Análise técnica das perdas elétricas em condutores de redes de média tensão em parques eólicos

Abstract

This work aims to address the topic of calculating losses in conductors within wind farms, a subject of great relevance in the context of electricity generation from renewable sources. As wind energy becomes established as one of the main sustainable alternatives in the global energy matrix, it becomes essential to understand and mitigate the electrical losses that occur throughout the transmission system, aiming for greater efficiency and lower economic impact. In this sense, the dissertation discusses the basic fundamentals of general concepts related to the conduction of electric energy and the factors that influence losses in conductors. Subsequently, the methods for calculating electrical losses are presented in greater depth, taking into account parameters such as material resistivity, line distance, electric current, and temperature, and finally, the proper sizing of electrical lines in wind farm design projects
