Análise da viabilidade econômica para utilização de turbina eólica residencial em Maringá

Abstract

Electricity production using wind energy as an electricity source is attractive because of the reduced impact on the environment. The city of Maringá has a medium/high wind quality, being a favorable scenario for the implementation of a small wind generator, that is, installation of minigeneration or wind microgeneration systems. For this, it is necessary to analyze the economic feasibility and technical and environmental aspects related to the project. Recently, environmental concerns have arisen about the excessive use of electricity from non-renewable sources, thus, the purpose of this work is to economically evaluate the implementation of wind energy as a source of electrical energy in homes, contributing to the growth of its use and the environment. The methods used in this work are concepts of financial mathematics, such as Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and Capital Recovery Time (Payback), considering information regarding the household's electricity consumption, the tariff established by the distribution unit, the wind speed at the location, the costs and electricity production of three wind turbines, with different capacities. With this, it was possible to conclude that Wind Generator 2 is the most economically viable considering the average monthly consumption of Maringá, but that if the average consumer consumption is below average, Wind Generator 1 becomes more economically viable and if it is above average it is more viable wind turbine 3
