Análise da inserção de energia eólica na matriz elétrica brasileira

Abstract

The growth in the share of wind power in the world's electricity generation is presented as a response to international agreements aimed at increasing the contribution of renewable sources as a way of combating climate change. Brazil, in particular, has played a significant role in the installation of new wind farms, mainly due to its potential and policies to encourage alternative sources. Anyway, this theme brings with it a series of consolations and restlessness. In this sense, the present work presents the aspects of the large-scale insertion of this renewable source, reviewing the latest national and international scientific production related to this issue. Wind energy aims to consolidate, definitively, as a viable alternative to the hydrothermal generation prevailing in Brazil, however, its intermittent character is concerned with the security of supply and demand. It can be affirmed that economic, technological and climatic gains are relevant and present as stimulating factors for the country's development, the socio-environmental impacts that arise due to its implementation should not be neglected and must be attended in a participatory and democratic manner. In addition, the wind industry may suffer a downturn due to the negative economic moment the country is going through, but through political will, adequate energy planning and public collaboration, it is possible to create a favorable environment for national suppliers and manufacturers, stimulate job creation, and provide safe electricity supply and social and environmental justice
