The majority of large-scale disturbances that occur in electric power systems derive from events and operational circumstances that are difficult to predict. This observation coupled with the increasing degree of complexity involved in this operation reveal evidence that it is essential to focus on development of more updated and effective tools aimed at monitoring and controlling electrical systems with real-time visibility.

In this sense, the Company uses, for example, the RTDS (Real-Time Digital Simulator) to carry out simulations of electrical phenomena such as failures and disturbances, and provide diagnosis on the malfunction in the protection system. Thus, it is possible to obtain more data for the diagnosis and handling real problems, in addition to analyzing the problems that have already occurred in the past.
CTEEP also uses the Operator Training Simulator (OTS), so as to enable the team of professionals to cope with any situation, by learning in details the power system behavior under any type of circumstances, including the operational functions, such as maneuver execution and operation routines. Thus, after the qualification of the team of professionals, the safety in operations should become more solid.

Other projects that apply advanced technologies aimed to enhance the Company`s operational performance have already been mentioned in the topic on Research and Development in this report.
