Custos logísticos dos equipamentos dos parques eólicos: estudo de caso

Abstract

This research project aimed to study the challenges related to sustainability of logistics costs to the economic sustainable development by the deployment of wind towers in Brazil. The country has the need to expand the energy matrix and for this important growth invests in cleaner energy. New technologies are developed for power generation from renewable sources and Brazil is still very dependent on hydroelectric energy with the aggravation of water problems observed in the last decade, the shortage of water for hydroelectric power generation in Brazil has been compromised. The rulers, needing to meet the need for resources to meet the needs of the population, and economic and social growth. Studies and research in wind engineering, always showed the gigantic features of the equipment, their quality and their importance, bias and its drawbacks. However are not easily identified the various costs involved that allow the construction of a wind farm, forwarding to this context, it was in this dissertation a differentiated approach, seeking to identify for analytical sampling the logistic costs driven by the regional difference of structures where large manufacturers are in southeastern Brazil or abroad and the parks intended for the generation of wind energy are largely established in the North and northeast of Brazil. The study of sustainable economic development of these parks often focuses on energy generation and not in the formation of the parks. By studying a wind farm, the logistics of wind equipment interesting part of review and sought by means of this study verify gaps that may influence the economic sustainability in the construction of a wind farm.
