On February 7, 2025, IEE-USP (Institute of Energy and Environment of USP) will hold a free seminar dedicated to smart mini-grids applied to isolated and interconnected systems, as part of the celebrations for the 30th anniversary of LSF-IEE/USP (Photovoltaic Systems Laboratory).
The event will be held at IEE-USP, Auditorium of Building C, located at Avenida Prof. Luciano Gualberto, 1289, São Paulo – SP. To participate, it is necessary to in advance by email at comunicaçã[email protected], with the subject: “Registration for the seminar on 07/02/2025”.
The seminar will bring together experts to discuss topics such as energy storage, second-life batteries and new technologies for smart grids.
The program will include technical lectures, business s, and an international session. Participants will also have the opportunity to visit the institute’s mini-grid facilities. This seminar is part of a series of bimonthly events planned by IEE-USP throughout 2025.
