This article presents a proposal for an electric measurement system for fuel tanks in thermoelectric plants, replacing the traditional manual method that shows inaccuracies. The proposed technology aims to enhance the logistics of fuel supply—critical for thermoelectric plant operation—through an automated system using capacitive probes, offering greater precision, reliability, and continuous monitoring of fuel levels.

Synchronous generators undergo frequent start-stop cycles due to maintenance or external factors, causing thermal variations that affect stator insulation. This study, conducted at the Balbina hydroelectric plant in Amazonas, Brazil, examines insulation aging trends in stators through partial discharge testing. Results indicate that continuous operation increases the generators’ lifespan.
