Análise histórica da expansão das conexões de geração distribuída na Região Metropolitana de Fortaleza: distribuição por bairros da capital e municípios

Abstract

This paper carries out a quantitative survey of the new Distributed Generation connection points in the Metropolitan Region of Fortaleza (RMF). This study was made in order to verify the flow of new Distributed Generation connection points and evaluate its growth along the years of 2012 and 2021. The survey is split into two territories: The city of Fortaleza (with its neighborhoods) and the Zone of The Other Municipalities from the Metropolitan Region of Fortaleza. The entry of new Distributed Generation customers is displayed at a sub-regional level (neighborhoods and municipalities) having as a goal the identification of the regions with higher growth and the ones with the greatest potential for the entry of new Distributed Generation connection points. The identification of the proportion rates between the modalities adopted by customers over the years follows through as a mean to observe the variation of these values. It is also done to verify the growth trend and to point out the expansion capacity of the less utilized modalities. Lastly, a timeline with normative, social and economic events that may have affected the flow of new Distributed Generation connection points in Fortaleza and its metropolitan region during the showcased period is presented. These events are then linked with the analyzed data as basis to justify the pattern of the flow of new Distributed Generation customers.
