SILVEIRA JUCA, Sandro César; MARQUES DE CARVALHO, Paulo Cesar  and  DE AGUIAR JUNIOR, José Sérgio. The relevance of the geographical information systems in the development of the renewable energy. Ciênc. cogn. [online]. 2006, vol.9, pp. 131-136. ISSN 1806-5821.

The use of renewable energy in isolated households, despite the grid expansion, is considered viable due to economic criteria in some cases. In these cases, many aspects are considered as, for instance, demand expands potential, distance of grid and appropriated electric generation technology. Each technology needs specifics analysis and demands handling databanks and projections. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are tools that aim to join resource and energetic demands data about the places that will be analysed with a framework of geographical information and provides the results disposed in a image, this way allowing, safety and agility in take decisions. In that way, they can contribute with the universality electric energy programs in Brazil. © Ciências & Cognição 2006; Vol. 09: xxx-xxx.
