Dissertação (Mestrado Profissional) – Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia de Processos, Instituto de Tecnologia, Universidade Federal do Pará, Belém, 2018.https://rigalileo.itegam.org.br/handle/123456789/873The main objectives of this research are to evaluate the potential and prospects of exploration of renewable energy sources in the state of Maranhão, for conversion into electric energy, as well as to evaluate them. To this end, an introduction is made to the most relevant matrix of renewable energies, and it is broadly focused on the forms of energy conversion and existing technologies, both in application and in development, in Brazil and in the world. Research was done on the technical and economical feasibility for electric power generation from hydraulics, wind, solar, biomass, and oceanic sources, as well as the contribution of each one to the State Electric Matrix. The main projects for energy generation in operation and under implementation in the State were also presented, along with their respective economic, social, and environmental impacts. The technical information and data collection were obtained through bibliographic research, scientific articles, official websites of ANEEL, companies or organizations linked to the Ministry of Mines and Energy, and manufacturers, universities, and research centers. The work concludes by presenting a synthesis of Maranhão's potential and opportunities to expand the participation of renewable energies in the state’s electricity matrix, along with suggestions for future studies.pdf.Energia renovávelMatriz energéticaMaranhãoSustentabilidadeGeração elétricaDissertaçãoEngenharia de Processos
