Energia fotovoltaica: estudo de caso de uma fábrica.

Abstract

With the increase in electricity consumption, due to economic development, population growth and technological development, there is necessity of to diversify the energy matrix and, consequently, to evaluate new renewable sources. Solar energy appears as a complementary alternative to the Brazilian energy matrix, as it is economically viable, easy to purchase and install, guaranteed return of investment, property appreciation, long-lasting generator system and also due to Brazil, especially the Northeast region, have great potential for harnessing solar energy. The work developed shows all the methodology to carry out a photovoltaic project connected to the grid, analyzing the equipment used, generating electricity from the projected system, as well as the standards that guide the design phase. The photovoltaic system consists of 108 modules with a power of 355 kWp each, totaling 38,34 kWp and an inverter with a nominal power of 36 kW. An economic feasibility study is presented at the end of the work, where it is concluded that the presented project is technically and economically viable.
