Abstract
In Brazil, the use of photovoltaic solar energy has been highlighted since the 70's. Starting in 2012, with ANEEL's normative resolution nº 482/2012, Brazilian consumers can generate their own electricity and supply the surplus to the energy distribution grids of their region. In this context, there is a constant search to develop technologies that optimize the efficiency to capture the solar radiation. The superior goal of this project is to study the viability of implementing a solar power station with 50 [MW] of installed capacity in the city of Itajubá (MG), using the most commonly technologies nowadays: the solar trackers. Such devices work guiding the solar panel in order to ensure the longest incidence of direct radiation, and it can be performed using of one or two orientation axes. In addition, this work going to comparatively evaluate the use of single axis solar trackers and two orientation axes in the plant. Then it going to validate the technology with better application feasibility in the region.
