Microgeração residencial: um estudo de caso para um sistema fotovoltaico em Belo Horizonte – MG

Abstract

The production of electricity through small-scale facilities, known as microgeneration, presents a strong potential for the reduction of the current energy bill and, at the same time, contributes to the reduction of gases that cause the greenhouse effect. Since April 17, 2012, when ANEEL Normative Resolution 482/2012 came into force, the Brazilian consumer can generate its own electricity from renewable sources or qualified cogeneration and even supply the surplus to the distribution network of its locality. These are micro and distributed minigeneration of electric energy, innovations that combine financial economy, social-environmental awareness and self-sustainability. The present work aims to present the current technologies for the implantation of microgeneration in the residential sector, being these technologies of Microturbines, Micro Hydropower Plants, Photovoltaic Solar Panels and Small Wind Turbines. We will also present a case study of a photovoltaic solar plant located in a residence in the city of Belo Horizonte.
