Estudo do impacto de geração solar fotovoltaica nos níveis de curto-circuito e na proteção do sistema elétrico de potência do campus central da UFRN, usando o softaware OpenDSS.

Dissertação (Mestrado Profissional em Energia Elétrica) - Centro de Tecnologia, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2023.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/54476Three photovoltaic (PV) systems were installed in 2022 within the energy distribution network of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) Central Campus. Beyond the already connected and functional solar generators, new PV systems in Central Campus are foreseen within the next years, for the purpose the complying with sustainable goals. With the implementation of distributed generation, urges the necessity to evaluate protection parameters of the electric power system, considering that the load flow, which were essentially unidirectional – from Neoenergia COSERN grid to the load –, now turns into bidirectional. The main focus of this work is to analyze solar plants contribution to short-circuits in the power system of the UFRN Central Campus and to propose adjustments to the main minigeneration protection system, as well to its backup protection systems, in order to guarantee coordination between series protection devices.Acesso AbertoGeração fotovoltaicaContribuições no curto-circuitoImpacto no sistema de proteçãoRedes elétricas de distribuiçãomasterThesisCNPQ::ENGENHARIAS
