CONVERSÃO DE ENERGIA: estudo comparativo da eficiência de dois modelos de painéis solares para atender a demanda da Cidade Universitária do Grupo Unis

Abstract

This work aims to present a comparative study between the efficiency of two solar panels for the implantation of solar photovoltaic energy to meet the entire demand of electric power of the Cidade Universitária do Grupo Unis (University City Group Unis), such an approach is justified seeing the difference in the results obtained from each one of them when analyzed in real conditions, such as on efficiency as a parameter of the effectiveness of the process of converting solar energy into electrical energy, as in number of panels. With the population growth population growth and technological evolution, the demand for electricity in Brazil and the world has increased, it has being the target of attention from researchers and industries, which seek to ensure sustainable energy production to meet all the demand without harming the environment. Photovoltaic solar energy has been presented as a source able to meet this need, because it is totally inexhaustible and clean, and yet, with the capacity to generate considerable amount of electric energy, however, in order to be viable its use is necessary to verify the actual viability of your installation. The basis for the use of this technology is the possibility of converting the solar energy that the Earth receives from the Sun in the form of radiation using the photovoltaic effect to convert into electric energy, a condition given by the heat transfer, which models and gives parameters to the transmission of energy by radiation. From the study, it is possible to state that for a given application of photovoltaic systems it is necessary to evaluate several factors, such as the amount of incident solar irradiation, ambient temperature at the place to be installed, and the area available for installation, the power, efficiency of conversion and the cost of solar panels available in the market, since the design is conditioned in relation to costs and the area available for installation.
