Estudo de viabilidade da implementação de um sistema de geração solar fotovoltaica on-grid em uma indústria

Abstract

The Brazilian electric matrix is mostly composed of renewable energy sources, however, even with the growth of wind and solar generation, it is still extremely dependent on hydroelectric plants for the supply of electricity in the country. Large electricity consumers, especially industries, have the potential to contribute to the expansion of power generation, in view of the possibility of reducing their cost with the distributors. In this context, for the present work information was collected regarding the consumption of electricity in an industry in the city of Ipojuca for the development of an on-grid solar photovoltaic generation project. The various components of a project of this nature were studied, as well as the sizing and budgeting with a company of this specific segment. From the project sizing, a software simulation was performed in the chosen region, and added to the budget, the main indicators of technical and financial viability were obtained for the installation in the industry under analysis. Thus, the study shows the possibility of the existence of an industry with partially autonomous generation without major financial risks and that contributes to the expansion of the Brazilian electric matrix by using a renewable source.
