Cloud and Wind Energy – Casa dos Ventos was responsible for over 30% of the 600 wind power parks in the country in operation. These wind power parks will have an installed capacity of 17.9 GW and will represent around 10% of all the energy produced in the country.

Want to know how Casa dos Ventos uses the power of a Cloud? Wind energy is produced through the force of the winds and is generated by wind turbines. Within them, the force of the winds is captured by blades connected to a turbine that drives an electric generator. Wind energy is abundant, renewable, and completely clean. Although it seems new, this type of renewable energy has been used for over 3,000 years. In ancient times, it was utilized through windmills, which served for pumping or draining water, grinding grains, and other activities that depended solely on mechanical force.

Casa dos Ventos – Pioneer in Wind Projects

Casa dos Ventos is one of the pioneers and largest developers of wind projects in Brazil. With eight years in the market, Casa dos Ventos is responsible for the largest network of projects that sold energy in auctions and in the free contracting environment.

The projects by Casa dos Ventos total 5.5 GW of installed capacity and represent about 30% of all wind farms being developed or in operation in the country.

Having parks with massive telemetry, Casa dos Ventos sees a challenge in monitoring all the data from these measuring points, the solution was the cloud, specifically Google Cloud. A more complementary and suitable tool for use.

The cloud enabled improved calculations for monitoring enhancement; Casa dos Ventos processed over 20 years of historical data in 2 hours in the cloud, which had a considerable impact on monitoring accuracy. The cloud, as already mentioned, specifically Google Cloud, is a tool from the American multinational company Google.

Brazilian scientists are simultaneously advancing two research projects on clean hydrogen and driving solutions that could transform the energy matrix, enhance industrial competitiveness, and accelerate large-scale emission reduction targets.

Advancement in renewable energy: A R$ 150 million project launched by Petrobras and Finep aims to create state-of-the-art electrolyzers for green hydrogen, strengthening national research and preparing Brazil to compete in a billion-dollar energy market.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.
