Projects
GREI's applied research projects, ongoing and completed. Each with its team, funding and published results.
STOP — Power System Operation and Protection Training Simulator
A simulation platform for substation and transmission/distribution operation and protection training, built on interactive single-line diagrams — like a game.
Rede Verdes
Grid integration of large-scale green hydrogen production from photovoltaic and wind plants, part of Ceará's Renewable Energy Research and Innovation Network.
Virtual Reality Substation Laboratory (VRSL)
A faithful 3D simulation of the substation that powers UFC's Pici Campus, built to teach protection, automation and substation operation hands-on — like a game.
LOCALIZA
Fault location using traveling waves on distribution networks.
QUALINET
Harmonics and voltage-sag monitoring with our own low-cost meters.
V2G CEARÁ
Bidirectional electric-vehicle charger as a grid resource.
PICI MICROGRID
A real microgrid on the Pici campus: solar, batteries and hierarchical control with intentional islanding.
SiC 25k
Silicon-carbide inverter for photovoltaic connection, developed with industry.
PROTEGE
Adaptive protection coordination for distribution feeders with high distributed-generation penetration.
Smart Campus Microgrids
Smart energy management integrating renewable sources and automation on campus.
