Renewable energy sources insertion in a timber industry — Case study

The objective of this paper is to analyze the technical and economical viability of the insertion of two renewable energy sources in a timber industry. It proposes a hybrid system PV/Wind/Grid, following the concepts of Distributed Generation (DG). It is presented the local energy profile, and the response of the equipment selected for these features. It also presents two case studies that would facilitate the adoption of renewable energy solutions in the national energy scene. It uses Homer Energy software to analyze all relevant costs and define the best association between the proposed sources.
