A new peer-revied paper  "A Brazilian perspective of power systems integration using OSeMOSYS SAMBA – South America Model Base – and the bargaining power of neighbouring countries: A cooperative games approach" by De Moura et al. has been published. It is based on the outcomes of analysis performed using the OSeMOSYS South America Model Base (SAMBA). It focuses on assessing the pros and cons of power systems interconnections in between Brazil and the neighbouring countries. Three scenarios are investigated: the reference scenario (based on expansion plans and power interconnections projected by governments), the Integration Trade scenario (adding strategic hydro projects and related transmission lines strategic for Brazil to the reference scenario), and the Alternative Trade scenario (adding few parameters on renewables in Brazil to the reference). The model outcomes contribute to estimating the renewable generation potential for the region. Moreover, a cooperative game approach applying the Shapley value concept was used in better understanding the bargaining power of the interconnected countries.
