structure that explores the usage of measurement and monitoring devices and advanced telecommunication and control systems. These investments aim to improve the quality and reliability of electric power delivery as well as to decrease operational costs. With the advent…
Modern electric power distribution systems have migrated from a passive, non-supervised structure with low level of automation to an active and supervised structure, with high level of automation due to the introduction of photovoltaic generators, smart meters, and new automatic control and reactive power compensation devices. In the case of photovoltaic generation, for example, the world…
The electrical power distribution systems have been subjected to a modernization process characterized, among other factors, by a higher level of monitoring and measurement. Besides, a telecommunication infrastructure is integrated into these systems allowing, for example, that the data collected from different points of the network to be reliably transferred to data management centers. T…
One of the main protection functions of generators connected to electricity distribution networks is anti-islanding protection, which must disconnect them when the portion of the network where they are connected becomes isolated (islanded) from the utility grid. The increased penetration of distributed generation made the National System Operator (NSO) suggest the introduction of voltage …
Electrical power distribution networks are likely to experience in the next decade significant infrastructural changes due to the massive integration of low carbon technologies. The deployment of these devices, for instance, photovoltaic (PV) systems, are expected to be encouraged by governments in accordance to the Paris Agreement, signed by 195 countries, including Brazil, to reduce gre…
Electric power distribution systems have been submitted to major changes related to the integration of new technologies such as distributed generators, electric vehicles, energy storage systems, smart meters with two-way communication, and digital protection equipment. Currently, technological advances related to the digital protection equipment, such as high sampling rate and the capabil…

The electric power systems are one of the pivots to meet the need for decentralization and decarbonization of the economy; they are part of a transformation characterized, among other factors, by integrating utility and third-party owned Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). If, on the one hand, the DERs allow meeting this need, also representing new business opportunities; on the other ha…
The electrical power distribution systems have been subjected to a modernization process characterized, among other factors, by a higher level of monitoring and measurement. As such, the amount of installed smart meters is increasing worldwide. The global smart meter market was evaluated at US$ 21.13 billion in 2019, and, according to Allied Market Research, it is projected to grow at a C…
