The Northeast Has a Total of 9,163MW in Distributed Wind Energy Generation

The Northeast region recorded a new record in distributed wind energy generation, totaling 9,163MW on average, during the night of last Saturday (28), claims the National Electric System Operator (ONS). According to the ONS , this amount is more than enough to supply wind energy for about 86.6% of the electricity demand of all the states that make up the Northeast region.

As far as it is known, the distributed wind energy generation target reached for the source in the Northeast region occurred on August 7, when more than 9,000 MW on average was recorded. Distributed wind energy generation has been monitored by the National Electric System Operator (ONS) since 2006, currently representing about 9.5% of Brazil’s entire electricity matrix.

The month of August was marked by record registrations in the distributed wind energy generation in Northeast Brazil. On August 6, ONS reached over 71% in the distributed wind energy generation index, about 9,049 MW on average, an index that would be sufficient to supply energy for more than 94% of the electricity demand of the entire Northeast region, according to ONS data.

Record Celebrated Due to High Availability of Wind Turbines

Thanks to the wind turbines and the planning that allocates maintenance downtimes, this performance can be celebrated. In addition to the team, the power plants also benefit from 24-hour supervision by the Generation Operation Center, located in Florianópolis (SC), where the company’s headquarters is situated.

Record Celebrated Due to High Availability of Wind Turbines

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.

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.

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.

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.

James Webb finds a deformed lemon-shaped planet orbiting a dead star, with an atmosphere of helium and carbon, soot and carbon clouds that could turn into diamond in the depths; composition defies everything scientists expected from a Jupiter-sized world.

The James Webb telescope detected the climate of a planet 280 light-years from Earth, with days hot enough to forge iron and nights covered by dense clouds, where winds reach 8,000 km/h.

China is equipping a scientific base in the heart of Antarctica with solar, wind, hydrogen, and battery power to operate even during the polar night in the Ross Sea.

A British company installed Japan’s first megawatt-scale tidal turbine under the Naru Strait, generating clean electricity from the predictable force of the tides, without relying on wind or sun.

End of bricklayers laying brick by brick: compact robots use AI, carry bricks and mortar, pass through doors, work in teams, and are already building real facades in Europe.
