Análise das perturbações de qualidade de energia em sistemas de distribuição e a adequação as tendências regulatórias do PRODIST

The public consultation n° 018/2014, for review the Module 8 of Procedures of Electricity Distribution (PRODIST), conducted by National Agency of Electric Energy (ANEEL), aims to improve the regulation of power quality, considering the phenomena harmonic distortion, voltage unbalance, voltage fluctuation and short term voltage variation. These regulatory changes impact in the way of analysis and treatment, of power quality disruption, by the electricity distribution. The developed work makes a study about the applications of these new regulatory requests and hopes to contribute with a better understanding. Through power quality measurements, in distribution substations, with different load profiles (industrial, urban and rural), was obtained a real view of the system, under the aspect of power quality, to evaluate the regulation adherence to the current version and proposed. In this case study, although being in accordance with the current methodology, happened a transgression of propose. With a comparative analysis, was possible to identify some phenomena that were more flexible in the proposed revision and others with more severe monitoring

Regiões de estabilidade no ambiente de um sistema de asteroide triplo

This work was developed from the study by Araujo, R.A.N. et al. Stability regions around the components of the triple system 2001 SN263. (Monthly Notices Of The Royal Astronomical Society, 2012, v. 423(4), 3058-3073 p.) where it was studied the stable and unstable regions system (2001 SN263), which is a triple asteroid system, and these are celestial orbiting our sun. Being close to the Earth is characterized as NEA (Near-Earth Asteroids), asteroids and which periodically approach the Earth's orbit, given that there is great interest in the study and exploitation of these objects, it is the key can carry features that contribute to better understand the process of formation of our solar system. Study the dynamics of bodies that govern those systems proves to be greatly attractive because of the mutual gravitational perturbation of bodies and also by external disturbances. Recently, NEA 2001 SN263 was chosen as a target of Aster mission where a probe is sent for this triple system, appearing therefore the need for obtaining information for characterizing stable regions internal and external to the system, with respect to the effects of radiation pressure. First, this study demonstrated that the integrator used showed satisfactory results of the orbital evolution of bodies in accordance with previous studies and also the characterization of stable and unstable regions brought similar results to the study by Araujo et al. (2012). From these results it was possible to carry out the implementation of the radiation pressure in the system in 2001 SN263, in a region close to the central body, where the simulations were carried out, which brought as a result that the regions before being characterized as stable in unstable true for small particles size from 1 to 5 micrometers. So the next orbital region to the central body and the ... ( Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Avaliação histopatológica utilizando PAS para análise de alterações hepáticas em ratos tratados com 4-NQO

O fígado é a maior glândula e o segundo maior órgão do corpo, podendo ser dividido em zona 1, próxima à região do espaço porta, zona 2 ou intermediária, e zona 3, próxima da veia centro-lobular. A zona 1 é responsável pela gliconeogenese, enquanto a zona 3 é responsável pela detoxicação. O óxido de 4-nitroquinolina (4-NQO) é um agente carcinogênico sintético capaz de aumentar o risco individual ao desenvolvimento de neoplasia maligna na língua de ratos, e sua biotransformação 4-HAQO ocorre no compartimento hepático. Neste estudo, 5 grupos de 8 ratos cada, foram submetidos à administração oral de 4-NQO na concentração de 25 ppm (massa solvente/massa soluto) através da água de beber, com a finalidade de identificar a ocorrência de alterações metabólicas hepáticas devido ao acúmulo de glicogênio nos hepatócitos dos animais, analisado pela coloração de ácido periódico de Shiff (PAS). O glicogênio é o principal polissacarídeo de reserva energética dos animais, e é fundamental para manter a homeostase do organismo, sendo seu acúmulo nos hepatócitos uma resposta fisiológica normal após a ingestão de alimentos, ou ainda, pode devido a perturbações metabólicas provocadas por tratamentos que os animais foram expostos. Neste estudo, o fígado dos animais dos diferentes grupos analisados demonstraram níveis distintos de marcação para glicogênio, mas não apresentaram diferenças estatisticamente significantes, podendo considerar que os animais foram pouco ou não foram afetados pela exposição às diferentes substâncias estudadas no projeto e que não foram tóxicas aos animais, havendo apenas um ligeiro aumento nos níveis de glicogênio hepático geral.

Estudo comparativo da proteção da rede secundária de uma distribuidora de energia elétrica utilizando chave fusível e seccionalizador monofásico

The objective of this work is to conduct a comparative study between the fuse key and the single-phase seccionalizador, which are protective equipment used in an electricity distribution networks. This study has also the purpose to reduce the number of electrical power breakdown. Distribution networks are not free from faults, disturbances and failures, then the occurrence of adversities on the network, which may be transient or permanent faults, results in the interruption of electric power. Thus, there are protective systems of distribution networks, which aims to ensure that the electric system continues to function. The incidence of transient faults in the distribution network of this electricity company was used to generate immediate shutdown of customers due to the bad use of fuses as protective equipment by the reclosers. With the use of the fuse switch in the distribution network, there was the immediate shutdown of customers, however, using the single-phase seccionalizador as protective equipment by the reclosers, there are three attempts to restart the electricity power. As the attempts to restart the electricity power are able to eliminate a transient fault, not causing shutdown of any costumer, with the implementation of single-phase sectionalizers to replace the fuses, the number of company shutdowns due to transient faults was reduced by 47.6%
