AES Tietę and AES Uruguaiana spearhead development of Smart-Sen
To minimize the problems caused by the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources and improve the supply quality, AES Uruguaiana and AES Tietę, the generation businesses of AES Brazil, are leading a research and development (R&D) project called Smart-Sen. The project is a new mathematical model that identifies uncertainties of energy sources and correctly models the dispatch of such sources.
Optimizing the dispatch of system plants will be possible using this new model. As an example, the calculations will assess whether there are transmission restrictions at any point or when the wind energy generation at the region usually varies. The model enables the identification of where there are more transmission lines or energy conservation batteries.

Inventory and Supply Chain Optimization
At this year's 2015 APEX Global Awards, 17 projects were presented as examples of successful performance excellence efforts in the company. Our second place winners in the replication category are OPGC and AES San Nicolas for implementing Inventory and Supply Chain Optimization projects.
At OPGC in India, part of the Asia SBU, they were challenged by the availability of material specifications, duplicated materials and codes, and overstock of inventory. They improved their process by standardizing their naming and storage convention, capturing images of active terms and setting up of material specifications. By optimizing processes, they saved US $60K from duplicated items and reduced inventory by 2.5 percent with the potential to save US $390K in three years.
