Análise do uso de energia fotovoltaica na iluminação pública rodoviária no troҫo nó Zimpeto a Maracuene

Abstract

With the high demand for electricity in large urban centers, the need for construction and expansion of hydroelectric plants is on the agenda, even though it causes a great impact on the ecosystem. The advancement of technology allowed the discovery of photovoltaic energy, which are usually silicon plates that capture the sun's energy, a renewable and inexhaustible source of heat and light, and transform it into electrical energy. Based on data and research, this project carries out a study of the implementation of photovoltaic energy in public lighting, aiming at saving the Revimo concessionaire's coffers in terms of the monthly payment of consumed energy, as well as the reduction of maintenance costs, as it is a stable system that does not need much intervention. Over the years, in addition to ensuring optimal lighting in the section under study. This work analyzes the technical and economic feasibility and sustainability of urban public lighting installation projects using the photovoltaic (PV) energy system. First, a description of the state of the art of technology is carried out, studying the components involved in LED solar luminaires for application in public lighting and examples of autonomous photovoltaic systems installed in different countries. Subsequently, a case study is presented based on a public lighting installation project on the Nó de Zimpeto to Maracuene section.
