In the wake of current global image involving environmental impacts, the use of wind power has had a remarkable growth in recent years as a technique for generating electricity. In fact, it is a source featuring strong dissemination of technology which provides decrease in costs and a greater access to low-income electricity. PROINFA (Incentive Program for Alternative Energy Sources) promotes a greater diffusion of new technologies for power generation, in particular wind-produced. Due to such a scenario on the exploitation of such energy source, current analysis discusses strategies for the development of domestic wind technology and the implications for electricity-lacking rural areas. Analysis shows a similar behavior between rural populations lacking electricity and the amount of potential energy available in the region. It is expected that this assay will contribute towards the establishment of public policies for wind-energy parks on rural farms in the North and Northeast regions of Brazil.

The distribution of natural gas is carried out by means of long ducts and intermediate compression stations to compensate the pressure drops due to friction. The natural gas compressors are usually driven by an electric motor or a gas turbine system, offering possibilities for energy management, one of these consisting in generating energy for use in-plant or to commercialize as independent power producer. It can be done by matching the natural gas demand, at the minimum pressure allowed in the reception point, and the storage capacity of the feed duct with the maximum compressor capacity, for storing the natural gas at the maximum permitted pressure. This allows the gas turbine to drive an electric generator during the time in which the decreasing pressure in duct is above the minimum acceptable by the sink unit. In this paper, a line-pack management analysis is done for an existing compression station considering its actual demand curve for determining the economic feasibility of maintaining the gas turbine system driver generating electricity in a peak and off-peak tariff structure. The potential of cost reduction from the point of view of energy resources (natural gas and electric costs) is also analyzed. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A introdução de negros submetidos ao cativeiro na Capitania de Mato Grosso decorreu da descoberta das minas de Cuiabá. A crise da mineração deslocou os capitais utilizados na mineração para outros setores, ou seja, Mato Grosso passava, no começo do século XIX, por uma fase de transição da economia mineradora para a agropastoril. Nesse período, uma onda povoadora oriunda de Minas Gerais e São Paulo, alcançou o núcleo de Sant’Ana do Paranaíba e dali se expandiu para grande parte do sudeste do antigo Mato Grosso, valendo-se amplamente do braço escravizado para suas incursões, apossamentos e desenvolvimento econômico. Este texto busca compreender as relações escravistas em Sant’Ana de Paranaíba, bem como o papel do escravo naquela sociedade.

Given the increasing demand for fossil fuels to power the engines of the global economy, and also the slow process of synthesis of oil, it becomes necessary to develop new sources of renewable energy in addition to improve promising sources that already exist, turning them competitive. Based on this, biomass is shown very promising between the most popular energy sources due to its availability, applicability, and above all, the fact of not emitting green house gases when analyzing the whole carbon cycle. In this sense, this work presents, through an environmental, technical and economic analysis, the impact in an aluminum mill of replacing the use of electricity, in one process, by a boiler fueled with biomass from waste process of packaging the finished product with pallets. Thus, besides the reduction of CO2 emissions, financial gains are targeted, since the main goal of the corporations that require such power is to maximize its profits

The discussion about possibility of deployment of MSW incineration boilers to generate electricity in Brazil is the major topic of this paper. In this article are showed some advantages and disadvantages of this technology, as well as a methodology for the estimate of area for the main equipments of a steam generator for a boiler incineration
