Desenvolvimento de bancada didática para sistema de energia solar fotovoltaico

Abstract

This proposes the study of photovoltaic solar energy generation and the development of a didactic workbench for a grid-connected model. The installation of small and medium-sized generating units is on the rise in countries in Europe, Asia and North America. The driving force behind this growth has been: incentive policies through attractive remuneration for surplus energy injected into the grid or attractive forms of investment financing. In Brazil the majority of energy production is provided by hydroelectric plants then the pressure for renewable production is lower. Considering the challenges brought by the long distance between hydropower plants and the final customer and the viability of mega-projects make distributed generation a realistic option to be considered. Photovoltaic energy is promising given the short return on investment, little maintenance compared to hydroelectric and thermoelectric plants and compatibility with the current distribution system. Throughout this work, a detailed model for the elaboration of the photovoltaic bench project will be designed demonstrating the necessary steps for its construction, taking into account the needs of reproducing scenarios found in the daily life of engineers and installers in the area.
