Fontes renováveis: desenvolvimento de um sistema híbrido de geração de energia com motores elétricos acoplados

Abstract

The search for renewable and sustainable energy sources is a global priority, driven by the need to reduce the environmental impacts caused by the use of fossil fuels. In this context, the development of hybrid energy generation systems, which combine different renewable technologies, emerges as a promising solution to overcome challenges such as intermittency and dependence on weather conditions. This work proposes the integration of electric motors coupled with renewable sources, such as solar and wind, aiming to increase the efficiency and reliability of the system. The project methodology spans from the conception and modeling phase to the construction of a prototype, practical testing, and data analysis. The first stage involved the identification of reusable electronic and mechanical components, such as inkjet printer parts, which were adapted to function as part of the hybrid system. These components, often discarded as electronic waste, were integrated into the system to promote sustainability and reduce waste. The developed prototype included electric motors coupled with generators based on solar and wind energy, as well as an energy storage system to ensure a continuous power supply. Theoretical modeling indicated that the hybrid system has the potential to generate electricity efficiently and stably, even under variable operating conditions. Practical tests confirmed the system's viability, demonstrating its ability to operate consistently and reliably. The reuse of electronic components, such as printer parts, combined with the integration of renewable sources, brings significant environmental and social benefits. In addition to reducing electronic waste, the hybrid system can provide affordable and sustainable energy to remote communities or those with limited access to electricity. This innovative approach expands the potential of renewable sources, contributing to the energy transition and the mitigation of climate change
