Analysis of the feasibility of the use of solar photovoltaic energy for water pumping at Itaitu, Jacobina-BA

摘要

The photovoltaic generation has emerged as an alternative of sustainable energy supply, especially in isolated locations where the investments at network conventionalelectricity expansion has prohibitively costs, usually provided by distance, geographical accidents, or even by the low amount of electricity required. This article aimsto scale water supply systems using economically viable photovoltaic solar energyfocused on the familiar agriculture. These systems allows the benefited public tocontinue producing the necessary for survival, and with the ease of water management, the possibility of production increasing and diversifying. In this work aphotovoltaic panel simulator is built, and separately we do an economic feasibilitystudy for the system acquisition. Disregarding the common economic adjustmentsto the electricity supply between conventional and photovoltaic systems, the farmercan get in ten years the investment return of the solar equipment.
