Wind And Solar Power Plant To Be Implemented In The Municipality Of Casa Nova, Bahia In 2021

The São Francisco Hydro Power Company (Chesf) announced on Friday that it will invest R$ 90.8 million (US$ 16.3 million / EUR 14 million) in the development of a hybrid project that combines wind, solar, and energy storage technologies.

Hybrid System Involving Wind And Solar Energy

Specifically, the Brazilian hydroelectric company is looking to develop an intelligent hybrid generation system with optimized performance and wind and solar energy production, says the Research Manager, Development And Innovation Consultancy (AEP) of Chef Jose Bione.

The wind and solar power plant will be installed in the municipality of Casa Nova, Bahia. It will consist of a wind power plant, which will operate under normal conditions, and a photovoltaic (PV) park with an integrated energy storage system.

About The São Francisco Hydro Power Company (Chesf)

The São Francisco Hydro Power Company (Chesf) is the largest electricity generator in the country and one of the most important companies in the Northeast. The São Francisco Hydro Power Company (Chesf) is the largest electricity generator in the country and one of the most important companies in the Northeast.

Based in Recife, the state-owned company is part of Eletrobras, the federal government, which also owns other companies in the electric sector, such as: Furnas, Eletronuclear, Eletronorte, Eletrosul, etc. Chesf generates electricity, transmits it through high-voltage transmission lines, and sells this essential good for the well-being of modern life.

The installed generation capacity of Chesf is 10.3 thousand megawatts (MW) of energy. The installed capacity is how much the company could generate if conditions were ideal. Generally, production is lower than installed capacity because to generate in its hydroelectric plants, Chesf uses the waters of the São Francisco.

In recent years, the company has decreased energy production to preserve water, primarily in the Sobradinho reservoir, in Bahia. For example, the Northeast consumes an average of more than 11 thousand average MW. The average MW is used to indicate consumption.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

The seemingly endless sand is disappearing: the world extracts 50 billion tons per year from rivers and beaches, a volume comparable to 19,000 pyramids of Giza, while mafias profit, islands disappear, and city concrete is threatened until 2050.

Scientists drill 8,000 feet of ice in Antarctica and race against time before the hole freezes over again to bury the world’s deepest seismometers and turn the South Pole into a giant ear for earthquakes across the entire planet.

Rice in space becomes a scientific bet for China to understand how microgravity can alter the genetics of the most important grain for Asian food security and reveal if future generations of the plant can be born, grow, and maintain their biological identity away from Earth.

How much would a Toyota Hilux cost without tax in Brazil? A diesel pickup truck priced at R$ 250,000 could drop to around R$ 127,000, showing why pickup trucks have become a luxury product in the country.

Windows without a prison-like appearance gain momentum in 2026 and promise to completely transform residential facades with more natural lighting, discreet security, increased property value, and a modern look without the burden of the old iron bars that dominated Brazilian homes for decades.
