Estudo de implementação de uma pequena central hidrelétrica para geração hídrica no rio Alegria

Abstract

The use of hydropower as the generation of electricity comes from antiquity. Over the years and with the development of technology, the consumption of this energy has increased considerably, requiring a source of energy from the energy sector. Brazil is a geographically privileged country, with mountains and plateaus and still not its formation of the main hydroelectric generators that its formation of rivers. Although the main source of generation is highlighted as large plants, hydroelectric plants - UHE, but small plants hydroelectric plants – PCH's, are also important for the exploitation of water resources in smaller cases, such as the Rio Alegria, located in the city of Medianeira. In this work, the study of the electrical potential of the Rio Alegria will be proposed for the installation of a PCH.
