Sistema de microgrid com geração de energia autossustentável para estações do transporte público de Curitiba

Abstract

The current scenario of global energy transition and advancement demands sustainable development, putting pressure on global markets to implement systems that are based on renewable energies. Despite the high representation of sustainable alternatives in the Brazilian energy matrix, the principles of sustainability must be disseminated in all sectors of society, seeking sócio-environmental development and the population’s quality of life. In view of this, this research proposes an energetically self-sustaining bus station in the city of Curitiba, capital of the state of Paraná. In addition to careful reading, we sought to conceptualize the different sources of renewable energy, analyzing them and pointing out which technologies, available on the market, are best suited to the system under study. Through the research, it was decided to use photovoltaic generation connected to the grid. A project proposal for the Santa Bernadethe Bus Station is designed and calculated. In view of the developed project, is analyzed the economic and financial viability of the study. The gridconnected photovoltaic system is profitable over time, and its implementation consolidates the symbol of the country’s ecological capital, as well as its sustainable development.
