Análise de eficiência energética para consumidores de alta tensão utilizando ferramentas da qualidade

Abstract

The Brazilian electrical energy system is constantly growing, both in terms of consumption and infrastructure. This growth, linked to inflation and annual readjustments and the flag system, makes the consumer pay an increasingly expensive price for the energy consumed, even reducing its consumption many times. Considering fundamental concepts for understanding the energy bill, such as tariff modality, consumption at peak hours, consumption at offpeak hours, contracted demand, among others, also including external elements, such as capacitor banks and routine consumption. This work presents as its main objective, through the aid of quality tools, a consumption analysis of two companies with divergent consumption patterns, one from the private sector and the other from the public sector. The first is a metallurgical industry located in the interior of the state of Paraná, which has a high consumption compared to another, which is UTFPR-PG.
