Potencial de geração de energia fotovoltaica e implantação de microrredes na área rural do município de Cascavel utilizando geotecnologias

Abstract

The model of distributed generation energy through renewable sources is currently seen as a solution to increase demand, which limits economic and technological development. However, the buoyancy in the renewable sources’ generation hinders the management of distribution flow in the network by the concessionaires. Thereby, the determination of the generation potential, as well as the search for methods of control of the energy introduced in the network, is fundamentally important to the expansion of this system in relation to the conventional model of centralized generation. The use of geotechnologies facilitates this estimation, since it allows the analysis of spatial characteristics of places of interest and their specifications, such as incident radiation, available area, among others, with precision, agility, and low cost, in relation to field measurements. Thus, this work aimed to identify the potential of photovoltaic solar energy generation in the rural area of the municipality of Cascavel, based on the useful areas available, and the losses inherent to the system, from aviaries and pigpens. Averages for annual potential of 9.36 MWh/month for piglets and 17.61 MWh/month for aviaries were verified; with average power surplus of 8.56 MWh/month and 14.71 MWh/month for piglets and aviaries, respectively. The points with the greatest potential of energy generation in the rural perimeter of the municipality were also identified, to serve as an indicator of propitious areas for feasibility studies aiming for the implantation of intelligent micro grids in the region.
