Análise comparativa entre rede de distribuição aérea e subterrânea para condomínios e loteamentos

Abstract

One of the big questions today in energy distribution, is related to the reliability and power supply continuity, as these characteristics are fundamental for electric companies and final consumers. Therefore, new techniques and technologies have been developed and applied, which provide a reduction in rates, in addition to reducing costs and increasing security. Despite this, distribution in Brazil continues to have interruption rates, much higher than in other countries, such as Japan and Germany, one of the possible explanations for this, is that the underground distribution network must be used. The underground network is not exposed to natural weather, in addition to preventing non-technical losses from theft and fraud, and presenting a better aesthetic issue, greater security and less impact on the environment. On the other hand, this type of distribution network still presents a high cost, when compared to an aerial network. This work, presents a comparative study between projects, using the aerial and underground network in condominiums, will show the strengths and weaknesses and cost-effectiveness.
