O papel dos Sistemas de Informação Geográfica no planeamento, projecto e manutenção da Rede de Distribuição de Energia Eléctrica

Este relatório de estágio representa o desenvolvimento de uma metodologia, com recurso a Tecnologias de Informação Geográfica, que permite a identificação de zonas que condicionam os processos de planeamento, projecto e manutenção das estruturas que compõem a Rede de Distribuição de Energia Eléctrica. Centra-se assim nas Tecnologias de Informação Geográfica enquanto instrumentos que permitem realizar estudos de carácter territorial com relevância para o sector energético. São trabalhadas a identificação e delimitação de zonas de gelo, zonas de poluição industrial e zonas de salinidade em Portugal Continental. A delimitação destas zonas foi realizada com recurso a ferramentas de análise espacial, utilizando dados fidedignos provenientes de Instituições da Administração Pública. São documentadas também tarefas extraordinárias propostas pela EDP Distribuição - Energia, S.A. Desta forma é possível compreender as vantagens e desvantagens da utilização destas tecnologias por parte da EDP Distribuição, de forma a melhorar a gestão dos recursos disponíveis, para ajudar a manter a qualidade do serviço prestado. Ficou no entanto a recomendação de uma maior aposta nestas tecnologias.

The report addresses the question of what are the preferences of broadband consumers on the Portuguese telecommunication market. A triple play bundle is being investigated.
