• Abstract:

  Integrating wind energy into the Brazilian electricity system presents significant challenges, mainly due to the intermittent nature of this energy source and the country's existing infrastructure. Wind energy, although clean and renewable, depends on climatic conditions to generate electricity effectively, which makes its production variable over time. In this context, the relevance of this study is justified by the growing role that wind energy plays in the context of the energy transition and the search for sustainable energy production alternatives. The aim of this study is to analyze the challenges faced by the Brazilian electricity system in integrating wind energy efficiently and safely. The research seeks to explore how the intermittency of this energy source impacts grid stability, the limitations of the country's transmission infrastructure and possible solutions to increase the predictability and integration of wind energy into the national energy mix. In conclusion, the challenges faced by the Brazilian electricity system in integrating wind energy are significant, but not insurmountable. The combination of technological innovations, investments in transmission infrastructure and more effective management strategies can enable Brazil to take full advantage of its wind potential. In this way, it will not only be possible to increase the share of renewable energies in the energy mix, but also to guarantee a more secure and sustainable energy supply for the future.
