Abstract: Brazil has 162.7GW capacity of power plants, 64% of which are from hydroelectric plants, mostly of them are large ones (60.4 greater than 30MW of installed capacity). The other plants are composed by wind (8.8), conventional thermal (24.8), nuclear (1.2), and photovoltaic (1.2) [1]. Due to its large rivers, Brazil has always had a tradition of building large hydroelectric, such as-Itaipu, Belo Monte, and Tucurui; respectively, the second, third and seventh plants in the ranking of the International Committee of Large Dams - ICOLD [2].
