Abstract
Distributed generation is shown as an alternative to the expansion of the consumption of electric energy in the world, besides providing certain benefits as the reduction of investments in transmission and distribution, better reliability and a greater generation of jobs. Renewable energy technologies can be considered as a "clean" form of distributed generation because they do not emit CO2 during their operation. However, the competitiveness of these renewable energy sources in distributed generation is still questionable over conventional forms of power generation. Thus, an economic viability study becomes necessary. This work proposes to carry out an economic viability analysis through a system optimization study, using linear programming methods, considering renewable energy resources (solar energy and wind energy) and by conventional means (electric grid and fuel line), to meet demands for electricity, steam and cold water from a consumer center. The objectives of this work are to present a methodology for system optimization, considering renewable resources and to present results that provide information about the economic impact on the use of renewable resources in energy systems, helping in decision making.
