The 9th Congress Latin American onElectricity Generation and Transmission Hotel Presidente Perón6th-9th November 2011, Mar del Plata, ArgentinaISBN - 978-85-64689-00-8
Introduction and Aims The growing demand for electric energy in the Latin-American countries requires a greater quality of service and efficiency in the area of techno-economic operation. This brings the constant need for improvement in the growth planning and the levels of the operation of the electric energy systems. The economic and technical aspects must be taken into consideration, as well as the environmental impact of implantation of new power plants and the need to introduce new technologies, control systems and safety measures. Gradually a process of integration among the Latin-American countries has emerged, as the electric energy needs are similar, including the generation facilities, for these countries. Considering the above mentioned points, UNESP - São Paulo State University (Brazil), Valparaiso Catholic University (Chile) and National University of Mar del Plata (Argentina) have joined forces in order to create a forum that permits a valuable exchange of experiences concerning the methodology for the analysis of operation, planning, and the introduction of new technologies that could contribute to the improvement of the electric energy generation and transmission systems. This has become a reality with the creation of these Latin-American congresses, which take place in the distinct cities of the Latin-American countries. The first congress took place on October, 1993 in Viña de Mar, Chile. The second congress took place in November, 1995 in Mar del Plata, Argentina. The third congress took place in No-vember, 1997 in Campos do Jordão, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The fourth congress took place in November, 2000 in Viña del Mar, Chile. The Fifth congress took place in November, 2003 in São Pedro City, State of São Paulo, Brazil. The Sixth congress in Mar del Plata City, Argentina, November 13 to November 17, 2005. The Seventh congress took place in Valparaiso City, Chile, October 22 to October 25, 2007. The VIII Congress was held in Ubatuba, SP Brazil, October 18 to October 22, 2009. The 9th Congress will be in Mar del Plata City, Argentina, November 06 to November 09, 2011.

Introduction and Aims
The growing demand for electric energy in the Latin-American countries requires a greater quality of
service and efficiency in the area of techno-economic operation. This brings the constant need for
improvement in the growth planning and the levels of the operation of the electric energy systems. The
economic and technical aspects must be taken into consideration, as well as the environmental impact of
implantation of new power plants and the need to introduce new technologies, control systems and safety
measures.
Gradually a process of integration among the Latin-American countries has emerged, as the electric
energy needs are similar, including the generation facilities, for these countries.
Considering the above mentioned points, UNESP - São Paulo State University (Brazil), Valparaiso
Catholic University (Chile) and National University of Mar del Plata (Argentina) have joined forces in order to
create a forum that permits a valuable exchange of experiences concerning the methodology for the analysis
of operation, planning, and the introduction of new technologies that could contribute to the improvement
of the electric energy generation and transmission systems. This has become a reality with the creation of
these Latin-American congresses, which take place in the distinct cities of the Latin-American countries.
The first congress took place on October, 1993 in Viña de Mar, Chile. The second congress took place
in November, 1995 in Mar del Plata, Argentina. The third congress took place in No-vember, 1997 in Campos
do Jordão, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The fourth congress took place in November, 2000 in Viña del
Mar, Chile. The Fifth congress took place in November, 2003 in São Pedro City, State of São Paulo, Brazil. The
Sixth congress in Mar del Plata City, Argentina, November 13 to November 17, 2005. The Seventh congress
took place in Valparaiso City, Chile, October 22 to October 25, 2007. The VIII Congress was held in Ubatuba,
SP Brazil, October 18 to October 22, 2009. The 9th Congress will be in Mar del Plata City, Argentina,
November 06 to November 09, 2011.
