Abstract:
The accelerated expansion of micro and mini distributed generation (MMGD), associated with the net metering system (SCEE), have a negative impact on power distribution companies and consumers who do not have this type of technology. In recent years, Brazilian Electricity Agency – ANEEL has been seeking changes to Normative Resolution nº. 482 of 2012 in order to provide a more balanced and fair environment. However, the Agency's difficulty in achieving this result is clear. From this context and, aiming to contribute to regulatory improvements, but, exploring alternatives not yet discussed in the public debate environment promoted by the regulatory agency, this dissertation proposes, using the economic market model “TAROT – Optimized Tariff”, to evaluate business scenarios sustainable MMGD for the “Shared Generation” type - that is, this work isolates a specific type of MMGD and assesses sustainable business scenarios. The relevance, justification and contribution of this research lies in the search for sustainable alternatives for the development of MMGD and, at the same time, the electric energy distribution segment. To achieve this objective, extensive national and international research were carried out, choosing to evaluate business models implemented in other countries: a model based on the concept of “Solar Community” was chosen. Several modeling was carried out, based on real data from a utility, exploring different scenarios, the results of which were favorable to the implementation of this type of business in Brazil.
