Análise histórica das matrizes energéticas do Brasil e suas projeções.

Abstract

The emerging potential of Brazil, from a dynamic and productive economy, has demanded increasingly incisive studies about its energy matrices. From a historical survey, it is possible to make more precise and concise evaluations, in order to generate results that are more faithful and close to reality. The current energy situation in the country has inspired greater attention and care, since the matrix of the predominant electric energy, the water generation, has presented worrying data as the lack and the irregularity of the rains. A better evaluation and planning of the energy sector guarantees a better production and the appropriate use of the energy produced, given a prominent position occupied by Brazil regarding the options of resources and technologies capable of transforming this natural wealth into energy. The insertion of the alternative forms of energy generation allows a rearrangement of the Brazilian matrix, allowing it to become more independent of the hydro generation and to present more solutions to the use of the matrices that use as heat source the heat from the burning of fossil fuels. Although they are a high investment, in the long term the alternative sources of energy have returned their invested values in shorter periods, increasing the attractiveness of these investments and the interest in the development and expansion of researches in the area. The extension of the Brazilian territory, as well as its geographical location and its wide coastline, favor the use of wind turbines and photovoltaic panels, making their respective portions of the country's total energy generation have grown exponentially in recent years. During the CBT, there was the opportunity to learn about Brazil's energy potential and its sources of electricity generation.
