Agreement between CCEE and Ministry of Mines and Energy provides for software and applications for the modernization of the electricity sector in Brazil
Published in the Official Gazette on Wednesday, April 20, the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) and the Chamber of Commercialization of Electric Energy (CCEE) closed an agreement that includes an investment of 33,6 million reais for carrying out studies and research in the electric energy segment in Brazil, an area that has attracted investors.
According to the Ministry of Mines and Energy, the agreement has plans to carry out four projects, which involve studies, consultations and technical work that will be aimed at increasing the monitoring capacity and domain in the area of the energy electricity from Brazil. Thus, these services will happen through the so-called Meta Project.
Get to know Project Meta
In this sense, according to the article by Wilian Miron for the virtual news vehicle Broadcast, the Meta Project depends on a loan from the Ministry of Mines and Energy with the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), with a total amount equivalent to to US$ 38 million in investments. This initiative reinforces the coordinating function of the Ministry of Mines and Energy, taking into account that the participants, such as the CCEE, do not disburse financial contributions and operate in conjunction with the MME so that the electric energy project takes place with the expected success throughout Brazil.

- Carrefour says it will have mass layoffs of MORE than 2 employees in Brazil and knows who is to blame for this
- Important highway (BR) will be renovated and selection to fill job vacancies on the project already has a start date
- Japan to cut working hours so workers can focus on having children
In addition, the Project aims to contribute to expanding and consolidating innovations in the electricity and mining sectors, encouraging competitiveness and sustainable economic development in Brazil, as well as the institutional modernization of these segments.
Denis Soares, the project coordinator, emphasizes the benefits of the agreement for the energy area. According to the coordinator, the project's studies will promote the technology in the Accounting and Settlement Systems of the Brazilian Electricity Sector, as well as the assessment of the formation of short-term electricity value.
Finally, the Ministry of Mines and Energy intends, through the union with the Chamber of Commercialization of Electric Energy, to create applications and software that increase the performance and incorporate the electric energy systems. In addition, the implementation of a simulator of calculations and analyzes about the functioning of the training procedures of professionals is also estimated. electricity bill values of Brazil.
US scientists have developed solar panels that generate energy at night
Scientists have discovered that it is possible to generate energy through solar panels and with the help of a photovoltaic cell during the night through the difference in temperature at dawn, when the air is colder. The research was carried out by scientists at Stanford University, in the United States.
Basically, solar energy is generated when the sun's energy is radiated to a solar panel with a lower temperature. Subsequently, the panel's solar cells, made with layers of an energy semiconductor material that generate a flow of electricity.
What differs from the solar panel created by the Stanford scientists is the presence of a device capable of incorporating a thermoelectric generator that extracts electricity from the difference in temperature between the environment and the panel's photovoltaic cell.
