O ONS (National Electric System Operator) recorded, between August and September, 35 new brands in photovoltaic solar generation. The indices were appointed and published by the SIN (National Interconnected System) and the Northeast and Southeast subsystems.
O current record in instantaneous generation (peak generation) in the SIN is from September 18th at 12:30 pm, with 22.810 MW, corresponding to 27% of demand in Brazil at the moment.
Currently, the peak generation record is 22.810 MW, at 12:30 pm, on September 18, according to the SIN. In August, solar energy production reached and exceeded levels in 20 moments. The data shows 15 times when solar energy reached increasingly higher points.
In the case of the average, the highest measurement is on September 11th, with an average of 7.434 MW, equivalent to 10% of society's demand, that is, a tenth of the entire load need that day was met by solar energy.
In the Southeast and Central West regions, the behavior of the subsystem was similar, with records measured on the same production profiles and SIN dates. On the same day, September 18, SE/CO reached a new level of instantaneous solar generation, with 11.914 MW at 11:31 am, or 24,1% of demand.
The average, in turn, reached its highest recent upper bound on September 11th, with 3.814 average MW in the region. The records for photovoltaic solar in the Northeast are from the beginning of September and the end of August.
In the first record of the current month, the peak generation recorded in the region was 7.617 MW, at 11:34 am, equivalent to 59,7% of the load needed for the subsystem at that time.
As regards average solar production, the highest volume was on August 25: 2.557 average MW or 20,3% of demand. According to the ONS, the Brazilian electrical matrix has 85% of installed capacity from renewable sources, with massive growth in wind and solar energy in the near future.
“The greater inclusion of renewable sources in the matrix represents a clean and cheap energy solution, a fundamental ingredient for the fair energy transition that we want and are working in this direction to deliver to society”, says Luiz Carlos Ciocchi, general director of ONS.
