Modelagem de usina autoprodutora de energia para oferecimento do lastro energético de uma unidade consumidora do serviço autonômo de água e esgoto de Sobral/Ce

Abstract

The Brazilian Electric Sector is currently undergoing a process of modernization, characterized, above all, by the largest conference of autonomy to the final energy consumer: large consumers, such as industries and large businesses, already have decision-making power over who will be their electricity supplier, as well as the prices at which the energy amounts will be hired. All this is possible thanks to the regulatory environment called the Free Contracting Environment (FCE), which is currently undergoing a gradual process of opening, which will result in the possibility of inserting smaller consumers, such as homes and small businesses, in the so-called Free Market power. Within this regulatory environment for contracting electricity, the Self-Production of Energy modality stands out as an option for generating its own energy, due to all the financial benefits this model brings. The payback time obtained with the implementation of this self-producing power plant was approximately 3 years and 10 months, proving to be an investment of extreme financial attractiveness.
