Estudo de caso: análise da viabilidade da implantação de um micro aerogerador no campus Ecoville da UTFPR Curitiba

Abstract

The world’s trend of energy increasing demand implies the need to diversify the energy matrix and environmental issues lead to the search for renewable generation sources. With that in mind, the present work proposes the possibility of installing a micro wind turbine at the Ecoville campus of the Federal University of Technology - Paraná, aiming the feasibility study in all its aspects. The equipment’s and the possible implantation location’s data were collected and the wind potential for the core analysis of the work was estimated, considering the particularity of each approached microturbine in the calculations, not only using generic equations to obtain this potential. The economic feasibility analysis calculations are demonstrated and it was verified that the possible installation of the micro aerogenerator is very socially accepted, relatively easy to acquire and is a good generation option without harming the environment.
