An Opportunity to Innovate in Strategic Issues of Electric Energy in Brazil

The National Electric System Operator (ONS) launches InovAberta, a pioneering initiative aimed at bringing together innovative startups and large corporations to develop creative solutions for the Brazilian electric sector. Applications will be open from March 13 to April 7, exclusively through the official program portal, seeking to attract proposals capable of significantly contributing to the improvement and modernization of operational procedures in the sector.

An Ecosystem of Innovation in Energy

This open innovation program aims not only to solve immediate challenges but also to foster a collaborative ecosystem that can sustain the continuous development and evolution of the national electric sector. InovAberta represents a unique opportunity for startups to demonstrate their potential in solving complex problems by creating Proofs of Concept (PoCs) in key areas identified by the ONS.

Strategic Challenges Ahead

Participants will face meticulously selected challenges, ranging from estimating plant maintenance rates for prospective studies to representing the impacts of electric vehicles on energy demand. The program seeks innovative solutions in five main areas: plant maintenance, equipment model validation, electrical single-line diagrams, transmission charge settlement, and the growing role of electric vehicles. Each challenge has been designed to extract the maximum creativity and effectiveness from startups, driving them to develop unprecedented and highly effective approaches.

The Central Role of ONS in Energy Innovation

InovAberta is a critical component of ONS Inova, a comprehensive program aimed at fostering an active innovation environment, supporting the ONS in adapting to the rapid changes in the national and global energy landscape. Under the leadership of Marcelo Prais, Director of IT, Agent Relations, and Regulatory Affairs, the ONS seeks to develop solutions that not only meet current needs but also anticipate the future challenges of a constantly evolving sector.

The ONS plays a vital role in coordinating and controlling the generation and transmission operations of electric energy in Brazil, ensuring the efficiency and safety of the National Interconnected System (SIN). With an energy matrix that is a global reference in sustainability, Brazil continues to lead in the use of renewable sources, and initiatives like InovAberta are essential to maintain this leadership, promoting innovation and sustainability throughout the sector.

InovAberta promises to be a milestone in the interaction between startups, large companies, and the ONS, offering an unprecedented platform for exploring new ideas and solutions that can solidify the sustainable future of the Brazilian electric sector.

The Central Role of ONS in Energy Innovation

Cambodia has started digging a nearly 180-kilometer canal to connect the Mekong River directly to the sea and reduce its dependence on the ports of neighboring Vietnam.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

China has put millions of electric cars on the roads, but now faces the side effect: more than 1 million tons of batteries are expected to go out of use per year by 2030, while the government expands tracking and combats illegal dismantling with environmental risks.

An Indonesian fisherman pulls a mysterious object from the sea and discovers that it is a Chinese underwater monitoring system, part of the so-called Underwater Great Wall that Beijing uses to track submarines and unmanned vehicles in strategic straits of the region.

The end of Nokia: the brand that was the cellphone of an entire generation has ended its smartphones, left Brazil, and today survives only in basic phones in India while seeking a new partner.

The rice fields dried up immediately after planting in Japan, and the reason was not a lack of rain: thieves stole copper and brass from a pumping station, halted the water coming from the Tone River, and left farmers furious during the critical phase of the harvest.

Forget the common asphalt in Brazil: highway is paved with recycled plastic for the first time, incorporating more than 87,000 PET bottles in a technology that could transform roads across the country and potentially retire petroleum from pavement composition for good.

FedEx transforms Memphis into an air parcel city: a superhub of 940 acres, 171 airplane gates, 84 miles of conveyor belts, and up to 484,000 packages per hour drive the most frenetic logistics heart in the U.S.

As the world opens its eyes to PIX invented in Brazil, Eduardo Bolsonaro joins the USA and suggests replacing the system used by more than 170 million Brazilians; Trump accuses PIX of harming giants like Visa and Mastercard.

Costing less than a Sentra and as an alternative to the Toyota Corolla: with a 2.0 engine of up to 155 hp, fuel efficiency of up to 13 km/l on the highway, CVT transmission, and 525 liters of trunk space, this sedan surprises with its space, comfort, and reliability: meet the Honda Civic EX 2020.

With an economical engine capable of running more than 60 km with just 1 liter, the Honda Biz 125 surpasses the Pop 110i, Bros 160, and PCX 160, skyrockets in sales, secures the national runner-up position, and leaves rivals behind; check out the Top 10.

Surprising study by Scatec reveals that recycling solar panels in Brazil can return R$ 3.18 for every R$ 1 invested, transforming photovoltaic energy waste into a new source of economic value and strengthening the circular economy in the sector.

Hyundai sells an executive minivan that looks like a VIP room on wheels: Custin carries 7 people, uses a 1.5 turbo engine with 168 hp, 8-speed automatic transmission, and costs around R$ 157,000 in direct conversion in Vietnam.

The 7-seater Toyota that seems too cheap to exist in Brazil: Rush has a 1.5 engine, manual or automatic option, and a converted price close to R$ 81,000, while here families need to aim for much more expensive SUVs.
