Otimização da demanda e consumo de energia elétrica da Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná – câmpus Medianeira

Abstract

Due to the difficulty in obtaining new sources of generation and growing demand for electricity, it creates the need to optimize existing systems. With the obtainment of energy bills provided by the electric utility, this paper presents the results of the optimization of demand and electricity consumption UTFPR - Campus Medianeira and demand forecast for the year 2015. Charts and graphs were constructed to provide a diagnosis of the electrical energy consumption on campus. Based on a historical one, there was the optimization of the current contract demand (2014), obtaining R $ 4,386.22 savings in 20 months analyzed, about 1% of the total invoice amount with the optimal simulated demand of 436 kW. The simulation of the energy bill for 2015 showed that the contracted demand should be changed from 350kW to 476 kW providing thus R $ 4,476.84 savings in annual revenues. Finally, according to current ideas, this paper presented eight models of advertising material (posters, folders, adhesive labels) to be printed and set in murals, classrooms, hallways University promoting user awareness on the rational use of energy electric.
