Key Visit From Brazil’s Operador Nacional do Sistema Elétrico

Guangzhou - For three days in early, May Mr. Schuck Ronaldo, Operating Director of Brazilian Operador Nacional do Sistema Elétrico (ONS),  together with 3 colleagues, visited China Southern Power Grid’s headquarters here and held meetings with operators of the CSG General Dispatch Center about grid dispatch, risk prevention and risk control.

With common features of long-distance, large-capacity transmission and AC/DC parallel operation, both ONS and CSG are faced also with similar problems and challenges in power grid planning and construction as well as safe and quality energy production and operation.

Both sides, with a firm foundation of cooperation, are always willing to exchange important views.

Since a cooperative agreement was signed in 2014 between CSG and ONS, this recent visit in May marked the third time that the two parties have had such face-to-face exchanges.

More than 10 technical experts from the CSG General Dispatch Center, specializing in grid dispatch, operation mode, protection, water dispatch, communications and automation, held in-depth discussions with their Brazilian counterparts on various topics, including risk prevention and control of the MIDC system, frequency control of asynchronously interconnected system, optimal dispatch of large hydropower system, AC/DC protection coordination and dispatch cockpit.

These discussions fully demonstrate CSG’s practices in power grid operation and the results it has reaped, which were lauded by the visiting Brazilian ONS members.

During his departing remarks, Mr. Ronaldo said, “Through these fruitful communications, we have a deeper understanding of CSG’s cutting-edge technologies and ideas, and hope for more technical exchanges and cooperation, so as to achieve mutual benefits and win-win results”.
