Projeto piloto para sistema de gerenciamento de energia: gestão de uso e consumo de energia elétrica em conformidade com a ISO 50001

Abstract

The Brazil is one of the ten bigger eletrical energy consumers in the world, with more than 36% of the total amount of power consumed by the industrial sector. The country also detach in indexes from Latin America for his low efficiency in generating riches from energetic consumption. Statistics from ABESCO (2017) also point out that in the last three years the electrical energy waste reaches the value of 61,7 billions brazilian reais in outdated machines, lighting, and others. In the midst of this scenario, the present work illustrate the development of a energy management system, a tool still little explored by the country to reduce cost with the energetic waste. The system was developed following the main guidelines settled down by the ISO 50001 and prepared to serve as a base for implantation on industrial plants. The work also count with a case of study, describing how was the practical implantation of the method in a local multinational industry and the results obtained, in which besides a 5% reduce in energetic waste, around 120 thousand Brazilian reais in a year, also was perceived the fomentation of electrical energy awareness in the company´s employees.
