Análise da inserção de recursos energéticos distribuídos em redes de distribuição de energia elétrica

Abstract

This thesis aims to evaluate the impact of integrating active elements into electric power distribution systems. The analysis was conducted using the OpenDSS software, simulating different scenarios that included photovoltaic generation, wind generation, electric vehicles, and battery banks. The methodology involved modeling distinct scenarios, applying load profiles, and assessing energy losses and voltage variations over a 24-hour period. The results indicated a significant reduction in losses and an improvement in voltage levels with the inclusion of photovoltaic sources, wind sources, battery banks, and electric vehicles, especially during peak hours. It is concluded that the integration of distributed energy resources can enhance the energy efficiency of the system, provided that it is done with proper planning to avoid voltage issues. This study contributes to the understanding of the benefits and challenges associated with incorporating renewable energies into distribution systems.
