Mapping and Characterization of the Grid-connected Photovoltaic Systems in the City of Curitiba: Preliminary Results

Abstract

This work presents the mapping of grid-connected photovoltaic systems supported by the Normative Resolution (NR) of the National Agency of Electric Energy (ANEEL) Nº 482/2012 in the city of Curitiba. Firstly, a brief introduction was made justifying the reasons that led to the development of this study, followed by the explanation about the methodology, procedures and criteria adopted in the study. A general mapping of all on-grid photovoltaic systems supported by NR Nº 482/2012 installed in the city of Curitiba, identified by class, is presented, indicating how the urban distribution of these photovoltaic systems occurs, and it is possible to observe in which regions the highest prevalence of installations occurs. From this, the general characterization of these photovoltaic systems is performed, classifying them by class, number of installed systems, power, number of modules, total occupied area, average power of modules and average efficiency of photovoltaic systems. Considerations are also raised regarding the reliability of the Database of Distributed Generation Consumer Units made available by ANEEL.

Analysis of PV Systems Installed in Paraná

“…Before that, the use of PV generation was restricted only to large generation plants and universities, mostly for research purposes [4]. The normative resolution number 482 also created the "Electricity Compensation System", in which consumers are allowed to inject the surplus energy generated in the concessionaire's grid and consume the energy from the grid when there is no generation from PV plant [5].…”

Energia solar fotovoltaica e automóveis elétricos: a combinação de um modelo para redução de emissões de carbono na cidade de Curitiba

“…Tendo em perspectiva as projeções para os sistemas fotovoltaicos conectados à rede em Curitiba e no Paraná, o estado possui 810 SFVCR (TONIN, F.S., 2017) instalados e em operação de acordo com dados disponibilizados pela ANEEL. O setor residencial em Curitiba representa cerca de 80% dos sistemas fotovoltaicos conectados à rede, onde existe um total de 170 SFVCR instalados e em operação, totalizando em 754,34 KW instalados, os quais correspondem a um área total de 5.123,00 m² de painéis fotovoltaicos (SCOLARI et al, 2018).…”
