Inclusion of Energy Storage for Time-Shift

Abstract

The main purpose of this article is to show some guidelines for the inclusion of energy storage techniques, as an alternative to the use of diesel generators, in order to obtain savings in the energy bills due to the high tariffs at the times of greater load in the electrical system. A brief explanation of the equipment used for this purpose is present in the text, as well as considerations about electric energy pricing in force in Brazil. In the end, it can be seen that, with government incentives, such as reduction or exemption from taxes, or with the reduction of costs due to the technological development of the equipment, the insertion of these techniques becomes economically viable.
