A relevância dos Sistemas de Informação Geográfica no desenvolvimento das energias renováveis

Abstract

The use of renewable energies in isolated douseholds, dispite the grid expansion, is considered viable due to economic criteria in some cases. In these cases, many aspects are considered as, for instance, demand expands potential, distance of grid and appropiate eletric generation technology. Each technology needs specifics analysis and demands handling databancs and projections. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are tools that aim to join resource and energetic demands data about the places that will be analysed with a framework of geographical information and provides the results disposed in a image, this way allowing, safety and agility in take decisions. In that way, they can contribute with the universality eletric energy programs in Brazil.
