Microrrede em Campus Universitário: Desenvolvimento e Implantação da CampusGRID

Abstract

This article addresses the developments and challenges encountered while implementing the CampusGRID microgrid, one of the main objectives of the research and development project "MERGE: Development of Efficient, Reliable, and Sustainable Microgrids." Located on the UNICAMP campus in Campinas, this microgrid was designed to operate both connected to the grid and in isolated mode. Its resources include a battery energy storage system, a natural gas generator, intelligent electrical panels capable of load segregation, photovoltaic generation systems, an electric bus charging station, and a control center for supervision and monitoring. Implementing the microgrid represents a significant advancement in microgrids, offering an innovative and sustainable solution for energy supply in university environments. It is expected that this microgrid will not only contribute to energy efficiency and supply security but also serve as an inspiring model for future microgrid projects in educational institutions and other sectors.
