Construção, avaliação do desempenho e análise econômica de um estacionamento fotovoltaico de 4,24 kWP no Campus II da UFGD

Abstract

In this paper will be discussed several advantages and advances of photovoltaic systems connected to the electricity grid considering their main restraint that prevent the further development of this energy source in the country and the achivied incentives in the last years. A photovoltaic system with a power of 4.24 kWp installed at the Federal University of Grande Dourados (UFGD) will be presented as coverage of a parking lot, with parking spaces for two cars. For the structural calculation of the support element of the photovoltaic system, the STRAP Software was used. The costs of installation and acquisition of the components of the system and the costs of building the structure used as support for the photovoltaic modules will be presented, with the purpose of performing the financial and energy analysis of the system, which was done through theoretical calculations and computational simulation, by PVSol software. Furthermore, it also has the purpose of obtaining an estimate of the electric power production, comparing it with the actual generation during a certain monitoring period. In addition to this, a previously study was carried out for the installation in a residence, with power similar to that of the Parking lot, changing the value of the investment and the tariff for the Residential modality.
