Advances, Progress, and Future Directions of Renewable Wind
Diversification of the Energy Matrix: Wind power has helped reduce dependence on hydropower, which has improved the resilience of the Brazilian energy system to droughts.
In economic terms [18, 19, 36, 37], wind energy progress has been achieved in the following: Investment Attraction: Brazil has attracted foreign and local investment in the wind energy sector, thanks to energy auctions and favorable policies.
Future Directions With its vast coastline and favorable climatic conditions, Brazil has begun to explore the potential for green hydrogen production using offshore wind energy (Figure 24). This approach combines two key technologies for energy transition: renewable energy generation and hydrogen production as a clean energy carrier.
In coastal areas of Brazil, where the continental shelf is relatively narrow, fixed-base wind turbines are possible. However, in areas with greater depths, such as some parts of the southern coast, floating platforms would be the most viable option . There are various foundation systems for wind turbines to be implemented offshore.
With the development of hydraulic components and the growing size of wind power generation, hydraulic technology has gradually been applied in wind energy, such as the hydraulic pitch system 2 listed in Table 1, the hydraulic braking system, 3 and hydraulic transmission system 4, 5 depicted in Table 2.
