Efeitos do dimensionamento de um sistema fotovoltaico sobre a geração de energia elétrica em uma unidade consumidora no estado do Paraná

Abstract

The use of renewable energy has grown exponentially in recent years, directly linked to the population's awareness of cleaner energy and also the cost of energy. In this environment, photovoltaic solar energy emerges as the preferred by consumers, due to its cost and installation time being relatively smaller and more accessible compared to other renewable sources. The objective of this work is to analyze and maximize the generation of an on grid photovoltaic plant with 17.5 kWp, comparing the efficiency of the system with its theoretical estimate and with a design of ideal parameters of rotation and inclination for the latitude in which it is located installed. The object of study contains thirty-five photovoltaic modules and two inverters and is located on a rural property in the city of Diamante D' Oeste, in the interior of the state of Paraná. Computer simulations were carried out to estimate the energy production in a real scenario and also in an ideal scenario, making corrections for the positioning of the modules. From the results obtained, it is concluded that it is possible to increase the efficiency of the generating plant when working with the ideal values for inclination and rotation of the photovoltaic modules, with an estimated gain of 5.39%. Still, it is suggested to continue the research with detailed studies of the cost for carrying out these changes in order to analyze the economic viability of its implementation.
