Resumo
A utilização da energia eólica no Brasil tem sido um ponto de interesse de
iniciativas privada e pública nas duas últimas décadas, devido ao elevado potencial
de implementação e disponibilidade de vento em terra e alto-mar. A energia eólica,
especialmente offshore, é considerada uma das fontes mais promissoras de energia
“limpa”. A disponibilidade do recurso eólico é superior e tende a ser mais estável em
ambientes marinhos, ocasionando maior produtividade na geração de eletricidade,
quando comparada às regiões terrestres. A dependência do clima e de equipamentos
de grandes dimensões que impõem restrições específicas nas áreas de instalação,
como transporte e içamento, acarreta maiores complexidades durante o planejamento
e instalação dos parques eólicos offshore. Este trabalho tem como objetivo
compreender o processo de evolução da tecnologia e os benefícios dos parques
eólicos offshore implementados em outros países, tais como os alocados na Europa
e Ásia, e relacionar as dificuldades e vantagens para a implementação no Brasil. A
metodologia foi baseada em levantamento de dados científicos publicados em
periódicos internacionais com política de revisão por pares. Com a implementação de
parques eólicos offshore o país poderá desempenhar um papel fundamental no
desenvolvimento sustentável e na diversificação da matriz energética do país. O Brasil
possui uma extensa costa com grande potencial para a geração de energia eólica no
mar. Essas áreas litorâneas oferecem ventos fortes e constantes, o que torna a
exploração da energia eólica offshore uma opção altamente viável e eficiente. Ao
reduzir a dependência de fontes de energia não renováveis, como o petróleo e o
carvão, o Brasil fortalece sua resiliência e diminui os riscos associados a flutuações
nos preços e disponibilidade desses recursos. Essa fonte de energia renovável e limpa
desempenha um papel crucial na transição para um sistema energético mais
sustentável, reduzindo as emissões de gases de efeito estufa e impulsionando o
desenvolvimento econômico.
The use of wind energy in Brazil has been a point of interest for private and public initiatives in the last two decades, due to the high potential for implementation and availability of wind on land and at sea. Wind energy, especially offshore, is considered one of the most promising sources of “clean” energy. The availability of the wind resource is higher and tends to be more stable in marine environments, leading to greater productivity in electricity generation when compared to terrestrial regions. The dependence on the weather and on large equipment that impose specific restrictions on installation areas, such as transport and lifting, leads to greater complexities during the planning and installation of offshore wind farms. This work aims to understand the process of technology evolution and the benefits of offshore wind farms implemented in other countries, such as those allocated in Europe and Asia, and list the difficulties and advantages for implementation in Brazil. The methodology was based on data collection and scientific knowledge published in international journals with a peer review policy. With the implementation of offshore wind farms, the country will be able to play a fundamental role in the sustainable development and diversification of the country's energy matrix. Brazil has an extensive coastline with great potential for offshore wind power generation. These coastal areas offer strong and constant winds, which makes the exploitation of offshore wind energy a highly viable and efficient option. By reducing dependence on non-renewable energy sources such as oil and coal, Brazil strengthens its resilience and reduces the risks associated with fluctuations in prices and availability of these resources. This clean, renewable energy source plays a crucial role in transitioning to a more sustainable energy system, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and driving economic development.
