▼ Bulk Hetero-Junction - (BHJ) - Organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells based on the conjugated polymer poly (3-hexylthiophene-2, 5- diyl) (region-P3HT) also referred to as P3HT and a fullerene derivative [6, 6] Phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (C60-PCBM) also referred to as PCBM. The optimization, realization and characterization of these cells were done on both glass and aluminium substrates. The aluminium provided a flexible substrate for the cells whilst the glass provided a rigid substrate and acted as a control. The thin films for the solar cells were deposited by means of the spin coating method. The integrity of the starting materials were evaluated using Fourier Transform infra-red (FTIR) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy whilst the particle size and distribution, were examined using XRD spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The electrical characterization was done using a 4-point probe and gas sensing methods. The morphology and roughness of the local composition of TiO2 thin films before and after annealing were evaluation by means of atomic force microscopy (AFM). The study eventually evaluated the effects of blend ratio and annealing temperature on photo-absorption of the blends. Blend ratios examined in the study fell within the range of 1:0.8 to 1:1 by weight of P3HT to PCBM. The range was divided into 11 intervals with a step increment of 0.02 for PCBM while P3HT was kept constant. The optimum blend ratio was determined and found to be 1:0.96 at 130 °C annealing temperature and duration of 30 minutes. The annealing temperature dependence of each blend ratio with respect to photon-absorbance was found not to be symmetric but random. Each blend ratio was found to have own optimum annealing temperature. The efficiency of the cells was enhanced by the use of TiO2 thin film as a back reflector and optical spacer on aluminium substrate. The study compared the performance of cells on glass substrate to those on aluminium substrate. The cells built on aluminium substrate showed a power conversion efficiency of 2.8 % whilst those on glass substrate showed 1.9 % efficiency. The main objective of the study was to determine the optimum blend ratio, the optimum annealing temperature, and to eventually build solar cells from the optimized parameters.

▼ The current energy scenario in the developing nations with abundant sun resource (e.g. southern Mediterranean countries of Europe, Middle-East & North Africa) relies mainly on fossil fuels to supply the increasing energy demand. Although this long adopted pattern ensures electricity availability on demand at all times through the least cost proven technology, it is highly unsustainable due to its drastic impacts on depletion of resources, environmental emissions and electricity prices. Solar thermal Hybrid power plants among all other renewable energy technologies have the potential of replacing the central utility model of conventional power plants, the understood integration of solar thermal technologies into existing conventional power plants shows the opportunity of combining low cost reliable power and Carbon emission reduction. A literature review on the current concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies and their suitability for integration into conventional power cycles was concluded, the best option was found be in the so called Integrated solar combined cycle systems (ISCCS); the plant is built and operated like a normal combined cycle, with a solar circuit consisting of central tower receiver and heliostat field adding heat to the bottoming Rankine cycle. A complete model of the cycle was developed in TRNSYS simulation software and Matlab environment, yearly satellite solar insolation data was used to study the effect of integrating solar power to the cycle throw-out the year. A multi objective thermo economic optimization analysis was conducted in order to identify a set of optimum design options. The optimization has shown that the efficiency of the combined cycle can be increased resulting in a Levelized electricity cost in the range of 10 -14 USDcts /Kwh_e. The limit of annual solar share realized was found to be around 7 % The results of the study indicate that ISCCS offers advantages of higher efficiency, low cost reliable power and on the same time sends a green message by reducing the environmental impacts in our existing power plant systems.

▼ Held every two years in Washington DC and run by the US Department of Energy the Solar Decathlon is a competition that challenges architecture and engineering students from all over the world to come up with new and innovative ways to design and construct low energy homes. For the first time in the competition’s history a team from New Zealand was selected to compete in the 2011 competition. This thesis documents the design process of the First Light house from concept to construction focusing on the relationship between energy and architecture in a New Zealand home designed for the Solar Decathlon. The challenge for the young architects and engineers competing in the competition is to develop ways of reducing energy consumption and to raise awareness of the energy saving benefits of highly efficient home design to the public. Despite this being the underlying philosophy, this thesis suggests that the competition is structured in a way that rewards technology over passive design innovation in architecture. A typical Solar Decathlon house is epitomized by a large solar array generating the power needing to run an oversized mechanical system. The New Zealand entry challenges this trend with the design of a home that is focused on ways to improve passive strategies for reducing energy use first before relying on technology. The question is whether a home designed with this philosophy in mind can still meet the strict requirements set out in the ten contests embedded in the Solar Decathlon? Designing a home to meet these requirements was also, in many ways, contradictory to the house’s philosophy. The conceptual driver of the First Light house was the iconic ‘kiwi bach.’ Commonly defined as “something you built yourself, on land you don’t own, out of materials you borrowed or stole,” the bach gives a unique model of comfort and how people might live in a space. Its values are associated with a relationship with the outdoors, a focus on the social aspects of the home and a simple use of technology. As the project developed it was also apparent ‘the bach’, if it were used all year round, could become a symbol for the current state of many New Zealand homes; cold, damp, unhealthy and wasteful of energy. Finding ways to improve this while maintaining the essence of the bach became one of the major motivations throughout the design process. The challenge with this was that the goals associated with designing a ‘kiwi bach’ for a New Zealand climate were, in many ways, conflicting with the requirements of the Solar Decathlon competition. Using comprehensive thermal modelling the First Light house was designed as a net zero energy home that could meet the requirements of two quite unique briefs for two distinctly different climates. Throughout this thesis the often contradictory relationship between the First Light house as a Solar Decathlon entry and the First Light house as an energy efficient ‘kiwi bach’ is explained. Broken into three parts the thesis looks at the passive design of the home and the optimization of the… Advisors/Committee Members: Vale, Brenda, Vale, Robert.

▼ The Group for Solar Energy Thermodynamics (GSET) is in the process of commissioning the Solar Energy Research Amplified Flux Facility (SERAFF), which is South Africa’s first solar furnace facility. SERAFF is situated at the University of KwaZulu-Natal’s Howard College campus and assumes an on-axis optical configuration, comprising a 9 m2 non-focusing heliostat reflector, a 3 m diameter paraboloidal dish concentrator and a test article platform. The facility was designed to aid research in the fields of high temperature materials testing, concentrating solar energy and solar thermochemistry. The concentrated radiative energy output of a solar furnace establishes the energy input to prototype receivers, reactors or materials that aim to be tested using the facility. The challenge is compounded by the temporal and spatial variation of SERAFF’s radiative energy output, influenced by weather-related and geometric factors. In this study, an indirect spatial flux mapping system is developed to characterise SERAFF’s spatial radiative energy output. SERAFF’s theoretical spatial radiative energy output is estimated through Monte Carlo ray-tracing techniques to provide benchmark performance parameters including total thermal power output, peak concentration ratio and focal spot size. The indirect system uses optical measurement techniques, in which spatial solar flux is measured via diffuse reflection off a Lambertian target using a digital CMOS camera through a neutral density filter and lens. Pixel intensities are calibrated against reference measurements acquired from a circular-foil Gardon gauge heat flux transducer. The calibrated CMOS camera can be used to measure values of radiative flux, incident at the focal plane from 0 kW/m2 - 468.19 kW/m2. Measurements were restricted to a brief testing period and are not representative of SERAFF’s peak operating conditions. Spatial flux measurements indicated a thermal power output of 3.83 kW, with a corresponding peak solar flux of 227.8 kW/m2 within a focal diameter of 250 mm. The study demonstrated successful integration of an indirect spatial flux mapping system into the SERAFF solar furnace. Advisors/Committee Members: Brooks, Michael John.

▼ Abstract: This work presents the synthesis of carboxylated molecules and their use as compatibilizer agents in hybrid inorganic/organic systems. Characterization and application of the interfaces of those hybrid systems comprising titanium dioxide with poly(3-hexylthiophene) (TiO2/P3HT) and monocrystalline silicon with poly(3-hexylthiophene) (Si/P3HT) will also be described. In the former system, TiO2/P3HT, the TiO2 surface was modified with three molecules: 2-thiophenecarboxylic acid (TCA), 2-thiopheneacetic acid (TAA) and 2,4- thiophenedicarboxylic acid (TDA). Transient Absorption Spectroscopy (TAS) photophysical studies and contact angle measurements demonstrated that TAA presents the best compatibility in the interface. Solar cells modified with TAA, set up in inverted configuration, showed 0.03% of overall energy conversion efficiency, which is three times larger than the one obtained from a standard device. Replacing TAA by N719 dye on TiO2 surface increased the efficiency, achieving values higher than 1%. Inserting TiO2 rod-shaped nanoparticles (TiO2 NB/TAA) on P3HT layer of the latter system resulted in 1.35% overall efficiency. Photoelectrochemical experiments demonstrated that this modification using TiO2 NB/TAA increases exciton separation rate and conductivity properties slightly enhanced compared to spherical nanoparticles (TiO2 NE/TAA). Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) showed that TiO2 NB/TAA and TiO2 NE nanoparticles are homogeneously distributed in the P3HT matrix. In the Si/P3HT hybrid system, the inorganic/organic interface was modified through chemical adsorption of TAA molecules on the native oxide (Si/SiOx/TAA) and a reaction of the surface Si-Cl groups with Grignard reagent 2-thiophene-magnesium bromide (Si/Tiofeno). Both reactions were characterized using Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The contribution of P3HT to the p-n junction formation in the photovoltaic device was evaluated from a comparison with a Schottky junction (Al/Si/Au). The VOC values obtained with P3HT were similar among the experiments (around 0.4 V) and higher than without the polymer (around 0.2 V). This observation highlights the dominance of Si/P3HT for photovoltaic properties. The Si/SiOx/TAA device exhibited a high series resistance, with energy conversion efficiency lower than 0.5%. However, using Al/Si/Tiofeno/P3HT/Au configuration, the solar cells reached 5.76% efficiency. The higher values might be related to a better adhesion and compatibility between Si and P3HT, which was observed from SEM images Advisors/Committee Members: UNIVERSIDADE ESTADUAL DE CAMPINAS (CRUESP), Nogueira, Ana Flávia, 1973- (advisor), Universidade Estadual de Campinas.

▼ A promising and novel solar concentrator design has been thoroughly investigated and optimised. A prototype concentrator based on this novel geometry was validated using ray tracing techniques. This ray tracing demonstrated the comparative performance of this novel concentrator in regards to equivalent parabolic dishes. The effect of mirror surface normal errors on performance was established using Monte-Carlo based ray tracing code, which agreed well with the optical performance of this prototype which was determined experimentally. A need for low-cost solar cookers to replace bio-mass worldwide was identified, and the concentrator design was then developed as a low-cost solar oven. Despite existing in some number, no current design is able to achieve high performance at low-cost. An industrial partner, Dytecna, was initially involved in the process of this development of the system as a solar cooker. In support of a field trial for the solar cooker developed with Dytecna, a detailed thermal model of the oven was developed. A low-cost lightmeter was constructed and calibrated in order to measure the direct normal irradiance during the field trial in Italy. Laboratory work provided baseline results for the heating of various thermal masses in the oven. The Italian field trials provided a wealth of feedback into the design of the system and many valuable results. The solar cooker was able to bring 0.75L of water to the boil in 33 minutes with an average heat throughput of 203W. Important benchmark results and practical experience of several competing receiver materials was obtained; further lab testing provided more accurate measurements of the receivers' performances. The experiences of the Italian field trial were fed back into the design of a subsequent prototype, intended for a much larger field trial in Tanzania. Improvements in the hotplate, receiver material, and the oven were all incorporated into the design. Additionally, the structure of the solar cooker was redesigned to incorporate a low-cost wooden construction. Supporting work was conducted for the month long trial in which 8 solar cookers would be distributed to families in Tanzania. The field trial in Tanzania provided a wealth of user feedback into the design. At the same time the new solar cooker exceeded previously established performances in Italy. The new design was able to provide an average of 246W of heat to 1kg of water, which was brought to boiling point in 25 minutes. This represents a heating efficiency of 66% compared to the incident solar flux on the hotplate. In response to findings during the Tanzanian trials, further laboratory work was conducted into establishing the reflectivities of low-cost candidate mirror materials. Throughout all phases of the project the design of the solar cooker was refined and improved with the goal of a solar cooker design that could reach price-point, performance, and usability standards which would ensure market success.

▼ Many local governments across the United States are experiencing a new political willingness and drive to create sustainable energy goals. While this marks a very positive shift towards a more sustainable future, those agencies are finding that there still exist many barriers along the path towards meeting their energy goals. This study investigates solar collaborative procurement as a means for local governments to confront the barriers they face in trying to achieve solar photovoltaic (PV) adoption. Market Identification research conducted in this study was designed to identify future participants of the Sustainable Energy & Economic Development Fund (SEED Fund), a program run by this study’s client organization, Strategic Energy Innovations. The SEED Fund is a solar collaborative procurement program for public agencies that utilizes a revolving fund to offset the upfront costs associated with solar PV adoption. Employing “lessons learned” from former solar collaborative procurement projects, this study designed a methodology with which market identification research was performed. The goal was to identify geographical regions where SEED Fund might find a receptive market for their services. Four iterative approaches were applied to develop this market research: 1. A literature review on solar markets in the US; 2. A filtering methodology was created to identify regions with the highest likelihood of successful participation in a collaborative procurement effort; 3. Interviews were conducted on public agencies identified by the filtering process; 4. Surveys were sent to additional agencies within counties that the filtering process identified. This methodology successfully identified regions that have strong potential for engagement in a solar collaborative procurement effort, including Los Angeles and San Diego Counties in California, and Larimer County in Colorado. While these three counties have shown strong interest in the collaborative approach to solar adoption, Los Angeles’ interest was particularly keen. LA has indicated that they may want to move forward with participation in the SEED Fund program much sooner than this study had anticipated. Due to this enthusiasm, work is currently underway to establish Round 2 of the SEED Fund in the Los Angeles area. This practicum study appears to have been effective at 1) Creating an effective market identification method and 2) using this method to identify market actors for the SEED Fund to pursue in the near future. If acted on, this study could lead to a significant expansion of public solar PV, especially in Southern California. Additionally, the methodology developed in this study has established a durable mechanism by which new regions can be identified for collaborative procurement in the future.

M.Eng.

The need and problem was originated from the trends of the earths dwindling energy resource. As time progresses humans are becoming more aware of need to use so called “alternative energy sources” to alleviate the main energy converters i.e. power stations. The student was tasked with investigating the thermal performance of a solar powered refrigeration cycle (prototype) that could: produce enough refrigeration effect that it replaces the standard home vapour compression unit, used for cooling or freezing of foods, heats up a geyser sufficiently to have hot water for a common house hold, has excess energy to heat or cool liquid or air based environments and has the potential to lower the electrical bill of a house. The introductory step was to obtain the thermo fluid properties of aqua ammonia solutions. A setback came about when determining the aqua ammonia properties. There were too many conflicting properties being yielded by six different authors. In an attempt to gain confidence in only one author a comparison table was prepared. The table compared the six authors to each other. By looking at all the values compared it brought great clarity to the problem. When continuing the research into the fundamental law approach of solving for the cycle new findings were made. Initially very little comprehensive studies were done which explained in fundamental laws to solve for the absorption cycle. After extensive reviewing of a detailed study on how to solve for absorption refrigeration cycles, then it was able to begin improving on the thermo – fluid design of the cycle. As cycle and component design began to progress the train of thought began to steer in a direction. Each component needed to be detail designed. The advantage of having each component specifically catered for in the cycle design was that it would increase the cycle efficiency. In this way it would ensure that during the concept generation phase the functioning of each component was clear, thereby enabling a clear understanding of how components would compliment each other in a cycle. A mode of solving for the cycle was to endeavour that all parameters could be calculated unambiguously, with the aid of computerisation. Testing was carried out on a real life commercial thermal siphoning machine in order to realistically understand how absorption refrigeration works and gain experience. At the end of the study the most important result is that the dissertation research shows strong evidence that it will be possible to create a device which can fulfil the four tasks listed above. Another result is a program which is a refined cycle design of the pump absorption type refrigeration. The program solves for points along the cycle. Lastly it was found that even though EES was the simpler program to use for aqua ammonia solution properties it was the only program which catered for sub cooling and super heating.

▼ Energy is very important in our life. Materials are essential to the realization of energy generation, conversion and storage. My thesis research is directed at the development of new nanostructured materials for effectively harvesting solar energy. It involves primarily chemistry-based bottom-up approaches, which are particularly attractive for the nanostructure synthesis due to their scalability, low cost and controllability. In particular, the low temperature hydro(solvo)thermal technique coupled with morphology conserved transformation routes was adopted for preparing many of the nanomaterials in my work since it is a facile, low cost, and environmentally benign technique amenable to large-scale production The thesis is divided into nine chapters. Chapter 1 surveys the current literature and outlines motivation and scope of the work. Chapter 2 introduces experimanet techniques. Major findings of the study are discussed in Chapters 3 through 8, with conclusions and outlooks summarized in Chapter 9. In chapter 1, I give a general introduction of this thesis on i) the significance of energy generation, mainly emphasizing on dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs); ii) advanced functional electrode materials for DSSCs; iii) developing strategies for preparing useful 1D and hierarchically porous nanomaterials, and most importantly, iv) the objectives of the thesis. Chapter 2 introduces experimental techniques used in my work. In chapter 3 a superstructure of meso/micro-porous single-crystalline ZnO nanoplates is created by controlled thermal decomposition of a nanoplate precursor prepared from a hydrothermal process. This unique porous nanoplate structure has proved to be an excellent candidate for constructing photoanodes of low-cost and high-performance dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC). In Chapter 4 I report on the use of different sized TiO₂ nanospindles to construct a double-layered photoanode for dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). One layer made of larger nanospindles serves to enhance light scattering and the other consisting of smaller nanospindles acts to increase the roughness factor for efficient dye-adsorption. The two-layer structure with size-varied, single-crystalline TiO₂ nanospindles has demonstrated over 8.3% energy conversion efficiency. This was made possible by our successful large-scale synthesis of size-tunable, single-crystalline anatase TiO₂ nanospindles. In Chapter 5 the work embarks upon three levels of undertaking ranging from nanomaterials synthesis to assembly and functionalization. Firstly, I have prepared size-tunable anatase TiO₂ nanospindles via a hydrothermal process by using tubular titanates as self-sacrificing precursors. Secondly, I have densely dispersed the TiO₂ nanospindles onto functional graphene oxides (GO) via a spontaneous self-assembly process. After annealing of the TiO₂/GO hybrid nanocomposite in an NH₃ gas flow, the TiO₂ surface was effectively nitridated and the GO was reduced to…

▼ PV/Thermal technology is the combination of solar thermal and photovoltaics - two mature and widely understood technologies. Combining the two technologies complicates existing standardized rating procedures and performance modeling methods. Currently a standardized performance test method does not exist for PV/Thermal (PV/T) panels. Existing and developing PV/T panels are commonly tested using separate standardized solar thermal and photovoltaic test procedures. Solar thermal performance is rated in terms of temperature difference whereas photovoltaic performance is dependent on absolute temperature level. The thermal and electrical performance of a PV/T panel is, however, coupled so performance equations derived using traditional test methods may not accurately reflect the performance of a combined PV/T panel over a wide range of conditions. The purpose of this work was to develop an efficiency equation for a PV/T panel which can be derived from a minimal amount of empirical test data and still accurately predict its thermal and electrical performance over a wide range of conditions. To accomplish this, a quasi- 3-dimensional steady-state model of a sheet-and-tube PV/T collector was developed and used to generate a broad data set from which a simplified PV/T performance equation was developed. Using this numerically generated data set, and introducing additional coefficients into the traditional solar thermal performance characteristic, a modified PV/T efficiency equation was derived which expressed the electrical and thermal efficiency in terms of ambient temperature, incident solar irradiation and the temperature difference between the inlet fluid and the ambient. It was also shown, for the case studied, that the efficiency equation can be produced from as few as 6 data points and still accurately predicts the performance at a wide range of operating conditions. A TRNSYS [1] model was developed to demonstrate how the performance equation can be used to simulate the annual performance of a PV/T collector in a domestic hot water system. It was shown that a performance equation, derived from 6 data points, performed as well as a performance map which used over 1000 data points. The annual thermal and electrical production predicted by both models was within 1.5% of each other. The PV/T efficiency equations were also shown to perform well for a range of electrical parameters, thermal properties and substrate thermal conductivity values. Future work is recommended to validate the PV/T performance equation using real empirically derived data for a range of collector designs.

▼ Energy storage by chemical looping steam/dry reforming is a promising alternative for the utilization of solar energy in the industrial and transport sectors. Efficient oxygen carriers with a facile and scalable synthesis method are crucial to achieve economic competitiveness for this solar thermochemical process. In this thesis, a comprehensive overview of solar chemical looping reforming is provided and the state of the art research of its associated oxygen carriers is discussed. Improvement in syngas yields and production rates in solar chemical looping reforming were then explored via morphological and structural enhancements of the oxygen carriers. Firstly, the impact of ceria structural features on its syngas production performance during two-step isothermal redox cycles for four different nano and micro morphologies was investigated. Highly porous flame-made agglomerates composed of small crystalline particles were determined as the best performing morphology with initial production rates of H2 and CO up to 167% higher than that of commercial sub-micro ceria. Upon 10 isothermal redox cycles at 1173 K, these flame-made structures still maintained at up to 57% faster production rates. It was shown that the high porosity of the flame-made agglomerates was important in inhibiting sintering and grain growth. Notably, higher specific surface area flower-like morphologies collapsed and densified rapidly, and exhibited the slowest kinetics. These findings provide a robust set of structural properties to engineer efficient materials for enhanced solar fuel production by high temperature thermochemical cycles. Secondly, a first-time investigation of using an earth-abundant manganese-based oxygen carrier in solar chemical looping dry methane reforming was demonstrated. It revealed a manganese carbide/oxide redox cycle that resulted in high mass-specific syngas yields and production rates when the oxygen carrier's matrix was incorporated with fractional amount of cerium ions. In particular, 15 times higher CO2 splitting rates than the undoped manganese oxide, and also 8 times higher CO yields than cerium oxide was achieved. The long-term performance with 100 cycles revealed that this is not a short-lived enhancement and that the synergetic contribution by cerium ions were highlighted. A thorough investigation of this manganese carbide/oxide redox mechanism was experimentally pursued further with a series of custom-synthesized Ce-Mn oxygen carriers via solar chemical looping steam methane reforming cycles. Interesting discoveries of 3% Ce suggest the intense surface distribution of ceria-rich nanoparticles that efficiently dissociate the chemisorbed species into H2 and CO during methane reforming and water splitting. Additionally, the abundance of Ce ions in the bulk lattice effectively unlock…

Solar photovoltaic energy technology is increasingly implemented in response to continuously growing global energy needs. While legacy technology utilizing silicon has captured much of the market, thin-film solar modules are projected to rise particularly in the U.S. production sector. Current materials utilized in production and deployment encounter resource and environmental impact constraints. This research investigates the viably controllable synthesis of multi-crystalline copper bismuth sulfide for potential use as an absorber layer in thin-film solar cells and early investigation of thin-film growth parameters which may enable a cost-effective route to full scale production of epitaxial copper bismuth sulfide films. The first step of this investigation has entailed a novel route for the solvo-thermally grown Cu3BiS3 films facilitated by L-cystine as a sulfur donating and complexing agent. In the characterization of the nanoparticulate product UV-VIS spectra were analyzed via the Tauc method of bandgap interpolation. The validity of the Tauc method in application to polycrystalline films has been investigated and proven to be robust for the material class. This justifies the bandgap assessment of the subject material and provides support for wider use of the method. With the synthesis method established, the reaction was transferred to a custom built continuous flow reactor to explore this process and help understand its capabilities and limits with respect to producing single layers for an eventual photovoltaic cell stack. Though the published work has established novel chemistry, the need to deposit and/or grow a functional p-type layer for further characterization and eventual device incorporation is key to the material evolution. First evidence of continuous flow micro-reactor deposition of Cu3BiS3 has been shown with an array of resulting microstructures. The grown microstructures are evaluated with relevance to prior synthesis laboratory procedure and recommendations are made for continuing the pursuit of a functional Cu3BiS3 coating mediated by L-cystine in a continuous flow micro-reactor.

Este trabalho propõe caracterizar a complementaridade espacial-temporal entre energia eólica e solar fotovoltaica entre regiões do Brasil e estudar, no âmbito da comercialização de energia elétrica no Setor Elétrico Brasileiro - SEB, se um portfólio formado por estas fontes trazem vantagens econômicas relevantes para o investidor. Para atender a estes objetivos, foram estudados métodos para tratamento dos dados como a correção da irradiância solar, cálculo da energia gerada pelas fontes estudadas, o ambiente de contratação de energia elétrica no Brasil, métodos de otimização e modelos de análise de risco para contratação de energia no mercado livre de energia. A metodologia proposta para responder as questões colocadas foi aplicada em um estudo de caso envolvendo três regiões brasileiras em um horizonte de dez anos. Concluiu-se que existe a complementaridade energética entre as fontes nas diferentes regiões estudadas e em diferentes períodos de tempo. Confirmou-se que tecnicamente pode-se reduzir a oscilação na geração de energia analisando as fontes de forma complementar, porém, o custo de instalação da fonte fotovoltaica ainda é muito alto, inviabilizando até o momento investimentos em larga escala e de forma complementar a fonte eólica. Também verificou-se, dentro dos locais avaliados, que somente um dos três locais apresentou benefício econômico-financeiro com a formação de portfólio das fontes eólica e solar atuando no mercado de venda de energia e atendendo os critérios de risco limite estabelecidos quando avaliadas segundo a ótica da maximização da receita no mercado livre.

This thesis proposes to characterize the spatial-temporal complementarity between wind and solar photovoltaic energy between regions of Brazil and study, in the marketing of electricity in the Brazilian Electrical Sector - SEB, a portfolio formed by these sources bring significant economic benefits to the investor. To meet these goals, methods for data processing were studied as correction of solar irradiance calculation of the energy generated by the sources studied, the environment of contracting electricity in Brazil, optimization methods and models for risk analysis for contracting energy in the free energy market. The proposed methodology to answer the questions was applied in a case study involving three Brazilian regions with a horizon of ten years time series. It was concluded that there is complementarity between energy sources in the different regions studied and in different time periods. It was confirmed that technically can reduce the fluctuation in power generation by analyzing the complement of sources, however, the installation cost of photovoltaic power is still too high, preventing yet large-scale investments and complementary way the source wind. Also it was found within the sites evaluated, only one of the three sites presented economic and financial benefit by the portfolio of wind and solar sources acting in the sale of energy market and considering the risk criteria limit established when evaluated according to…
