The objective of this research is to analyze and provide economic bases for the use of wind energy, replacing the thermals plants in process of cost reduction, their positive impact on the economy and the environment. The energy obtained through the force of the winds is one of the oldest of the energies known and used by man. This conception of energy production was again evaluated and tested more objectively after the 1980s, especially in the USA and Europe with strong support from ERDA-Energy Research and Development Administration in the development of special turbines to capture energy from the winds and make it economically viable and sustainable. Experiments show that the use of wind energy as an economically and ecologically correct alternative for use in small and large power plants and reduce climate change.) Keywords: renewable energy, sustainable, CO² emission reduction, climate change Energy produced by the action of the wind started to have a greater development at the end of the 70s but specially during the 80s by some big companies from the USA and Europe that were creating projects of use of wind power with business objectives and economic purposes. The main companies were Boeing, General Electric, Enercon WindPower, Grumman, Kaman, Zephyr Wind Dynamo and others.Since the first oil crisis in the 1970s and in the following decades, the world has suffered and experienced many energy crises, especially non-renewable ones, causing great concern over its costs and its promotion of climate change regarding the indiscriminate use of oil. Developments for renewable, economic and ecological energy sources that do not attack and do not damage the ecosystem have been made. However, wind power faces problems with the inconstancy of the quantity and speed of the existing winds. The generators systems in the production of energy align to the problem involved with the need to use a process of storage for the generated energy for better and efficient use of this system. The studies of Mason, Page;Williamson, (2010) show that the growth of electric power generation with renewable sources is the key to the necessary decrease of emissions of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. According to the British Petroleum Energy Outlook report (2016), renewable energy sources are expected to grow rapidly, quadrupling their world share by 2035.Energy consumption per capita in Brazil is still incipient and, therefore, energy efficiency measures do not have as much government support. According to Dutra & Guedes (2013), it is still possible to progress in a sustainable way without reducing energy consumption, taking
This paper proposes ways to reduce operating costs for a Depot of empty containers, mainly to avoid wasting time with the separation of containers for cargo operations directed at offshore oil rigs. The methodology is exploratory and qualitative and looks at technological innovations such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). The technology is applicable in a depot of empty containers so that by using RFID solutions movements of containers on the backyard can better control the mobility and supply for critical situations such as offshore platforms that are located two hundred kilometers up the coastal port.
The sustainable management of multimodality depends on public policies which in Brazil are not associated with environmental legislation to practices in transport. The lack of infrastructure interorganizational between ministries prevents efficacy by Ministry of Environment to discover one right way for public benefits on developing container transportation by railway model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
