“Integration of renewable energies and regional interconnections in South America” is the name of the International Workshop held on September 5 and 6 at ECLAC, organized by SERC Chile, the National Electric Coordinator, the Corfo Solar Committee, and sponsored by the Ministry of Energy. The meeting was attended by experts from nine countries and international organizations, including the Minister of Energy, Susana Jiménez; Jeannette Sánchez, representative of ECLAC; Daniel Salazar, from the National Electric Coordinator; Patricio Espinoza, from CONICYT; Professor Christian Rehtanz, representative of the German scientific delegation; Rodrigo Mancilla, from the Corfo Solar Committee, and Professor Hugh Rudnick, member of the Strategic Research Committee of SERC Chile, who also served as moderator for the first block of the seminar.
In the inaugural panel, Minister Jiménez spoke about progress in energy integration with neighboring countries, while expressing Chile's will to move forward “in interconnection within our South American region, thus reversing the reality of being the least interconnected area in the world. The strengthening of our national power system will allow us in the future to open the door to the Andean regional market through the Andean Electrical Interconnection System, SINEA, which unites our Ministries of Energy of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Chile, as well as Bolivia, as an observer.”
During the two days of the workshop—involving ministries, power system operators, researchers, and leading professionals from Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay, and Chile—the experience of energy integration in Europe was reviewed, particularly the case of Germany, presented by speakers such as Albert Moser from RWTH Aachen; Christoph Weber from the University of Duisburg-Essen; Christian Rehtanz from the Technical University of Dortmund; and Ludger Eltrop from the University of Stuttgart.
The workshop was a dialogue on the importance of flexibility and resilience in future energy systems, analyzing how technologies such as storage, demand side management (DSM), and hydroelectric energy can contribute to this.
