“…The TRCS is located in the southeast of Brazil and contains six reservoirs-Barra Bonita (BB, 22°31'S, 48°32'W), Bariri (BAR, 22° 9'S,48°44'W), Ibitinga (IBI, 21°45'S, 48°59'), Promissão (21°48' S, 49°23'W), Nova Avanhandava (NAV, 21°71'S, 50°12'W) and Três Irmãos (21°38'S, 51°32') ( Figure 1). Among them, BB, BAR, IBI and NAV reservoirs produce more than 90% of hydroelectric energy from the entire cascade (resulting in 763 MW [30]). BAR, IBI and NAV are run-of-river reservoirs, whereas BB is an accumulation reservoir [32].…”
