2016 Olympic Games

As coordinator of the 2016 Task Force, ONS,in 2015 reviewed and update studies and analysis to identify the necessary actions to ensure the supply of electric power to the host city of Rio de Janeiro and the additional soccer games host cities, Brasília, São Paulo, Belo Horizonte, Salvador and Manaus, observing different security standards, as the ones adopted at special events, in line with the provisions of Resolution CMSE 001/2005 and considering the criteria established by the International Olympic Committee - IOC .

These analysistake into account the works planned to be in operation in June 2016, as well as the consequences of delays, besides identifying the necessary actions, such as: additional thermal generation, energy constraints and adjustments and / or new SpecialProtection Systems (SEP) for Rio de Janeiro and additional soccer games host cities, so that they have their main loads preserved in adverse situations and to ensure differentiated performance in situations of double losses.

Upon the request of the Ministry of Mines and Energy, ONS elaborated the ONS RE-3-0057-2015 report - Strategic Installations for the 2016Olympic and Paralympic Games, which identifies the most relevant systemic installationsfor the supply of the Rio de Janeiro clusters, and the stadiums of thefiveadditionalsoccer games host cities. From the strategic installationslist, a criterion for prioritizing theMain Grid and distribution network installations was prepared.

A diagnosis on the 500 kV transmission trunk equipment and transmission lines of Rio de Janeiro Area was introduced to minimize the risk of incorrect and accidental actuations, or refusals,which may lead to major impact disturbances. An assessment of the Special Protection Systems (SEP) that was deployed in this trunk transmission started.

In addition, ONS started studies to review the fluent restoration procedures of Marimbondo corridors, Lajes Complex plants - Light and Luiz Carlos Barreto, as well as the procedures for the restoration of Belo Horizonte, Brasilia, Salvador and São Paulo. The studies aimed to ensure the quick and secure return of the priority loads such as: Olympic clusters, mass transportation (trains and subway), hospitals, among others, during the period of the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Additionally, t is noteworthy the attendance of the Brazilian Operator in meetings at the Ministry of Mines and Energy, with the Olympic Public Authority Energy Group (APO), to analyze the aspects regarding the energy supply for the Games.
