Sistema fotovoltaico de geração elétrica na Universidade da Integração Internacional da Lusofonia Afro-brasileira – UNILAB, Campus dos Malês

Abstract

The diversification of the Brazilian energy matrix, it only makes sense to invest proportionally in all renewable sources of alternative energy available. In 2014, the National Energy Matrix had a concentration of 60% in the use of hydraulic generation, indicating therefore heavily dependent on investment from large engineering works necessary for the construction of hydroelectric plants. For its generation characteristics, production of solar energy from photovoltaic panels, does not necessarily imply such high investments, as in the case of distributed generation, the generation can occur in the same environment of consumption. The realization that the institutions of federal public higher education can be a network of high penetration in Brazil, under a strategic look at the energy policies of distributed microgeneration, should be considered as a key element for both the use of solar energy from the photovoltaic generation, as the generator contribution that all these institutions can offer to the national grid. Add to this the need to increase the participation of photovoltaic generation in the Brazilian energy matrix, taking advantage of the great potential of irradiation indicated in the country versus the reduced use of thermal power plants due to its polluting nature and high cost both economic and environmental generation . Proposition energy use with photovoltaic generation taking as generators federal public higher education institutions at the national level will contribute to Brazil's energy policy. The results in the analyzes made at the University of International Integration Lusophone African-Brazilian, the first to incorporate the concept of back-up cell, show that the implementation of a solar generation system with photovoltaic technology able to supply you can demand and the load surplus be injected into the system. He noted it is therefore an average payback of 7.9 years with a total savings of one million four hundred thousand reais on average. The University of International Integration Lusophone African-Brazilian is the institution at the forefront of academic centers of federal higher education and to the national electricity system, promote the application of the concept of back-up cell.
