Geração distribuída de energia solar fotovoltaica no Estado da Paraíba: estudo da eficiência energética de projetos em operação.

Abstract

Photovoltaic solar energy presents itself as a promising alternative for the popularization of distributed generation in Brazil. At the same time, interest in reducing losses and eliminating energy waste, in other words, concern for energy efficiency is growing. In this context, a general study of the energy efficiency of distributed photovoltaic generation systems connected to the distribution networks of Paraíba state was carried out. The work began with the collection of information necessary for the construction of the current panorama of the solar generation distributed in this state, made available by the distributors Energisa Paraíba and Energisa Borborema. Then, the organization and the processing of these data were done in order to elaborate the scenario of interest of this study. Subsequently, in order to qualify these systems for their efficiency, the performance parameters defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) were calculated.
