Projeto e análise da viabilidade econômica da instalação de painéis fotovoltaicos isolados em módulos florestais.

Abstract

The recent decrease in costs for the implementation of solar generation, Brazil becomes the country one of the most attractive places to use photovoltaic technology. Within the state of Maranh o, there is the difficulty of access to the basic electricity grid in rural areas and with this, the search for alternative forms of electric energy is essential for the use of mechanical and electrical resources in these places and, consequently, of automated activities that seek improvement and continuous profit. The forest modules used as a basis for this work are the Suzano Pulp and Paper modules that serve as support for eucalyptus harvesting in farms in the interior of Maranh o and Par . Forest modules are considered the primordial part of the Eucalyptus harvest in question of the essential raw material for the production of pulp from one of the largest pulp producers and exporters of pulp in Brazil. It is a support base for all the staff that performs the cutting, harvesting and transportation of Eucalyptus to the Factory located in the city of Imperatriz - MA. Located in remote places where there is no access to the electricity grid, they need electricity for lighting and use of support equipment and with this, the use of diesel generators is used to generate electricity through outsourced contracts. Aiming to obtain the profit has the proposal of primary energy supply using two alternatives: solar generation or diesel generation (already existing). As a way of measuring the feasibility of the project, economic viability indicators were used that were very widespread in the business sector, such as Payback.
