The objective of the this study is to present an alternative approach to the current methodology implemented by Aneel for estimating efficiency of the distribution sector of electric energy in Brazil. For this purpose, Bayesian inference is applied in order to estimate a stochastic cost frontier...

This paper applies the dynamic linear model (DLM) estimated based on the Bayesian approach to project electricity consumption for five Brazilian regional units. The appeal for the use of DLM in the case of energy consumption is due to the fact that in this model the adjustment occurs in the unit...

This study aims to analyze the distributional effects of carbon pricing in Brazil. The subject has gained importance with initiatives such as the PMR Brazil Project and RenovaBio, but discussions have been limited to the possible loss of competitiveness of national products. Thus, scenarios...

Among the aspects related to the quality of electric power supply, continuity stands out, evaluated based on the DEC and FEC indicators that express, respectively, the duration and frequency of supply interruptions. Regarding the continuity of supply, this study aims to present an alternative...

Wind power generation is essential to reduce the use of fossil resources and, consequently, the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG). Currently, the National Interconnected System (SIN) has about 9971 wind turbines in operation, the sixth largest network in the world ranking, and 80% of Brazilian...

This study has as main objective to investigate if the energy markets liberalisation, in particular natural gas and electricity, contribute to the energetic transition, led by climate change mitigation policies. More specifically, this study attempts to classify the efficiency degree associated...
