Abstract(s)
Durante os últimos anos, a descarbonização tornou-se um dos temas centrais do
setor energético. A necessidade de reduzir as emissões de gases com efeito de estufa,
aliada ao impacto crescente das alterações climáticas, fez com que surgissem novas
formas de produção e consumo de energia. Nesse contexto, as comunidades energéticas
renováveis aparecem como uma alternativa inovadora do autoconsumo individual. Para
além disso, a partilha de energia entre os consumidores normalmente resultam em ganhos
bilaterais, o que resulta numa implementação mais eficaz dos recursos renováveis. No
entanto, a escolha entre autoconsumo individual e participação numa comunidade
energética não é trivial, pois envolve fatores técnicos, financeiros e regulatórios que
devem ser cuidadosamente analisados.
O principal objetivo desta dissertação é comparar essas duas abordagens quando
aplicadas a um caso específico. Para isso, foi realizado um estudo detalhado que inclui o
dimensionamento e cálculo da produção de sistemas fotovoltaicos, a simulação de perfis
de consumo e uma análise económica aprofundada. Foram também avaliadas, duas
configurações distintas para a comunidade energética renovável aplicada ao caso
específico, de modo a identificar qual a mais benéfica.
Em última análise, este estudo pode ter utilidade no entendimento das
oportunidades e ameaças trazidas por essas duas abordagens e podendo servir de base
lógica na tomada de decisões na esfera da transição energética e da sustentabilidade.
In recent years, decarbonization has become one of the central topics in the energy sector. The need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, combined with the growing impact of climate change, has led to the emergence of new forms of energy production and consumption. In this context, renewable energy communities appear as an innovative alternative to individual self-consumption. Furthermore, energy sharing among consumers often results in mutual benefits, leading to a more efficient implementation of renewable resources. However, the choice between individual self-consumption and participation in a renewable energy community is not trivial, as it involves technical, financial, and regulatory factors that must be carefully analyzed. The main objective of this dissertation is to compare these two approaches when applied to a specific case. To achieve this, a detailed study was carried out, including the sizing and production calculation of photovoltaic systems, the simulation of consumption profiles, and an in-depth economic analysis. Additionally, two distinct configurations for the renewable energy community applied to the specific case were evaluated to determine which is the most beneficial. Ultimately, this study may contribute to a better understanding of the opportunities and challenges brought by these two approaches, potentially serving as a logical basis for decision-making in the field of energy transition and sustainability.
