Wildfires is one of the main causes of blackouts in Brazil. To monitor the thousands of Brazilian Transmission Lines (TLs), ANEEL created the GGT System, which consists of a tool that uses Artificial Intelligence and satellite images processing to preventively inspect the maintenance of TLs against wildfires. With the GGT System, there was a 89% reduction in shutdowns caused by wildfires, representing a great improvement in the reliability of the electricity offered to the Brazilian population.
