Planejamento estratégico de remoção de sujidades de usina fotovoltaica

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to present a detailed methodology to analyze the efficiency of photovoltaic plants, highlighting how this analysis can be used to optimizing cleaning cycles and in quantifying losses resulting from the accumulation of dirt on panels, which directly impacts the energy production. Using daily generation data, four different cases were examined in the city of Goiânia, comparing solar radiation data measured by an automatic INMET's station with the energy actually generated. This study provides an in-depth understanding of the factors that influence energy generation in the city, presenting a methodology capable of being applicable in different locations. Furthermore, it evaluates the efficiency of the panels in relation to the specifications provided by the manufacturer, allowing a critical analysis of the quality of the installation and its performance in relation to the ideal generation potential. A relevant aspect addressed in this work is the recommendation of the use of measuring equipment such as pyranometers, which are essential for monitoring solar radiation incident directly on the plant, offering crucial insights for effective management and strategic decision-making related to maintenance and improvement of the facilities.
