Combate a Incêndios Em Edificações Com Geradores De Energia Solar Fotovoltaica Conectados À Rede: Observações Iniciais

Abstract

The increasing popularization of the use of photovoltaic energy and due to its peculiar electrical characteristics, made studies related to the combat and prevention of fires in buildings with photovoltaic solar energy equipment that can subsidize the teams of firefighters/brigadiers essential. An effect of the lack of information on the subject is the development of fear on the part of firefighters / brigadiers when attending a fire in photovoltaic modules, this can generate a certain inertia on the part of these professionals, potentiating human and material damage. It should be noted that due to its relatively recent regulation, and even more recent popularization, the mini and distributed microgeneration lacks specific and current studies and standards that can satisfactorily and safely meet this new trend in energy generation. The present study concluded that until electronic devices are incorporated into the photovoltaic generator that eliminate the risk of electric shock, due to the direct current existing between the modules and the inverter, the firefighters/brigade must use the already existing safe techniques to combat equipment energized.
