O setor de energia eólica no Brasil: mapeamento das tendências de pesquisa

Abstract

In the context of the ecological crisis, highlights the main environmental impacts caused by the production and consumption model based on economic growth. Discusses the scope of the proposed sustainable development, green economy and decrease, which in different ways seek to contain the worsening ecological crisis. Denounces the box programmed misinformation about the effects of the exploitation of natural resources. For this reason, emphasizes the importance of environmental information for decision making and social mobilization in favor of the preservation of ecosystems. Highlights the strategic role of renewable energy, especially wind power in scenario of ecological crisis. Identifies the properties of wind technology, as well as the world stage regarding the use of this source, with emphasis on its participation in the Brazilian energy matrix. Discusses the dynamics of the innovation process, and demonstrates its relevance to the structure of the wind industry in Brazil. Associates promoted innovations in that sector of eco-innovations. Evidence the contribution of PD&I to the technological improvement regarding the use of wind energy. Performs a mapping of research groups that deal with wind energy in the Research Groups Directory at Brazil 's National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), and evaluates the compiled information. Investigates if the research developed by the groups include the technological demands of the wind industry, outlined in the study "Analyzes and insights for the development of a policy of CT&I in promoting of wind energy in Brazil", published by the Center for Management and Strategic Studies (CGEE). Concludes, from the analysis of the results of the applied questionnaire, there is a favorable environment for the advancement of Brazilian wind industry, regarding the developed scientific research in strategic areas.
