Estudo do planejamento de energia elétrica para a cidade de Curitiba no horizonte 2050

Abstract

Due to the national electrical being mainly hydraulic, and with the difficulties presented on the expansion of these sources due to the enviromental and social impacts, it turns necessary the use of other sources of electrical energy, specially the ones that come from renewable sources of energy, highlighting the biomass, Wind power and photovoltaic solar. Due to this scenario, the goal of this work is to analyze the long term scenarios shown in the reports of the Ministery of Mines and Energy that show the estimate of electrical energy generation by type of source in Brazil. From this information, and with the data of the usage of electrical energy presented by the Paranaense Institute of Social and Economic Development, the projections for the usage of electrical energy of the state of Paraná with focus on the city of Curitiba on the horizon of 2050 were made. The results show tendency of use of other sources of energy, specially in photovoltaic solar, which the developed researches show an extreme potential existing on Paraná State and in Curitiba.
