Análise preditiva do crescimento da geração distribuída fotovoltaica no Brasil

Abstract

Once society realized the negative aspects of the emission of polluting gases that cause the greenhouse effect, renewable energy sources, such as hydroelectric, nuclear, wind and solar photovoltaic plants have gained a lot of prominence. Although the first photovoltaic cell was created in 1883, it was only in the last decade that technological advances allowed manufacturing of photovoltaic modules to be accessible and economically viable for consumers, causing a huge growth of this technology in Brazil and the world. In view of this recent increase, this study seeks to estimate the growth trend of the installed capacity of micro and mini photovoltaic power plants in the country, using python programming language to develop linear and polynomial regression models.
