Abstract
The consumption of electric energy has increased in recent years. In Brazil there are issues related to the supply of this consumption that are able to reduce the impacts on the environment. Seeking to stimulate the efficient use of energy, the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL) established a new tariff modality for low voltage (LV) consumers, the White Tariff. In this perspective, this article presents an economic feasibility study of adherence to the White Tariff for rural consumers considering Distributed Generation (DG) constituted by solar energy and biomass. Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewables software was used as a simulation tool for different load profiles. The results showed that the White Tariff can be more advantageous when used in parallel with the techniques of demand management in which the consumer manages his/her consumption habits at peak times with the off-peak time that has a lower cost of the White Tariff.
