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.

Os financiamentos do BNDES às usinas sucroalcooleiras paulistas: potencialidades da ampliação da desigualdade regional no Brasil

The present work focuses on addressing the financing made by BNDES to sucroalcooleiras plants located in the State of São Paulo in Brazil. The study points out the Bank loans at São Paulo due to accumulation of plants technical objects that BNDES loans provide the State, with the installation of new equipment, machinery and services in canavieiros enterprises for electric power generation. Sucroalcooleiras plants are getting financing from BNDES to expand and diversify power generation in the country, mainly in São Paulo, because residential and industrial consumption of electricity grows annually. The offer of new financing to sucroalcooleiras plants for energy production Sao Paulo electric provides continued technical density in São Paulo and the expansion of regional inequality in the country. Therefore, the present study highlights for the period 2008 to 2013 the BNDES financing for are sucroalcooleiras plants in order to highlight the consolidation of technical objects in the State and show that the funding will help in the expansion of regional disparity

Feasibility of solar heating systems composed of recyclable packaging for low-income rural communities

Solar heaters are an appropriate technology in tropical and sub-tropical climates to heat bath water by solar energy. Low-cost solar heaters meet the demand of low-income rural communities which currently do not have access to this technology. Current research analyzes the economic viability of solar heaters, built with recyclable materials, to reduce electric energy bill. A solar heating system was built consisting of recyclable materials in accordance with the manuals provided by the Secretariat of Environment of the state of Paraná (SEMA). Duration of use of electric showers by families of rural properties was determined to calculate expenses and billing of electricity. Simulation and material costs showed that the system was feasible. Commercial solar heaters could be replaced at a cost of R$ 22.61 per month during 13 months.

Projeto preliminar de cogeração aplicado a um forno de produção de vidro plano

The objective of this paper is to realize the preliminary cogeneration project, to be applied on the output of a float glass furnace, aiming the energetic use of the furnace's by-products in other relevant applications on the site. It was analyzed the main points where the cycle could be installed and also the available technologies to energy recovery. After, it was chosen the installation point and the technology to be projected, evaluated the electric power generated and the cycle efficiency. Finally it was evaluated economical indicators in order to verify the project's economical feasibility

Análise de viabilidade de implementação de um centro inteligente de motores

Across the industry, regardless of the activity which is intended, the electricity distribution must meet the current and ever growing needs of the market, aiming at reliability and process efficiency. The energy must not only be available to ensure continuity of operation, but also to avoid the costs incurred due to deficiencies and failures. The tendency to migrate to intelligent systems is undeniable and this thesis will be analyzed the advantages that made this kind technology essential, focused on the analysis of the motor control center and as sturdy equipment fit to the concept of intelligent panels. The case study compares in a real scenario the acquisition of a system of low-voltage electrical panels comparing the cost to purchase the same set of panels made with and without the concept of intelligence

Aplicação das normas para adequação de subestação

The first approach in this work is the concept of the electric power transmission and distribution system, as well as the survey of the current condition of substations chosen to thus identify the importance of having a suitable design with respect to security due to the need to obtain the approval for the operation of the substation according to the standards valid in the country. Present the guidelines and present needs when designing improvements, thus ensuring the company for more safety and reliability. From the company's point of view is an opportunity to reduce the cost of maintenance, and the professional point of view is an opportunity that allows a comprehensive study of legal requirements for the operation of substations

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
