This dissertation analyses the cost, feasibility and optimization performance of a hybrid electric energy production system, composed of photovoltaic modules, storage batteries and a diesel generator. Several performance simulations were made for different system configurations, varying discharge depth, both total and operating capacity of the storage batteries, and total consumption, using the same profile shape. A data base was used for the simulations, using meteorological information, component prices, and electric energy power and consumption profiles for the rural Village of Campinas (AM). As a result, an economically feasible proposal was detailed for supplying electric energy to a rural village, which is away from available commercial networks. The simulation was used to determine the basic equipment configuration to minimize the electricity cost. The project evaluation shows it is a good investment option, considering that electric energy supply is fundamental for the social and economic development. Solar radiation and temperature data for the city of Manaus, AM, ware used for the simulations, which is considered to be approximately the same as for the rural Village of Campinas due to its proximity. In addition, this study adopted a working life of 25 years or more for the system.
