Estudo sobre a energia eólica no Brasil e seus impactos

Abstract

The use of wind energy is present for a long time in the life of human beings, whether in aid to navigation, work or production of energy. The use of this technology was gradually being dropped from the years of 1950 due to their low efficiency and competition from other energy sources. However, the energy crisis of the 70 caused countries to invest heavily in alternative energy sources, including wind power. With that, new types of wind turbines have been developed that take advantage more and more efficiently to wind energy, generating enough energy to make this increasingly competitive source. Singled out as a good solution to the energy crisis aid, wind power has been growing increasingly on the world stage. As proof of this, are building ever-larger wind farms including using maritime areas for your deployment. In Brazil also has been growing use of this alternative source of energy, but before his great potential the amount of energy generated is still far from what can be achieved, because also contributes with a very low percentage in the national electric system. In addition to being a completely renewable source, another factor which influences wind source utilization is its low environmental impact, because studies show that as compared to other sources, the energy of winds in this regard, and excels as a smaller energy sources produce harmful gases to the environment and that are marked as main responsible for the greenhouse effect.
