• Automatic Balancing System of Connected Single Phase Units in the Low Voltage Distribution Network
  The electricity distribution system tends to be unbalanced due to the presence of single-phase electrical charges and also due to the dynamic behavior of the radial circuits. Such serious imbalances, in addition to compromising the distribution of energy, can also interfere in the normal mode of operation of the active components in the network (electrical transformers, etc.) and shorten the useful life of the cables that make up the network. The objective of this work is to demonstrate by simulation the benefits brought by the adoption of automation in the execution of the load balancing task, however for greater efficiency of the assets and improvement of the supply quality, the present work defends the logical use for the search of the best redistribution of single-phase loads connected to the distribution network, including the fuzzy logic to support decision making and interpretation of dynamic load behavior, as well as the search optimization method for the best allocation of single-phase loads (consumer units) advocates the adoption of an algorithm based on the simplex model. The results found through the techniques employed, allow a better distribution of loads through the distribution network, reducing the risks for the people involved in the execution of the task in the field and obtaining improvements in the tension profile due to the load imbalance.

• Information Gathering and Analysis of Pathological Manifestations in the External Area of a Residential Block on Journalists Condominium in Manaus / AM
  Abstract: The Civil Construction sector has great importance for the growth and development of the country, exerting considerable influence in the economic scenario of Brazil. However, there are a large number of completed and ongoing buildings that present pathological scenarios. These can occur in the most diverse stages of the production process, and may originate even in the planning stage, requiring a study indicating the most recurrent causes of pathologies. Identifying and correcting potential failures and anomalies certainly increases the overall satisfaction of homeowners for their contribution to the aesthetics of the building, as well as for enhancing product life and business value. When interacting with the external environment to which they are exposed, materials may undergo changes that over time cause a loss in their ability to withstand the conditions for which they were designed. Although it is a natural process, some factors directly influence its deterioration, such as the use of poor quality material and the lack of periodic maintenance. Thus, the pathological manifestations present in the building motivated the development of this article, aiming to diagnose them and propose appropriate treatment for their resolution, establishing a prioritization order through listing of criticality arising from the Building Inspection. Through a visual inspection and inspection at the place under study, this work cataloged, diagnosed and indicated interventions to the identified pathological manifestations.

• Hybrid Approach combining SARIMA and Neural Networks for multi-step ahead wind speed forecasting in Brazil
  ABSTRACT This paper proposes a hybrid approach based on SARIMA and Neural Networks for multi-step ahead wind speed forecasting using explanatory variables. In the proposed model, explanatory variables are first predicted, and wind speed forecasting is performed taking into account these forecasted values and wind speed historical series. The multi-step ahead forecasting is achieved recursively, by using the first forecasted value as input to obtain the next forecasting value. The proposed approach is tested using historical records of meteorological data collected from two real-world locations in Brazil. In order to demonstrate accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed approach, the results are compared with other techniques such as Neural Networks, SARIMA and SARIMA+wavelet. Simulation results reveal that the proposed hybrid forecasting method outperforms these popular algorithms for different forecasting horizons with higher accuracy. INDEX TERMS SARIMA model, explanatory variable selection, multi-step ahead, neural networks, wind speed forecasting
• Different Models for Forecasting Wind Power Generation: Case Study
  Abstract: Generation of electric energy through wind turbines is one of the practically inexhaustible alternatives of generation. It is considered a source of clean energy, but still needs a lot of research for the development of science and technologies that ensures uniformity in generation, providing a greater participation of this source in the energy matrix, since the wind presents abrupt variations in speed, density and other important variables. In wind-based electrical systems, it is essential to predict at least one day in advance the future values of wind behavior, in order to evaluate the availability of energy for the next period, which is relevant information in the dispatch of the generating units and in the control of the electrical system. This paper develops ultra-short, short, medium and long-term prediction models of wind speed, based on computational intelligence techniques, using artificial neural network models, Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and hybrid models including forecasting using wavelets. For the application of the methodology, the meteorological variables of the database of the national organization system of environmental data (SONDA), Petrolina station, from 1 January 2004 to 31 March 2017, were used. A comparison among results by different used approaches is also done and it is also predicted the possibility of power and energy generation using a certain kind of wind generator.

• An expert analysis of Areal Igarapé: proposal for intervention, as improvement of the conditions of housing infrastructure of families living in london areas, proposing environmental recovery of degraded areas
  Abstract: The current situation of the igarapés of Manaus brings us to the observation that, over the years, human beings have been continually degrading the environment in which they live and from which they derive the necessary subsidies for their survival, and this incessant interference on behalf of the people. Development is usually committed without the prior care of maintaining nature conservation. Among the various watercourses that intersect the city of Manaus, and most of it is in an advanced stage of deterioration due to anthropic action, the Igarapé do Areal that for a long time was useful to the manauara population that lived near its Unfortunately, the banks also suffered from all the transformations caused by the urbanization of the city and today it is observed only as an open sewer. Aiming at the contemplation of the objective of this study, which is based on a descriptive survey, made through published material related to the research theme, it is complemented by an observational case study. Although during the mutations suffered with the development of the capital of Amazonas there was no care in the manipulation of water sources, there is a need to highlight the responsibility of the public power and the sensitization of the population for their revitalization. During the study it was observed that the source of Igarapé do Areal does not present satisfactory conditions, close to those of natural environments, since occupation processes are already observed in areas close to its headwaters. However, in the streams of the stream where anthropic actions occur, the properties of the water bodies present intense alteration, reaching a state of total decharacterization, due to the small size and the low self-purification capacity of the polluting loads.
