Gestão de energia no segmento empresarial: a geração distribuída comparada as opções contratuais de suprimento

Abstract

Electricity is a resource with large impact on development and of industries, so trying to avoid deliberate variations in tariffs of the national electricity market, companies with high consumption have been looking for alternatives to reduce energy costs. The present work aims to show two alternatives for energy supply in an attempt to minimize the oscillations of the energy bill that the Regulated Contracting Environment (ACR) has. One of them is through the migration to the Free Contracting Environment, where price, terms and contracts are negotiated directly with energy traders and distributors, bringing the power of decision and budget forecasting to consumers participating in the Free Market of Energy (MLE). Another supply alternative is the inclusion of a Distributed Generation (DG) system. In this work, the photovoltaic energy source will be considered. With great potential to be explored, this type of generation is growing a lot in the country, becoming one of the most sought after renewable energy sources for energy supply in residential, commercial and industrial loads, which leads to the search for technological and regulatory innovations. By the end, it is aimed to show, through studies and economic viability and financial return analysis which of the supply alternatives addressed is the best option.
