Impactos socioambientais da energia solar fotovoltaica no município de Maceió-AL

Abstract

ABSTRACT

The use of photovoltaic solar energy has grown steadily – including in Brazil over the last five years – mainly as a result of the increasing demand for alternative energy sources and the increase in tariffs related to these consumer goods. Accordingly to this growth, the use of softwares to elaborate photovoltaic projects has also been widespread, since they guarantee several benefits, the main one being the increase in the efficiency of the photovoltaic system. The present study aims to demonstrate the step-by-step uses of the PVSyst and PVSol software, as well as to perform the comparison between both-based on a unit generation in operation – since nowadays, these are the most used computer programs for dimensioning photovoltaic Among several models currently existing, including the two studied, there are differences that can favor many types of installations. Therefore every single programming tools stands out in an area of activity. For example, PVSol in despite of the limited amount of photovoltaic modules for simulation, stands out from PVSyst for allowing the import of a 3D model of the generation system.
