Estudo de viabilidade para implementação de um sistema fotovoltaico em um parque de abastecimento de aeronaves em Fortaleza/CE

Abstract

The present work analyzes the viability, from the technical and financial point of view, of the implementation of a photovoltaic system in an Aircraft Supply Park located in Fortaleza / CE. This proposal enables the reduction of electricity costs and promotes the use of alternative energies, reducing the environmental impacts caused by the local activity (sale of fossil fuels).To develop the project, were introduced the theoretical concepts and the relevant standards for the implementation of photovoltaic systems were identified. The impacts of this implementation within the airport area were analyzed in order to understand its influence on aeronautical safety, moreover, it was also analyzed the security of implementation concerning the hazardous areas, because it is a company that stores and manipulates fuels. Given those premises, it was possible to select the system's installation areas, which allowed sizing the PV system in three scenarios, one considering the available usable area currently on-site, other considering the off-peak consumption, and other considering the installation in steps. After that, was analyzed the financial aspect, by simulating the installation in all scenarios. The first analysis to implement scenario 1 (50 kWp) resulted in an initial investment of R$ 213,000.00, with a return on investment in 4.87 years. The second analysis to install only scenario 2 (75 kWp) resulted in an initial investment of R$ 339,509.34, with a return on investment in 5.41 years. The third analysis with the implementation of the scenarios in stages resulted in a total investment of R$ 383,009.34, with a payback time in 6.68 years. Thus, all scenarios proved to be viable.
