Influência da variação dos volumes dos reservatórios na geração de energia: estudo quantitativo dos reservatórios localizados na bacia do Rio Paranaíba

Abstract

The construction of a reservoir provides economic and social benefits, but even with effective management, the change in volume is one of the factors that affects both the quality and quantity of water, causing reduction in the generation of hydroelectric power. This present Final Graduation Project (TCC) intends to analyze the relevant factors contributing to the variation in reservoir volumes interconnected to hydroelectric plants located in the Paranaiba River basin in the period 2000 and 2021. The environment, climate, temperature, humidity, evaporation, precipitation, and flow are some of the aspects that affects the characterization of the variation in the volume of a reservoir. The methodology used in the research is based on historical operating, geographic information, and capacity of the reservoirs, from documents originated queries from government institutions. The findings and conclusions of this study point to the contribution of a debate about the efficiency of reservoir production capacity considering the factors that depend on it for their maintenance.
