Estudo de viabilidade para a implantação de um sistema fotovoltaico conectado à rede em uma edificação comercial/educacional de Curitiba

Abstract

Photovoltaic solar energy is one of the renewable sources on the rise, due to advances in technology, reduced implementation costs and consolidation of legislation. In view of this scenario, it is important to carry out a correct feasibility study for the implementation of a photovoltaic system, in order to guarantee a correct investment and reach the expected financial return. This work presents the main concepts of renewable energies and components of photovoltaic systems. A case study was developed for an existing building for commercial and educational use, where the consumption history over the last few years was surveyed. Shading simulations of the building and its surroundings were carried out to make the best use of solar radiation. The main components and infrastructure for the photovoltaic generation system were dimensioned. The energy generated, the necessary investment, and the forecast of savings and financial return for the proposed project were estimated.
