Eletrotec+EM Power South America Conference: Electrical infrastructure and energy management for buildings and industries in the spotlight

Press Release – Tuesday, July 30, 2024

São Paulo/Pforzheim, July 30, 2024: The Eletrotec+EM Power conference addresses electrical infrastructure and energy management for buildings and industries. The 2024 edition is structured around three main axes: updates on technical standards, protection against atmospheric discharges, and medium and low voltage installation topics. These are cross-cutting engineering themes that apply to photovoltaic systems as well as energy storage systems and to charging infrastructure for electric vehicles.

In the area of technical standardisation, members of ABNT study commissions present on the first day their work on standards that are under revision or in public consultation. Two recently completed draft standards are worth highlighting: the first on fire prevention for photovoltaic generators installed in buildings; the other deals with protection against electric arcs and the incident energy.

The second day is dedicated to protection against atmospheric discharges, a topic of paramount importance in Brazil, where 78 million lightning strikes occur every year, causing more than 800 deaths in the last decade. The lectures address topics such as the protection of photovoltaic systems, application and monitoring of surge protection devices, as well as grounding issues for photovoltaic plants.

The third day of the conference features four sessions on LV/MV installations, with an emphasis on the performance of building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems, a technology that is still in its infancy in Brazil but has immense potential. Other sessions deal with shock protection measures, adherence to labour safety regulations, as well as energy storage equipment maintenance issues, which are essential to ensure the reliability of these systems.

The conference was curated by Aranda in co-operation with the Mi Omega Institute.
