Estudo de viabilidade econômica para a implantação de uma fonte de energia renovável em uma unidade consumidora de grande porte

Abstract

Distributed generation of electrical energy has an energy generation concept along or next to the consumer. Thus, distributed generation minimizes the use of electric power transmission networks (required for large generating stations) and brings improvements to the power distribution networks, such as the reduction of ohmic losses. To make distributed generation is possible, it is necessary to use of alternative energy sources with installation capacity close to consumers, such as the generation and energy through wind turbines or photovoltaic panels. Since the year 2012, the Brazilian Government launched the resolution 482/2012 with specific standards so that consumers of electricity can generate their own energy, or deliver it to the distribution network, using mini or micro generation. In this context, the present study aims to develop a financial economic feasibility study for the installation of an alternative source of renewable energy in a large consumer, as a form of distributed generation of electricity. To achieve this goal, first are studies of consumer (consumer analysis and load-lifting), evaluation of energy production capacity of the fonts used, followed by a cost analysis for investment from the necessary information acquired, you can calculate the time to return on investment and, consequently, its economic viability through the calculation of the cost of each kWh produced. In conclusion, Academic contribution, the present work of conclusion of course presents the steps of the procedures necessary for a consumer to develop an analysis of investment for implementation of an electric power generating plant applied in distributed generation.
