Proposition of alternatives for microgrid insertion in Brazilian's regulatory context

In this paper some issues related to the Brazilians' regulatory context for microgrids insertion were analyzed. Among various issues, those associated to the fixed minimum billable amount and to the conversion of energy credits generated from net metering in different tariffs were assessed. It is presented a suggested solution for the modification of credit conversion due to generation and consumption at different times, as well as a new structure for the distribution costs charged today to clients of a microgrid or to GD costumers. At the end, the authors conclude that the standby tariff can be a good mechanism to stimulate the insertion microgrids, energy efficiency of these and also to the increase of customers with distributed generation.
