Análise da influência da usina solar fotovoltaica na qualidade de energia do ifpe - campus pesqueira, utilizando os critérios do módulo 8 do prodist

Abstract

Brazil is experiencing rapid growth in the adoption of photovoltaic solar energy. Grid-integrated photovoltaic systems allow a portion of the generated energy to be consumed instantaneously by the user unit, while the excess is transferred to the utility grid, resulting in energy credits. This study investigates how photovoltaic solar energy generation affects the quality of electrical energy in an academic environment, specifically at IFPE - Campus Pesqueira. Using the parameters defined by Module 8 of PRODIST, the study evaluates quality indicators such as voltage, harmonic distortions, and power factor in different operational scenarios. Data collection was carried out between March and August 2024, totaling 11,088 samples. The TopView software was used to process the data measured by the network analyzer, allowing for a detailed analysis of the results. The findings revealed significant variations in energy quality, with a focus on voltage imbalance issues and increased harmonic distortions during certain periods of photovoltaic plant operation.
