Abstract

The present electrical energy crisis is leading governments, businesses in the electricity sector and large consumers to look for new ways of generating, transmitting and distributing energy and solutions for increasing efficiency and installed capacity. Brazil has gone on to discuss in greater depth the quality of the energy generated, transmitted, distributed and consumed in a scenario of a restructured electrical sector. The basic objective of this study is to test the technical viability of the development of a computational tool the conception of which is geared towards helping the management of the electricity sector in an integrated and efficient manner. Its specific objectives are compliance with legal obligations on the part of the agents, including the regulatory bodies, preservation of natural resources afforded by the promotion of information, and simulations and improvement in the quality of services and management support based on the integration of diverse sources of information handled under the focus of process and information technology. It is hoped that the specification of this computational tool will assist in the simulation of desired results and the identification of the origin of distortions and waste, with a view to reducing costs and an improvement in the quality of the services delivered.
