Gestão da energia e da manutenção da usina solar fotovoltaica do IFPE – Campus Garanhuns: avaliação tarifária e proposta FMEA

Abstract

The present final project aimed to seek solutions for the energy management of the Garanhuns campus of the Federal Institute of Pernambuco. In order to achieve the desired outcomes, two fundamental procedures were carried out: the tariff analysis of the facilities and the application of the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) method focused on the maintenance of the local solar photovoltaic plant. For the first procedure, an analysis of the electricity tariffs applied to the Garanhuns campus was conducted with the objective of identifying ways to optimize consumption and promote energy efficiency. Consumption patterns and specific demands of the facilities were taken into consideration. Through this analysis, adjustments to the electricity contract were proposed, reducing the institute's costs. For the second procedure, the FMEA method was applied to the campus's solar photovoltaic plant. Failure Mode and Effects Analysis is a systematic tool that aims to identify and evaluate potential failure modes, their causes and effects, as well as recommend mitigation measures. By filling out the FMEA form, vulnerabilities and risks associated with the operation of the solar photovoltaic plant were identified, along with maintenance measures to ensure its reliability. Through the tariff analysis and the application of the FMEA method, this project presents proposals to improve the energy management of the campus. It is expected that the proposed solutions will be implemented and bring significant benefits to the campus and the academic community as a whole
