Estratégias de Gerenciamento pelo Lado de Demanda aplicadas aos consumidores comerciais do Grupo A4 considerando a inserção de geração distribuída e análises tarifárias

Abstract

This Master’s Dissertation presents on the technical and financial impacts of the application of strategies Demand Side Management (DSM) in commercial consumers of the Group A4, considering the insertion of Distributed Generation (DG), analyzing the manageable loads and the tariff analysis of the Group A: Green and Blue. For the application of strategies DSM, the techniques of load displacement per hour used for peak reduction, with the objective of manipulating consumption during peak hours. With this, DG considered strategies of the DSM. As well as, the tariff analysis, to enable the application of the strategy DSM because it is a dynamic hourly tariff in the commercial consumer. As a simulation tool was used the Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewables software (HOMER). Which has as purpose the technical and economic analysis for the application of the strategies DSM in the commercial consumer, taking into consideration the insertion of the DG (using solar energy as a source of electricity generation, managing loads and having an energy storage system with batteries in it), as well as the tariff analysis. Mainly, it concluded in this work that the analysis of the electrical system on the commercial consumer, together with a planning of strategies DSM and insertion of DG, contributed to greater energy efficiency, as well as financial savings for the consumer and optimization of the electrical system. However, it is important to emphasize the importance of these new technologies, which are favored with the expansion of Intelligent Electric Networks (REI) and Distributed Generation.
