Análise da utilização de sistemas fotovoltaicos conectados às redes elétricas em propriedades rurais.

Abstract

The present study aims to make a proposal and analysis of a photovoltaic system integrated to an efficient rural property. Photovoltaic systems are composed of solar panels capable of converting radiation from the Sun into accessible electrical energy. This energy can be used by the consumer or injected into the low-voltage power grid into a distributed generation concept. When analyzing the importance of agriculture and the electricity costs of a rural property, it is perceived the need to stimulate this economic activity. The implementation of a photovoltaic project aimed at reducing energy costs is shown and explored. It shows the importance of agribusiness in Brazil and the photovoltaic panorama, with an exposition of the concepts of the same. A case study is also carried out to analyze the economic viability of the implantation of the connected photovoltaic system in the electric network of a rural property, aiming to provide sustainable growth.
