Ações de eficiência energética em sistemas motrizes: um estudo de caso

Abstract

Energy Efficiency is a subject that has been widely explored due to concerns about sustainability and operational efficiency. This work aims to carry out a case study of a driving system, belonging to a sanitation industry. The structure of the study is a bibliographical review of subjects involving sanitation, its applicability to energy efficiency and concepts about the equipment that composes it. Furthermore, the specific case of an Autonomous Water and Sewage Service is analyzed in detail, as well as improvements to the site are proposed, through the analysis of the current system and sizing of new equipment. Using energy efficiency concepts, a retrofit of the system was proposed, where obsolete equipment is replaced with efficient, high-technology equivalents. With this project, it is possible to meet the demands of the site, resulting in energy savings, reduced demand during peak hours, equipment with a longer useful life, relief in the Electrical Power System, among other benefits.
