Experiences of the operational policies of the energy control centers

Energy control centers are responsible for decision-making that guarantees an interconnected electrical system’s normal and economical operation. The change in operational paradigm that electrical systems face due to the energy transition, the electrification of demand, delays in the expansion of the transmission structure, and greater availability of available data leads to redesigning operational policies and the decision-making in control centers. In this context, this panel discusses the experiences of the control centers in the face of this change in operational paradigm and how new technologies can be integrated to operate the electrical system appropriately in real time.
