Estudo de caso da inserção de usinas fotovoltaicas na rede elétrica de Mato Grosso do Sul

Abstract

The growing adoption of renewable energy sources, especially solar energy, offers significant environmental and economic advantages. However, its integration into the electricity grid imposes technical challenges that require understanding and mitigation strategies. The main objective of this study is to analyze the impacts of incorporating renewable energy into the electricity grid in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, identifying both the benefits and the challenges inherent in this transition. In order to achieve this objective, the effects on the electricity grid following the insertion of renewable energies in the feeders of two substations in the state will be analyzed. Aspects such as power flow inversion, voltage variations, increased electrical losses and overloading of feeders will be examined. It is noted that there is an operational limit in which the active power in the network must not exceed the capacity of the equipment, otherwise its efficiency will be compromised. This work aims to make a significant contribution to sustainable energy planning in Mato Grosso do Sul, promoting a safer, more efficient transition in line with a cleaner, greener energy future.
