Feasibility study for implementation of a photovoltaic solar park for energy generation intended for Industry Social Service educational institutions - SESI of the Federal District

Abstract

Photovoltaic energy is advantageous when we consider the benefits it brings to the environment as it comes from a renewable source, in addition to reducing the value of electricity bills construction. Thus, the purpose of this study is to analyze the availability of implementing a photovoltaic solar park to generate energy to the joint supply 3 (three) schools of the education network of the Federal District with remote self-consumption model. The methodological procedures are divided into three stages: (1) analysis of the buildings' electricity bills; (2) energy generation and quantitative analysis of photovoltaic units and (3) analysis of the roof area by means of satellite images, budget and return calculation. The results indicate that the implementation of the photovoltaic solar park brings benefits to the three educational institutions, both economically and educationally. The initial investment corresponds to BRL 6,027,328 and the simple payback points to about 6 years 11 months and 12 days. Financial data weigh heavily on decision-making, especially when other commitments take up a large part of the institutions' budget. However, although schools have the characteristic of increased load and consumption, with the PV plant it is possible to achieve energy self-sufficiency, raising the level of quality offered by the entire Fiber System, in addition to meeting the sustainable development goal (SDG 7) of the UN, also meeting the 2030 agenda and the great current sustainable challenges, ensuring universal, reliable, modern and affordable access to energy services, leaving a positive legacy for generations to come.
