Although distributed generation (DG) and energy storage systems (ESSs) compose the proposed model, electricity markets where these technologies are absent can also be analyzed, which is particularly important since ESS is still underdeveloped in Brazil. 2. Power flows simulations for varying installed capacity of DG and ESS
The increase in wind and solar sources in the generation of electricity (zero loss) and the increase in the supply of biomass from sugarcane and biodiesel contributed to keep the Brazilian energy matrix at a renewable level much higher than that observed in the rest of the world.
Energy storage is still incipient in Brazil; thus, it will take some time until detailed data on storage systems are available, but this is expected to occur at some point. The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.
Present in the Brazilian energy mix, it is a renewable biofuel and has a good calorific value and can be used for electricity generation. The map on the side shows the installed capacity for generating electricity from biogas in the states of Brazil. In 2019, increase of 169% in distributed generation.
