Development of studies and analyzes on the Brazilian energy sector, as well as all economic theory related to market regulation. Additionally, in this research area, models are developed to forecast both energy demand and supply.
The main feature of this research is to use an integrated framework (climate, land, energy, water and the CLEW model) for evaluating energy programs. The goal is to assess the availability of resources such as land and water, and the impact on them, instead of just looking at energy.
Analysis of the impact of the insertion of renewable sources in the operation and planning of the electricity sector, considering aspects related to the intermittency of wind and solar generation. The focus of this line of research is also the analysis of the diffusion of distributed energy resources.
