Caracterização da qualidade de energia elétrica no setor rural do estado do Paraná

Abstract

This research explores a theoretical-conceptual approach about energy quality of eight consumers in rural sector of Paraná State, as well as presents strategies to solve the problems arising from voltage surges. Therefore, we used statistical methods and comparative simulations of voltage drop for each type of cable. In addition, we inform the reader about the impacts of motor starters on the power grid and ways to smooth these impacts.
