Microrredes: o conceito através da história, incentivos e o mercado brasileiro

Abstract

In recent years, microgrids have been presented as a way to modernize the electrical network little by little, due to its intelligent control and its decentralized nature, which can be inserted in parts in the electrical system. Its use is capable of increasing system reliability and flexibility, boosting sustainability, among several benefits. The microgrid concept is not so recent, and has also been modernized little by little over time. Several factors influenced this evolution, either driving or stopping this process. Moments in history, as well as the development of new technologies, were important in the biography of these electrical systems. The history of microgrids, however, did not followed a linear path.
