Wind and solar energy have stood out in recent years because of the growth of global installed capacity. This work aims to present wind and solar photovoltaic energy development and its regulatory framework in Brazil, and demonstrate the potential for centralized hybrid generation.
Large scale wind energy in Brazil began in 2009, and hundreds of new wind farms have been installed since then. Large scale solar PV energy had an initial milestone in 2014, signalling that the technology can grow as much as wind energy. This study demonstrated the great potential for the deployment of centralized wind-PV hybrid power plants.
Wind energy is still an unprecedented source at sea in Brazil. But, according to Brazil's environmental regulator (Ibama), there are 20 projects in the licensing phase that may come into operation in the upcoming five years. Together they would have 42GW of power.
The favourable quality of Brazilian winds for wind power generation stands out globally. Brazil has a capacity factor (wind productivity) that is above average, as shown below. The Northeast accounts for 80% of Brazilian wind energy farms.
Renewable energy technologies (solar and especially wind) are options that have become economically viable, and wind farm deployment in Brazil has been expanding rapidly in relation to the exploitation of traditional energy sources such as fossil fuels ( DE JONG et al., 2015; De Jong et al.; 2017a ).
In recent years, the Federal Government has decided that it would be advantageous for Brazil to expand wind and solar energy to: diversify the electricity generation sources; use these abundant renewable energy potentials; and increase energy supply security in Brazil.
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%. Europe follows closely with 32% market share, where standardized container designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with China's manufacturing scale reducing container prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting mobile container solutions for rapid electrification, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal operating temperatures with 40% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $80/kWh to $45/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple containers to operate as coordinated virtual power plants, increasing revenue potential by 25% through peak shaving and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and gas detection systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for container-based projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple container additions at just $210/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show 20ft containers (1-2MWh) starting at $350,000 and 40ft containers (3-6MWh) from $650,000, with volume discounts available for large orders.
