PTI – Itaipu project on microgrid (solar + biogas)
Summary
1. Brief overview of PTI
2. Rural energy situation
3. CIGRE Proposal for rural microgrid (solar + biogas)
4. PTI and Itaipu actions for biogas + solar
5. Conclusions
1. Brief overview of PTI
Foundation belonging to Itaipu Brazil
Connection of education, research, innovation and businesses
Promotion of the triple helix concept (academy, entrepreneurs and public institutions)
Main areas: Renewable energy, water, technology and food production
Under internationalization process

2. Rural energy situation
Paraná State is the biggest poultry protein producer in Brazil
1,8 billions of confined chickens in the Paraná State in 2016
35% of chickens deaths are due to thermal stress
Great volume of animal carcass with incorrect destination
Affects biological security and sanitation
Old electric energy distribution grid
High energy demand for agribusiness chain
Constant energy interruption
Agribusines is responsible for 40% of Paraná GDP

Agricultural Protection Agency of Paraná/ADAPAR and
Industries Federation/FIEP
3. Proposal for rural microgrid (solar + biogas)The International Council on Large Electric Systems (CIGRE) created a working group in 2011 to prepare
the “network of the future” to propose the “electricity supply systems of the future”.
Premises:
High reliability and supply security
Economic viability of the solution
Promotion of results for environmental protection
CIGRE orientation report
Creates incentives to the energy consumers/producers
Connects the national energy public policies
Integrates local energy generation to the distribution grid
Uses IT to better manage the energy technologies
Observes environmental and sustainability conformities

4. PTI - Itaipu actions for biogas + solar in the region
Biogas
Itaipu, PTI and CIBiogás implemented 11 demonstration unities to prove biogas feasibility
Biomethane plant built in the dam premises (sewage, grass and food waste)
80 (out of 250) vehicles of the Itaipu fleet fulfilled with biomethane
60 (out of 250) vehicles of the Itaipu fleet fulfilled with electricity
BOKU and TUWien (Austria) gave great technical and scientific support to implement the biogas plant
Solar
About 500 MWp, generating 2.200 GWh/year of energy in the region
Needed area: 400 hectares (Farms rooftops / floating on the dam reservoir / under transmition lines)
Sources: PTI, CIBiogás and study prepared by Spirit Design and BOKU University (Austria)

5. Conclusions
Urgent need to develop regulatory basis for rural microgrids in Brazil
Microgrids are of great interest of farmers, cooperatives and agribusiness in general
Support to the Electric Companies to enhance quantity and quality of the energy sent to the rural
distribution grid
Support to avoid energy interruption and animals deaths
Keep energy reliability and safety in rural areas
PTI, CIBiogás and Itaipu are implementing microgrids projects (solar + biogas) to consolidate the
concept and benefits to the State Electric Company, the National Electric Energy Agency and the State
