Dr. Trindade (IEEE Senior Member) graduated in Electrical Engineering from São Paulo State University (UNESP), Brazil in 2006. She received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil, in 2009 and 2013, respectively. Currently, she is an Associate Professor at UNICAMP. She had spent one year as a visiting student in Power Disturbance and Signalling (PDS) Research Lab, University of Alberta (UofA), Edmonton, Canada. She has been an Editor of IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery and IEEE Power Engineering Letters. Her research interests are power distribution system automation and monitoring, fault location and non-technical losses.More info: https://sites.google.com/unicamp.br/fernanda (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Over the last five years, UNICAMP has managed to articulate a complete innovation ecosystem facing the challenges of energy management, energy efficiency and energy transition, that is, the change to an energy matrix based on renewable energies with low or no emission of greenhouse gases. In addition to bringing together companies, researchers, managers, social and multilateral organizati…
The potential benefits of the modernization of electric power distribution systems will only be achieved through the development of methodologies that improve utility processes traditionally considered to be challenging and costly. Among them, there are those characterized by the improvement in the quality and reliability of the electricity supply and the decrease in operating costs, such…
Electrical energy distribution systems have been subjected to crucial changes related to the integration of new technologies, such as, photovoltaic generators, electric vehicles, storage, and meters and sensors for billing and monitoring purposes, with two-way data communication. These changes are accompanied by the increase in the complexity of the distribution systems and, consequently,…
The recent technological advances dedicated to electric power systems have led to substantial investments in a supervised structure that explores the usage of measurement and monitoring devices and advanced telecommunication and control systems. These investments aim to improve the quality and reliability of electric power delivery as well as to decrease operational costs. With the advent…
Managing energy losses is a constant concern for electrical energy distribution companies and society as a whole, as these losses affect the efficiency of electrical systems. Energy losses can be categorized into two types: technical and non-technical losses. Technical losses are inherent to the operation of the electrical system, such as those caused by the Joule effect. In contrast, non…
With the increasing concern about the electrification of the economy, it has become mandatory to ensure greater efficiency in the use of electrical energy transmission and distribution systems. Loss mitigation is a crucial process for distribution utilities in this regard. One common form of non-technical loss in electrical energy distribution systems is electricity theft. This practice i…
The electrical power distribution systems have been subjected to a modernization process characterized, among other factors, by a higher level of monitoring and measurement. Besides, a telecommunication infrastructure is integrated into these systems allowing, for example, that the data collected from different points of the network to be reliably transferred to data management centers. T…
Modern electric power distribution systems have migrated from a passive, non-supervised structure with low level of automation to an active and supervised structure, with high level of automation due to the introduction of photovoltaic generators, smart meters, and new automatic control and reactive power compensation devices. In the case of photovoltaic generation, for example, the world…
One of the main protection functions of generators connected to electricity distribution networks is anti-islanding protection, which must disconnect them when the portion of the network where they are connected becomes isolated (islanded) from the utility grid. The increased penetration of distributed generation made the National System Operator (NSO) suggest the introduction of voltage …
Electrical power distribution networks are likely to experience in the next decade significant infrastructural changes due to the massive integration of low carbon technologies. The deployment of these devices, for instance, photovoltaic (PV) systems, are expected to be encouraged by governments in accordance to the Paris Agreement, signed by 195 countries, including Brazil, to reduce gre…

The electric power systems are one of the pivots to meet the need for decentralization and decarbonization of the economy; they are part of a transformation characterized, among other factors, by integrating utility and third-party owned Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). If, on the one hand, the DERs allow meeting this need, also representing new business opportunities; on the other ha…
The electrical power distribution systems have been subjected to a modernization process characterized, among other factors, by a higher level of monitoring and measurement. As such, the amount of installed smart meters is increasing worldwide. The global smart meter market was evaluated at US$ 21.13 billion in 2019, and, according to Allied Market Research, it is projected to grow at a C…
Electric power distribution systems have been submitted to major changes related to the integration of new technologies such as distributed generators, electric vehicles, energy storage systems, smart meters, and digital protection equipment. Currently, technological advances related to the digital protection equipment, such as high sampling rate and the capability of communication and re…
