Rede de distribuição aérea: comparativo técnico e econômico entre a rede convencional e a compacta na região de abrangência de uma concessionária de energia

Abstract

This paper presents a technical and economical approach between the Conventional Aerial Distribution System (RDA) and the Protected Compact Aerial Distribution System (RDC). Since a big problem faced by the energy companies in order to improve the energy supply is the area conflict with the street’s trees, once besides offer a quality electrical distribution, it is necessary to take care of the environment by don’t doing excessive pruning. A solution to this problem is the implantation of the RDC, as it is less vulnerable than the RDA because it suffers less natural interferences and it has a more resistant structure than RDA since RDC’s conductors are protected. Thus, this paper has the intention to present the comparison between the RDA and RDC in various situations and show which one is better in each one of these situations. Therefore, some information about the cost to implantation, maintenance and even so the possibility of the replacement from one kind of system for the other were gathered. Once these information were known, a research about their behavior in diverse situations was made in order to compare the results acquired. Only this way, the advantages and disadvantages of RDA and RDC are possible to be presented. As their possible applications.
