This paper evaluates the benefits of hybridizing a plant using an AI-based methodology for optimizing the wind–solar ratio based on the Brazilian regulatory system. For this study, the hybrid plant was modeled using data collected over a period of 10 months.
Large scale wind energy in Brazil began in 2009, and hundreds of new wind farms have been installed since then. Large scale solar PV energy had an initial milestone in 2014, signalling that the technology can grow as much as wind energy. This study demonstrated the great potential for the deployment of centralized wind-PV hybrid power plants.
Wind and solar potentials are high in Brazil and are being recently explored. There are geographic location coincidences and wind-solar energy complementarity. Currently, there are no specific policies for hybrid energy projects in Brazil. Wind-solar development points to the advantages of combined centralized generation.
This work aims to present wind and solar photovoltaic energy development and its regulatory framework in Brazil, and demonstrate the potential for centralized hybrid generation. Official studies, research reports, and thematic maps were consulted, and two pilot hybrid plants were studied.
Wind and solar energy have stood out in recent years because of the growth of global installed capacity. This work aims to present wind and solar photovoltaic energy development and its regulatory framework in Brazil, and demonstrate the potential for centralized hybrid generation.
Abstract The onshore generation of wind and solar energy is a reality in Brazil. There are approximately 700 projects generating wind energy in the Northeast and South regions and 4000 generating solar energy distributed throughout the country.
In Brazil, there is a need for more renewable electricity generation; great potential for hybrid projects due to the complementarity of resources, and great potential for hybrid projects due to the established higher performance and synergy of such projects. The current regulatory framework does not support hybrid projects.
