HERA Usage Training Courses
Customized support to meet clients' specific needs, addressing strategic and technical issues in the energy sector.
About
HERA is software that supports the development of generation and storage hydroelectric projects. It evaluates the hydroelectric potential of river basins, considering the economic viability of the projects, as well as their socio-environmental impacts. HERA contributes transparency and agility to the decision-making process of stakeholders, which is complex because it often involves conflicting interests, seeking to balance energy production with conservation.
What we do
Basic course
It is intended for companies that have acquired the model’s license and for public planning or educational institutions that wish to use it in their studies. Its objective is to transmit to the user notions about the concept of participatory inventory studies, general instructions on the model’s installation, in addition to training them for the insertion of basic data, application of the tools of the engineering module for conventional and pumped-storage hydroelectric plants, application of environmental assessment methodologies, optimization of fall partitioning alternatives, and participatory discussion of the results of the proposed exercises.
Advanced course
It is intended for users who are specialists in engineering studies of conventional and pumped-storage hydroelectric plants. Its objective is to prepare these users to make adaptations in the calculations for the sizing and budgeting of the plant’s components, including alterations to specific criteria (intersection with PSR’s R&D Area).
