Sistema interligado nacional: análise das penalizações impostas às transmissoras com foco na aplicação da parcela variável

Abstract

The unique characteristics of electric energy as to its form of production, transportation, consumption and its importance to national development led to the development of management structures characterized by state intervention. The search for improved and efficient management models has led the national electricity sector to undergo several transformations. The current model comes from the transformation of a vertical structure where practically all the segments of the sector were public property. And it is characterized by branches of independent activities contemplating the production, transportation, distribution and commercialization of electric energy. In this context, the transmission system plays an important role, as it facilitates the optimization of the interconnections between the different energy sources, allowing the use of the generation resources installed throughout the national territory and the energy demands of the large consumer centers. In this system, the transmissions' revenue is made available monthly to the concessionaires through their respective base payments. As a way of monitoring and encouraging the quality of services, the regulatory agency established the application of penalties through normative resolutions. The objective of this work is to present the penalties imposed on the transmission system, focusing on the application of the Variable Parcel over their respective monthly payments. In order to meet this objective, it will be necessary to navigate to other areas related to the transmission system, among them: the guidelines involved in planning the expansion of the system, the procedures for accessing the network, the formation of the transmission systems' revenue, as well as the presentation of information that illustrates the current situation of this segment.
