| description | The sustainable development paradigm has been encouraging the current worldwide transition from fossil fuels torenewable energy sources and a more balanced approach to the social-environmental concerns against economic hegemony, which implies changes in how decision-makers design the future electricity system. In this context, this paper explores the integration of the Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA) with a Multicriteria Decision Making (MCDM)method, named Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique Exploiting Ranks (SMARTER), in order to analyze and compare the sustainability performance of the current electricity mix with different future scenarios in Brazil, reported by The Brazilian Ten-Year Energy Expansion Plan 2027. This analysis considers nine criteria distributed into environmental, social,and economic dimensions of sustainability obtained from different sources, such as literature, the Ecoinvent 3.5 database, and calculated by ReCiPe 2016 and USEtox 2 methods. According to the results, the current electricity mix presents the best social and economic performance, and its environmental performance will enhance in the future, mainly due to the expansion of some renewable energy sources. Concerning the future scenarios investigated, the results indicate that those with greater participation from these energy sources are associated with the best sustainability performance. However, it isworth pointing out that these results do not represent the most suitable Brazilian electricity mix path. Besides the criteriaconsidered in this paper, it is influenced by other factors, such as technical, geographical, and national policy. Furthermore, assuming different suppositions and system boundaries for energy sources and technologies might significantly vary our findings. |

El paradigma de desarrollo centrado en la sostenibilidad no solo ha impulsado la actual transición energética hacia las fuentes renovables, sino que también se ha convertido en una prioridad para tener en cuenta todas aquellas cuestiones socio-ambientales a lo largo de la cadena de generación eléctrica, lo que implica una actualización de la forma en la que se planifica la expansión del suministro eléctrico en el futuro. En este contexto, este artículo explora la integración del Análisis de Sostenibilidad del Ciclo de Vida (ASCV) con un método de Análisis de Decisiones Multicriterio (ADM), denominado Técnica de Calificación de Atributos Múltiples Simples (SMARTER), para evaluar la sostenibilidad de la matriz eléctricaactual y de los escenarios futuros en Brasil, proyectados por el Plan Decenal de Expansión Energética de Brasil 2027.El análisis se realiza de acuerdo con nueve criterios distribuidos en las dimensiones ambiental, social y económica. Los resultados indican un mejor desempeño social, económico y ambiental de la matriz eléctrica nacional actual, así como, en sus escenarios futuros, principalmente, debido a la expansión de la participación de algunas fuentes de energía renovables. Con respecto a los escenarios futuros, aquellos con mayor participación de estas fuentes se asocian con el mejor desempeño en materia de sostenibilidad. No obstante, estos resultados no pretenden señalar el camino más adecuado para el Parque Nacional de Generación Eléctrica, ya que, para ello, también es necesario tomar en cuenta otros factores, además de los considerados en este artículo, como son los macroeconómicos, técnicos, de ubicación, políticas públicas, etc. Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia - UPTC 2022-05-21 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/ingenieria_sogamoso/article/view/14272 10.19053/1900771X.v21.n2.2021.14272 Ingeniería Investigación y Desarrollo; Vol. 21 No. 2 (2021): Julio - Diciembre; 73-80 Ingeniería Investigación y Desarrollo; Vol. 21 Núm. 2 (2021): Julio - Diciembre; 73-80 2422-4324 1900-771X eng https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/ingenieria_sogamoso/article/view/14272/11622 |
