Potencial de uso de microgeradores eólicos em unidades consumidoras de baixa tensão no município de Cascavel - Paraná

Abstract

Economic growth, increased demand for energy and the institution of government policies to value the environment and sustainability have contributed to the need to diversify the Brazilian energy matrix and this contributes to the search for clean and renewable energies. One of these energies comes from the wind and, in this sense, the present work proposes a study of the technical feasibility of installing small wind turbines. The methodology will analyze the categories of consumer units that can benefit from the energy produced by wind turbines with nominal powers of 1 kW, 2 kW and 3 kW in the distributed wind microgeneration system in the Municipality of Cascavel, Paraná. For this, a daily historical series of winds from the mesoregion from 2007 to 2017 will be used, at a height of 10 meters, provided by the Meteorological System of Paraná (SIMEPAR). The hourly probability of distribution of the Weibull winds was calculated and the electric energy production of the wind turbines was estimated. With these data, it will be possible to indicate the consumer units in tariff group B that may be served by each of the wind turbines depending on their daily consumption profile and their load factor. It is expected to conclude by categorizing the technical feasibility of wind microgeneration distributed in the studied municipality.
