Planejamento integrado de recursos e redes inteligentes: uma alternativa de sustentabilidade para a propriedade rural

Abstract

Conceived in more developed countries where the customer energy consumer plays an importante role in the management of electricity, Intelligent Networks or Smart Grids seek to supplement a vision of integration started with the methodology of Integrated Resource Planning that combines management actions by the supply side (utility) and demand (customers). The ability to accommodate distributed generation, provide efficiency, quality, reorganizing automatically are just some of the countless benefits that the whole concept of inteligente networks is to achieve, using sensing devices, communications and information processing network. More conducive for applying these concepts, rural power grids have mostly problems with power quality motivated by several factors such as the large distances of distribution feeders. Thus, this paper presents a case study in rural areas where it was used the methodologies of integrated planning and smart grids, seeking to establish the technical and economic advantages.
