Retificador entrelaçado com elevado fator de potência para operação de um veículo trólebus alimentado por redes em CA Ou CC

This paper presents the development and the main results for an interleaved boost rectifier operating as a special input power stage for a trolleybus type vehicle, allowing its feeding by alternate current (AC) or direct current (DC) distribution power systems. When feeding with two wires (single phase) alternate current distribution system, the converter accomplish active power factor correction, providing a relatively sinusoidal current with low total harmonic distortion (THD) and fully complying with IEC 61000-3-4 standards. In addition, a management control system promotes the required automatic operation changes for the proposed rectifier when the vehicle is changing from the DC distribution power system to the AC distribution power system and vice-versa, keeping its original electrical DC system characteristics for the adjustable speed driver sub-system. The main experimental results for a prototype rated at 150kW are presented, considering its application for a trolleybus with DC adjustable speed driver, demonstrating the proposed converter benefits and the possibility of AC feeding system for trolleybus type vehicle.

Possibilidades e limitações da prática do professor na experiência com a temática energia e desenvolvimento humano no ensino de ciências

Reflections on the Movement STSE, in basic education, have pointed to the introduction of discussions involving the socio-scientific issues, as a way of organization and development of forming processes in science classes. In this sense, the research that we developed sought to bring to physics classes of basic education, the discussions surrounding the relationship between science, technology, society and environment issues related to production and access to electricity and human development. In order to interpret formative aspects of this approach was achieved through a short course. Thus, we discuss in this paper, the discourse of students and a professor of physics who participated in this short course. Therefore, we seek in discourse analysis, reflection on this practice, which has limitations such as lack of recognition of this type of training status by the students as well as possibilities represented by the establishment of training spaces that contribute to the discussion of socio-scientific issues.

Análise da viabilidade do uso de biogás gerado a partir de dejetos bovinos em microturbinas para fins de geração, cogeração e trigeração de energia

The use of digesters has become an important alternative for the proper disposal of organic agricultural wastes, serving as a solution to some environmental and health problems. Furthermore, the process of digestion provides commercially valuable by products such as biogas and bio fertilizer. The generation of biogas from agricultural waste, and its use in power generation systems has aroused great interest in rural areas because it enables supply in whole or in large part the energy demand of ownership by reducing production costs. The advent of technology has brought new forms of energy conversion of biogas, as the use of micro turbines specifies to be fuelled with biogas derived from the decomposition of organic matter in digesters, since it has a low level of methane in its composition, and high degree of impurities such as hydrogen sulphide, which are harmful to equipment and reduce the calorific value of biogas. The use of micro turbines behind other advantages like low emissions, great fuel flexibility and low maintenance. This paper presents an analysis of the feasibility of using biogas generated from cattle manure in micro turbines to generate electricity. Behind also an assessment of the energy potential that each animal has on various uses of biogas, and forms of energy recovery from the exhaust gases of the micro turbine. Also conducts an evaluation of the energy savings that the use of biogas aggregates properties.

Análise estatística de parâmetros elétricos em usinas sucroalcoleiras do centro-oeste paulista

The industry of sugar cane has become an important contributor to the generation of electricity in Brazil. Currently there are 434 sugar and ethanol plants operating in the country, 23% of the total export electricity to the National Integrated System (SIN), the state of São Paulo has 182 plants and 30% of them export energy to the SIN. The objective of this study is to compare parameters of electrical efficiency in the sugar and alcohol industry. For the study, three plants localized in the midwest region of Sao Paulo state with great potential for production and exporting bioenergy were chosen. Five energy analyzers LANDYS + GYR SAGA were used for measure the electrical parameters. The variables studied were energy consumption (C) and power factor (PF). For the statistical analysis it was adopteda randomized block design in a factorial 3 5composed of three companies and five sectors of energy consumption,in which: reception(1), milling (2), boiler (3), supporting activities / juice treatment (4), and distillation (5), totaling 15 treatments. Each group comprised 192 repetitions (48 hours 4 measurements per hour). It was concluded that there is no interest for the plans to fix the FP and reach a value 0.92, which is considered the ideal power factor.This,because the plants generate their own energy and are not penalized. Regarding the energy consumed, all sectors had significant differences. When comparingsector to sector, the plant called USB showed no significant differences in sectors 1 and 3, and the plant USC, in sectors 1 and 4. Considering the production units of this sector and selling power this type of evaluation is essential to perform this analysis, since the analyzed sectors are most important in the production of sugar and ethanol, and analyze and monitor these parameters, use and consumption energy can provide a greater supply of energy to be commercialized.

A importância da irrigação em pequenas e médias propriedades da região de Presidente Prudente-SP

A produção de alimentos é uma atividade essencial para a existência humana que demanda efetivamente muita água. A chuva é a sua principal fonte e, na falta desta, a irrigação supre essa necessidade, de forma parcial ou integral. A proposta do presente trabalho é levantar informações quantitativas e qualitativas a respeito de pequenas e médias propriedades da região de Presidente Prudente - SP que praticam a agricultura irrigada e apresentar, com base nos dados obtidos em pesquisa de campo, a importância da irrigação na região. Nesta pesquisa, no total foram entrevistados 28 produtores da região. Quanto à gestão do sistema, a pesquisa mostrou que poucos produtores detêm conhecimento e controle de informações para avaliar o incremento em relação à produtividade e a renda. Custos de implantação e manutenção dos sistemas, custo com energia elétrica e dificuldades com reposição de peças desgastadas e/ou danificadas, são apontadas como entraves no processo produtivo quando se utiliza algum sistema de irrigação. Já em relação ao grau de satisfação dos produtores quanto aos sistemas de irrigação que se encontram instalados em suas propriedades, o resultado é bastante positivo. Além do aumento de produtividade e aumento de renda, os produtores pontuaram benefícios tais como a possibilidade de sustentar suas famílias com uma pequena área de plantio, a permanência do homem no campo e a possibilidade de produzir em épocas de seca.

Análise matemática da potência gerada por sistemas fotovoltáicos e suas aplicações

A radiação solar constitui-se numa inesgotável fonte energética, havendo um enorme potencial de utilização por meio de sistemas de captação e conversão em outra forma de energia. Para a conversão direta da energia solar em elétrica, são utilizadas células fotovoltaicas constituídas, que associadas constituem um módulo fotovoltaico, sendo que também quando agrupados, formam painéis fotovoltaicos. Estes painéis associados a outros equipamentos que transformam ou armazenam energia elétrica para que ela possa ser utilizada é chamado de sistema fotovoltaico. Neste trabalho, foram determinadas analiticamente formas de obtenção de curvas de corrente e potência fotovoltaicas, e também o ponto de potência máxima. Tais métodos foram aplicados no sistema fotovoltaico localizado na FCA/UNESP, sendo utilizado um sistema constituído por três módulos fotovoltaicos. Para o desenvolvimento das equações que regem a potência dos sistemas fotovoltaicos, procurou-se estudar o circuito elétrico de células fotovoltaicas, sendo necessária também a aplicação de métodos numéricos iterativos para a determinação de alguns parâmetros elétricos. De acordo com os teoremas apresentados, foi possível determinar as expressões analíticas da resistência série e do ponto de potência máxima de uma célula fotovoltaica, possibilitando a geração dos gráficos de tais funções com os dados obtidos experimentalmente. Comparando-se os valores obtidos pelas funções com os valores padrões do sistema fotovoltaico instalado, o valor calculado apresentou um erro de 1,03% em relação ao dado pelo fabricante, representando uma excelente aproximação. Desta forma, pode-se concluir que os métodos e teoremas dos sistemas fotovoltaicos apresentados podem servir de auxílio a futuros dimensionamentos para aplicações destes sistemas.
