Abstract(s)
São Tomé e Príncipe foi uma colónia portuguesa por mais de 500 anos, mas após a independência e até então, tem atravessado uma crise energética sem precedente e sem fim a vista, o que não tem permitindo o seu desenvolvimento.
Os combustíveis fósseis são a principal fonte de energia primária consumida em São Tomé e Príncipe. Apesar de estar localizado no Golfo da Guiné, uma reconhecida zona petrolífera, até à data o país não é produtor de petróleo, ao contrário dos países vizinhos como a Nigéria, Camarões, Guiné Equatorial e Angola.
O país dispõe de recursos naturais como sol, água, florestas, mas o tipo da política praticada, não tem permitido um melhor aproveitamento das suas potencialidades em benefícios próprios, como uma alternativa aos combustíveis fósseis, na produção da energia elétrica.
O objetivo último deste trabalho desenvolvido ao longo do estágio é avaliar os impactos do recurso solar de São Tomé e Príncipe, em particular a Ilha do Príncipe, através do projeto BESS (Sistema de Armazenamento de Energia em Bateria) a fim de contribuir para uma estratégia de produção de energia, colmatando assim a carência energética que vem sofrendo.
O que se espera, é que São Tomé e Príncipe nesta nova era das renováveis, possa construir um setor energético seguro, eficiente, sustentável e sem dependência de combustíveis fósseis, fazendo uso dos recursos disponíveis localmente, com a necessidade de mudar a fonte de produção da energia elétrica, entre as quais energia fotovoltaico.
São Tome and Principe was a Portuguese colony for over 500 years, but after independence and until then, it has been going through an unprecedented energy crisis with no end in sight, which has not allowed its development. Fossil fuels are the main source of primary energy consumed in São Tomé and Príncipe. Despite being located in the Gulf of Guinea, a recognized oil zone, to date the country is not an oil producer, unlike neighboring countries such as Nigeria, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and Angola. The country has natural resources such as sun, water, forests, but the type of policy used has not allowed for a better use of its potential for its own benefits, as an alternative to fossil fuels, in the production of electricity. The ultimate objective of this work developed during the internship is to evaluate the impacts of the solar resource of São Tome and Principe, in private Principe island, through the BESS project (Battery Energy Storage System) in order to contribute to a strategy production of energy, thus filling the energy shortage that has been suffering. What is expected is that São Tomé and Príncipe, in this new era of renewables, can build a safe, efficient, sustainable energy sector without dependence on fossil fuels, making use of locally available resources, with the need to change the source of production electricity, including photovoltaic energy.
