“…Furthermore, the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency (ANEEL) has discussed changes in the tariff schemes to motivate price-based DR programs in Brazil [146]. Thus, Brazil could be considered as a good candidate for wider penetration of DR activities in the future within the Latin America region [147].…”

“… It attempts to foster the potential of Demand Response (DR) by increasing the electricity tariff and also minimize the differences between costs and revenues of the utilities. [25,51,52,61,64,65,94]  TFS would promote a reduction of thermal dispatch, an increase in the overall storage level and the reduction of the overall operating system cost.…”

The prospects for a smart power system have been widely discussed in the global electricity sector. Decarbonization, Digitalization and Decentralization are considered the main key drivers for this power system transition and Brazil is no exception to this universal trend. A search of the literature revealed few studies which attempt to address the main challenges and opportunities towards a smart grid power system in Brazil. This paper provides an up-to-date assessment of the present and potential capabilities of existing and future technologies, regulations and policies and attempts to identify how these elements are interrelated. Our findings add to a growing body of evidence suggesting that policies for Distributed Generation (DG), Demand-Side Management (DSM) and new tariff schemes 2 are on a path of accelerated deployment in the country. The deployment of storage technologies, however, is at a slow pace of growth. We highlight the need to further develop new business models to address the various decentralized energy technologies and services that are emerging in the sector.The current net-metering system is considered a key issue to be addressed as this regulatory structure may shift the costs from DG to non-DG users.

“…In this section, we discuss issues associated with the determination of the parameter kz -the proportionality 1 The rationale behind this statement is that decreases in peak loading potentially lead to the deferral of investments in network capacity (expansion costs) and to flatter load profiles that have relevant impacts on operation costs, such as those related to losses (due to their non-linear relationship with the loading of current-carrying facilities) or even supply interruptions (due to decreased electrical stress). However, it should be noted that the metric of peak reduction does not perfectly captures all relevant outcomes of a demand response program (and, more specifically, of ToU tariffs), as indicated in [5].…”

“…Recent technological advances have helped overcoming historical technological barriers to demand response, which partially explains the recent attention to the concept. This has been the case in Brazil, where opportunities associated with the development of the electrical network towards a smart grid, including all conditions necessary to stimulate demand response, have found their way into the agenda of power sector institutions -and a number of relevant actions have been set in motion by different agents since late 2009 [1].…”

In late 2011, the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency approved a new tariff structure for distribution services. This included the creation of the White Tariff, a time-of-use (ToU) tariff modality for retail consumers connected to lowvoltage distribution grids. Brazil is currently conducting an ambitions smart meter roll-out plan, and consumers will be able to opt for ToU tariffs in the coming years. In preparation for that, the regulator has started the definition of the economic signals embedded in ToU tariffs for several distribution utilities, at the occasion of their multi-annual Tariff Review processes. This has been done despite of the fact that virtually no countryspecific data on demand response to electricity prices is currently available, which brings additional difficulties to the process. In this paper, we discuss the design and implementation of ToU tariffs in Brazil, highlighting lessons learned so far and coming challenges, from an economic and regulatory perspective.
