Software That Assists the Analysis of the Economic Viability of the Installation of Biodigesters in Rural Properties Destined for Milking

摘要

The economic development and disorderly population growth,coupled with the modern society’s lifestyle,are complex processes that share a common denominator:the availability of an adequate and reliable supply of energy.An alternative is sustainable development through alternative sources of energy,such as solar energy,wind energy and biomass.In both the international and domestic markets,biomass is considered one of the main alternatives for the diversification of the energy matrix and the consequent reduction of dependence on fossil fuels.The objective of this work is to develop a linear programming model that helps in the decision making as to the feasibility of the implantation of biodigesters for the production of biogas in rural properties destined for milking.In order to solve the proposed model,the classic simplex method was implemented,in the Java programming language with the aim of obtaining results that can be used to support decision making.
