CAPACIDADE TECNOLÓGICA DO SETOR EÓLICO BRASILEIRO: OPORTUNIDADES E DESAFIOS À LUZ DO PAPEL DAS INSTITUIÇÕES E DA POLÍTICA INDUSTRIAL
This work proposes a discussion about the opportunities and challenges of the Brazilian wind sector, in the light of the role of institutions and industrial policy.Since the 2000s, at a pace similar to the global context, Brazil has shown an expansion of the wind sector, concomitant with the domestic industrial development of the sector.Part of this success can be attributed to: i) the performance of institutions and the creation of key programs and support mechanisms for the development of the industry and, ii) the existing pre-conditions of the productive sector in Brazil.However, the low number of patents and the high instability of resources available for R&D and innovation, present challenges for the sector.And, in this sense, the mechanisms of coordination between energy, industrial and S&T policy are assumed to be the predominant factor, in order to minimize the costs of the most disruptive technologies, identify "windows of opportunity", promote the development of innovative activities of greater complexity and stimulate a scenario consistent with the potential signaled by the sector in the global context.
