NETWORK SOLARIMETRIC – COMPANHIA HIDRO ELÉTRICA DO SÃO FRANCISCO – CHESF

Abstract

Chesf within its strategic plan to deploy new technologies for power generation, have solar energy as an alternative thus initiated a project to install 15 stations solarimetric in all northeastern states except Maranhão. This paper describes the procedure and criteria for facilities of these stations. Of these, about ten already do the measurements and data transmission to be evaluated by the company. Initial studies indicate a capacity factor of up to 21% in the region for photovoltaic technology, the above factor that often the plants present, around 18%. Another aspect to be studied is to find out what the best generation solar technology that fits in the region. The prototype to be simulated parks are initially powers up to 30 MW. The investment will also be discussed, as it will be in the order of R$ 3.6 million.
