Assessing two precipitation data sources at basins of special interest to hydropower production in Brazil

Abstract: Accurate estimates of precipitation amounts are necessary to evaluate river flows, assess water-related risks (floods and drought) and quantify water availability for a broad range of water uses, such as water supply, agriculture, navigation and energy production. Especially in the context of operations in the Brazilian electricity sector, where the electrical system is essentially hydrothermal and more than 65% of its production comes from hydroelectric generation, real-time observed precipitation plays a key… Show more

“…The automatic weather stations started operating in 2000 and presented many inconsistencies in the data, which were not used in this study. There are also several precipitation datasets from satellite and reanalysis data that were not considered in this work, due to discrepancies between the datasets regarding the variation in annual precipitation (Sun et al, 2018;Reis et al, 2020).…”
