Contributions for the Rules for the organisation and functioning of the National Electric System 03/12/2021
The Ministry of Environment and Climate Action has recently promoted an open consultation for the Rules for the organisation and functioning of the National Electric System, at ConsultaLEX Platform, from November 10th until November 24th 2021. Among 164 comments, Diana Vieira Fernandes and Carlos Silva, researchers at the Laboratory of Industrial Ecology and Sustainability at IN+, submitted some contributions, in particular in the coordinated management of the electrical infrastructure and in the digitalization of infrastructures, namely in new services and actors so that there is a greater use of data and intelligence in the management and operation of networks.
Although considering many positive aspects in the proposal, the researchers consider that the document could benefit from a better construction, definition and prediction of the regime, functions and actors for the effective digitization and intelligence of networks, as well as a better clarification of the figure “integrated operator of the distribution network” with the remaining regulations.
