The PSR Consulting company director, Jorge Trinkenreich, defended the use of wind energy in Brazil, obtained by the movement of winds. Studies done by the Brazilian Association for Wind Energy (Abeeólica) showed that although the investment in this source of energy is greater than that of traditional thermoelectric power plant, the benefits for the consumer reducing in a substantial manner, the difference in investment.
These benefits are provided by the lower costs of operation from fossil fuels and more efficient use of the reservoir system. The PSR operates in several countries in the energy market since 1987.
The investment cost of a plant divided by the wind energy generated results in a sale price around U.S. $ 205.00 per megawatt hour (MWh), while that of a conventional thermal plant, moved the fuel oil for example, has cost U.S. $ 145.00 per MWh. The difference of $ 60.00 between the two energy sources can reduce to about $ 17.00, considering that the wind plant will generate more energy, and replace the thermal generation, whose high price of fuel has .
"The system will pay less for fuel during generation. This means that consumers, ultimately, will have an advantage because I put a wind in the system that will generate energy at a cost of operation and will void stop generating the fuel oil or natural gas, "explained Jorge Trinkenreich in the interview Agency Brazil. The executive stressed that the figures quoted refer to the difference between the wind power option and the option rather than the conventional thermal effective selling price of energy.
For him, the use of wind energy can be beneficial to the system, and economic, it will operate in conjunction with hydroelectric plants. "And as a reserve, it will replace more polluting energy such as heat the oil and even natural gas, bringing benefit to the system in terms of lower rates to consumers."
