Análise de viabilidade econômica do uso de geradores de energia elétrica no horário de ponta em uma indústria de médio de porte

Abstract

Due to the high energy demand that utilities suffer in the late afternoon and early evening, electric utilities, trying to reduce this peak load, penalize industrial consumers by increasing the energy tariff by 3-4 times. At these times which are termed as rush hours. So that the company does not see its energy bill increase sharply, thus leading to a higher final product value and loss of competitiveness, power generation through generators emerges as an alternative. Therefore, in this study, a feasibility analysis of the use of rush hour diesel generators in a medium-sized industry will be performed, with the application of deterministic investment analysis methods based on the cash flow projection for both companies. Situations. The study in question, pointed out that even with a significant investment for the acquisition and operation of generators, there is economic viability for this form of generation.
