The Light for Everyone Program of the Brazilian
government has as goal to bring access to electrical
energy to the low income families, with the purpose that
electricity becomes a vector of social and economical
development, and assisting to poorness reduction,
increase of income to families and a rise in the Human
development index. The access to electrical energy
makes easy the integration of social programs of federal
government as health services, education, water supply
and sanitation. One of the main blockage found by the
program is to assist the isolated communities. Those
places are far away from the electricity network available
and they are difficult locations, with low population
density, especially those ones located in Amazonia.
The available technology includes decentralized
generation systems mini and micro hydro electrical
centers, hydro kinetics systems, thermal plant, hybrid systems and aero generators, among others, prioritizing
the use of alternative available energies on electricity
production. This work evaluates the use of biomass as
gas to run a diesel micro generator operating in dual
mode, diesel and gasification gas, a gas obtained from a
gasification counter flow unit, located at West Parana
State University - UNIOESTE, as a solution to minimize
the use of diesel on electricity generation at isolated
communities, with the use of local and sustainable local
energy resources.
