A CTG Brazil, in partnership with the SENAI Institute, Thymos Energia and Wisebyte is developing a project PDI (Research, Development and Innovation) of ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency) for a storage system energy installed in Ilha Solteira (SP). 

O project is a laboratory based on storage electrochemical energy in batteries and DG (distributed generation) and will be built in a solar plant at UHE Ilha Solteira, on the border between the states of São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul, between the cities of Ilha Solteira and Selvíria. A power plant will have approximately 900 solar modules.

A capacity installed of the photovoltaic plant will be 500 kWp and the possibility of generating electrical energy equivalent to the consumption of more than 380 residences

Studies planned for the laboratory estimated that acenergy storage capacity in batteries will be 100 kWh

A principle, the energy generated will meet the consumption of CTG Brasil within the local distributor's coverage area. However, other forms of energy use will be evaluated.

This CTG Brasil project is an important step towards boosting clean generation and reducing the cost of electricity, as it will develop battery solutions to increase generation flexibility and system stability”, says Sérgio Fonseca, director of Business Development and PDI at CTG Brasil.  

You technical studies, which will be conducted together with ISI-TICs/SENAI Pernambuco, Thymos Energia and Wisebyte, will evaluate how battery systems, which have enormous potential for use, can contribute to non-dispatchable sources by increasing generation flexibility, providing ancillary services, controlling network fluctuations, and other services. 

O project will also develop computer systems which will use artificial intelligence technologies to indicate the best cost-benefit ratio for implementing USB (Utility Scale Battery) in hydroelectric, wind or solar generation assets. 

Finally, the studies will contribute to the development of regulation and procedures for using batteries on a large scale in the Brazilian electrical system.

"O project is innovative and contributes greatly to the development of an ancillary services market in Brazil, complementary to traditional energy and capacity products. We are going to develop an important case that will be tested in practice and will give us subsidies to contribute to the construction of regulation for these resources”, says Jovanio Santos, director of New Business at Thymos Energia.

About CTG Brasil

One of the largest energy generators in the country, CTG Brasil has investments in 17 hydroelectric plants and 11 wind farms, with a total installed capacity of 8.3 GW. Created in 2013, it is indirectly controlled by China Three Gorges Corporation, one of the global leaders in clean energy generation. 

About Thymos Energia

Thymos Energia is a Brazilian energy consultancy and management company. It works with the chain: generation, transmission, distribution, commercialization and guides investors looking for opportunities in these segments. 

About Wisebyte 

Wisebyte is a company that offers aggregated solutions in the development and application of software for the energy and telecommunications sectors. It specializes in measurement systems, highly complex, performance and scalable software, as well as IoT (Internet of Things) hardware products for industrial use and Smart Cities. 

It arose from the acquisition of Grupo Delta Energia which, in 2022, announced the purchase of BestDeal Technologies, a company dedicated to developing products for the telecommunications, energy and industrial markets. Currently, Wisebyte has offices in Uberlândia (MG) and São Paulo (SP) to serve national and international companies.
