Análise técnico-econômica de uma usina fotovoltaica utilizando sistema de trackers com algoritmo backtracking

Abstract

In this work, it was realized a technical-financial analysis of a Photovoltaic Plant with the DC peak power of 2,6 MWp located in the city of Baldim, in the Minas Gerais state. The energy generation data from the first year of the plant operation were compared with simulations using the PVSyst software, in order to validate the Helioclim meteorological database and the data measured in the site, by a meteorological station. This work also explores the energy generation of this solar plant, in three different scenarios: with the use of fixed tilt structures and trackers with and without the backtracking technology. Finally, based on the energy generation data collected, economic viability studies were carried out, presenting the costs of implantation and operation of each scenario and their respective economic indexes: Internal rate of return, net present value, cash flow and investment payback.
