Projeto de sistema de proteção para uma minigeração fotovoltaica com potência-pico de 1MW – 34,5 KV conectada à concessionária de distribuição Copel

Abstract

Solar plants play an increasingly significant role in the energy distribution sector, providing clean, renewable energy around the world. With the growth of new generations focused on distribution, it is necessary to implement protection systems to guarantee the quality of energy delivered to the consumer. Without an adequate protection system, disturbances in energy delivery may occur, compromising service reliability. Therefore, it is crucial to address the topic of protection systems, as they can ensure the reliable and safe performance of solar plants. It is essential to implement adequate electrical protection systems. With this in mind, this course conclusion work addresses the importance of protection systems, with the objective of designing a system for a photovoltaic minigeneration unit with a power of 1 megawatt (MW) and a voltage of 34.5 kilovolts (kV), located in the Paraná region. To develop this project, it will be necessary to gather all the information on the technical standards of the local concessionaire and the requirements of the regulations of the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL). Based on this information, it was possible to design an appropriate protection system. Therefore, the development of this project demonstrates the feasibility and importance of established standards and regulations, as well as the adoption of protective practices, ensuring the safety and reliability of the electrical system.
