Energy transmission and distribution systems face the challenge of guaranteeing the stability of the grid under this new model based on distributed generation, primarily associated with the integration of renewable energy plants.

Fossil fuel-based energy systems are centralized and easy to predict. However, the production of new sources of energy takes place at various locations, and is therefore discontinuous and subject to variability, making the process more complex.

Digitalization of the grid makes it possible to have accurate information available about grid parameters at any given time. Real-time control of the grid provides the operator with essential and accurate information to improve proactive decision-making. With optimal information, it is possible to generate systems that are more efficient and reliable.

Protection, control and automation systems are key elements that guarantee a reliable, efficient, and sustainable electrical grid.
