Impactos da inserção da microgeração no equilíbrio econômico-financeiro dos contratos de concessão de distribuição de energia elétrica / Impacts of microgeneration insertion on equilibrium the economic and financial aspects of the distribution of electricity

SILVA, Walney Christian de Medeiros 25 September 2017 (has links)

No. of bitstreams: 1 Walney Christian de Medeiros Silva .pdf: 3416544 bytes, checksum: 20ee94588e05621f9c263401f3b48043 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-09-25 / This work was developed in the Master course of the Postgraduate Program in Energy and Environment taught at the Federal University of Maranhão, and its main objective is to analyze the impacts of the fomentation and insertion of distributed generation, among them microgeneration, whose main source is To solar photovoltaic, in the Brazilian energy scenario. The mass adherence to microgeneration, by the Brazilian consumers, can culminate in impacts to be felt by the electric power concessionaires, by the consumers themselves and by all agents of the national energy sector. Two species of impacts were identified for electric power concessionaires, in the case of microgeneration insertion. These impacts are subdivided into (i) technical and (ii) economic impacts. The former can be represented by possible instabilities in the utility network, which could be avoided with adaptations in the planning of these systems. The economic aspects would be related to the increase in the price of the tariff, caused by the fall in the revenues of the distributors, an impact directly linked to the loss of revenue in the companies' cash registers. This could lead to uncertainties regarding the current distributor remuneration system, taking into account a scenario of mass membership of microgenerators. Hence comes the phenomenon called the spiral of death. The dynamics of this phenomenon follows a logic in which, with the increase of Distributed Generation, there is a decrease in the consumption of electric energy sold by the distributors, which results in an increase in the tariff for the captive market, which, in turn, would be lower. Since the market is smaller, the costs, when forming the tariff, in the periodic tariff reviews, would be divided by a smaller number of consumers. The tariff increase, consequently, increases the attractiveness of Distributed Generation, which, in turn, accelerates the process described above. As the distributors responsible for the maintenance and expansion of the electric system, in their concession area, the financial balance of these is a fundamental factor for the operation of the entire electric sector. This paper analyzes the economic financial equilibrium of distributors and the concession contract for the distribution of electric power and the impact on other consumers, in case of a mass migration of consumers to microgeneration. / Este trabalho foi desenvolvido no curso de Mestrado do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Energia e Ambiente ministrado na Universidade Federal do Maranhão, e tem como objetivo principal analisar os impactos do fomento e inserção da geração distribuída, dentre elas a microgeração, cuja principal fonte é a solar fotovoltaica, no cenário energético brasileiro. A adesão em massa à microgeração, por parte dos consumidores brasileiros, pode culminar em impactos a serem sentidos pelas concessionárias de energia elétrica, pelos próprios consumidores e por todos os agentes setor energético nacional. Foram identificadas duas espécies de impactos para as concessionárias de energia elétrica, no caso de inserção da microgeração. Esses impactos se subdividem em (i) técnicos e (ii) econômicos. Os primeiros podem ser representados por possíveis instabilidades na rede da concessionária, o que poderia ser evitado com adaptações no planejamento desses sistemas. Os aspectos econômicos estariam relacionados ao aumento preço da tarifa de energia elétrica, ocasionados pela queda no faturamento das distribuidoras, impacto diretamente ligado à perda da receita nos caixas das companhias, dentre outros fatores. Isso poderia trazer incertezas quanto ao atual sistema de remuneração das distribuidoras, levando-se em consideração um cenário de adesão em massa de microgeradores. Daí surge o fenômeno denominado de espiral da morte. A dinâmica desse fenômeno segue uma lógica em que, com o aumento da Geração Distribuída, há a uma queda no consumo da energia elétrica vendida pelas distribuidoras, o que resulta num aumento na tarifa para o mercado cativo, que, por sua vez, seria menor. Sendo o mercado menor, os custos, quando da formação da tarifa, nas revisões tarifárias periódicas, seriam divididos por um número menor de consumidores. O aumento da tarifa, consequentemente, eleva a atratividade da Geração Distribuída, que, por sua vez, acelera todo o processo anteriormente descrito. Sendo as distribuidoras responsáveis pela manutenção e expansão do sistema elétrico, na sua área de concessão, o equilíbrio financeiro destas é fator fundamental para o funcionamento de todo o setor elétrico. O presente trabalho se dispõe, dessa forma, a analisar a temática do equilíbrio econômico financeiro das distribuidoras e do próprio contrato de concessão de distribuição de energia elétrica, bem como, de acordo com o modelo atual do setor elétrico nacional, quais seriam os impactos sentidos pelos demais consumidores não microgeradores, em caso de eventual migração em massa de consumidoras à microgeração.

Desenvolvimento de distribuidores é considerado como qualquer esforço do fabricante com seus distribuidores para incrementar os conhecimentos e as competências em vendas e nas operações para contribuir com o alcance das metas de distribuição de produtos, planejadas pelo fabricante. Os pilares para o repasse de conhecimento são o monitoramento do desempenho e o envolvimento direto do fabricante com seus canais, e vice versa. Esse envolvimento gera integração, que é a base das trocas de conhecimentos específicos existentes no fabricante, e que tem impacto direto nas atividades de distribuição. Os conhecimentos repassados impactam no desempenho operacional e no desempenho geral do canal. Os fundamentos teóricos que embasam os modelos proposto são os mesmos que têm sido utilizados recentemente nos estudos do desenvolvimento de fornecedores. Para o desenvolvimento deste trabalho foi feita uma pesquisa junto ao setor metal mecânico automotivo de bens de capital do Brasil. Uma pesquisa foi desenvolvida a partir de um processo de estratificação junto aos fabricantes. O modelo teórico foi testado com a utilização de técnicas de estatística multivariada e por Modelagem de Equações Estruturais, na qual foram testadas cinco hipóteses diferentes de pesquisa. Os resultados sugerem que existe uma relação entre a transferência de conhecimentos, via monitoramento do desempenho, e pelo envolvimento direto dos fabricantes com seus canais, no desempenho operacional e geral do canal. Este estudo contribui para o aumento de conhecimentos sobre o tema, pois embasa onde os fabricantes podem fazer investimentos em iniciativas como antecedentes relacionadas a aumentos de desempenho em seus canais de distribuição e vendas. / This thesis refers to the development of the supply and selling chain channels through the transference of knowledge, by analyzing the impact of manufacturer actions and its repercussions in channel development. Supplier development is considered to be any manufacturer effort with its distributors to improve the selling knowledge and competency, as well as in its operations to contribute to the achievement of the goal supply chain distribution planned by the manufacturer. The pillars of the knowledge transference are performance monitoring and direct manufacturer evolvement with its channels and vice versa. This evolvement generates integration, which is the base of the specific knowledge trade that exists in the manufacturer and which has a direct impact in the distribution activities. The spread knowledge has an impact through the operational and general channel development. The theoretical basis proposed in this model are the same recently used in supply chain development studies. The research of this thesis has been made in the metal mechanic automotive capital goods of Brazil. The survey has been developed from the stratification process within the manufacturer. The theoretical model was tested with multivariate statistical technique and structural equation modeling, in which were tested five different research hypothesis. A relation between the transference of knowledge through monitoring the performance and the direct evolvement of the supplier with its channels, in operational and general channel development, has been suggested by the results of this survey. This study contributes to improve the knowledge about this feature, because it serves as base to manufacturers make investments in initiatives as antecedents related to performance increase in its supply and selling chain channels.

以動態能耐觀點探討半導體通路商T公司多角化投入太陽能產業之發展歷程 / A case study of the T-company, material distributors in semiconductor industry diversify to the solar industry: Dynamic Capabilities Theory

蔡立夫 Unknown Date (has links)
節能與環保是當今世界各國共同要面對的課題,而解決此人類共同難題所孕育而生的太陽能綠色產業是未來世界的潮流與希望,世界各先進國無不大力推展。而台灣向來致力於高科技產業發展,對於這未來的科技趨勢與產業大餅,從半導體代工、液晶面板及系統模組製造的科技大廠紛紛積極相繼投入。而本研究以半導體通路商T公司為例,以一個營業額百億規模的中型企業,由半導體矽晶圓銷售,切入太陽能矽原料買賣市場,進而建立自有太陽能模組品牌,並在歐洲市場有成功的市場實績,探討個案企業如何成功轉型,並在太陽能產業的新市場中取得競爭優勢。茲提出以下討論問題:1. 半導體通路商跨足太陽能產業的多角化動機與策略思考為何?2. 半導體產業轉型(多角化)跨足至太陽能產業的動態能耐發展及成功因素為何?希望藉此了解企業的多角化策略思考以及如何運用或產生新的能力順利跨足新事業領域。 本研究經由相關文獻探討後,以動態能耐架構,「組織與管理程序」、「定位」、「發展路徑」三構面來分析研究個案企業多角化發展歷程,資源與能力的改變與新生。採用個案研究法深入訪談個案公司相關高階主管,以了解其多角化跨足太陽能產業的實務作為。由個案分析與研究發現得出研究結論如下: 結論一:企業轉型動機為提昇企業價值,實踐永續經營。為延續以往成功經驗,多角化轉型常選擇相關多角化經營策略。 結論二:在組織與管理程序方面,企業多角化歷程中,新事業多會延續原企業的制度與流程。在組織學習與人才培育上,新事業則會偏重外部資源。 結論三:在組織定位方面,相關多角化的發展初期,新事業運用現有資產,能夠快速獲得成功。但是公司的資產定位與優勢,會隨著產業狀況變化而改變。 結論四:在企業發展路徑方面,企業過去發展歷程中的經營策略調整的經驗對多角化經營的發展,有正面助益。 結論五:策略選擇會對企業本身動態能耐造成影響,當企業的經營形態改變,會使公司專屬資產地位的優/劣勢產生變化。 / Nowadays, shortage of crude oil and global warming are major issues that every country in the world must to confront. To solve these problems, all advanced industrial countries are making a lot of efforts in researching and developing alternative energies, including solar energy, which is taken as one of the most effective and mature solutions at the moment. High-tech industries have been well developed and prosperous in Taiwan during past decades. To take the trend of solar energy, many leading companies in semiconductor, LCD panel and computer system manufacturing industries are actively participating in solar industry. This research is to take T-company, one of the major material distributors in semiconductor industry, as example to study how it succeeds in diversification and gets advantages in the new market of solar industry. The major two subjects in this research are as below: 1. What are the motives and strategies for a semiconductor distributor to diversification in order to enter solar industry? 2. What are the success factors and dynamic capabilities needed when a company transforms or diversifies itself from semiconductor industry to solar industry? Case-study method is applied in this research to analyze the actions taken by T-company. To track the diversification and the changes of resources/ capabilities in T-company, the analysis of dynamic capabilities are divided into three dimensions: “organization and managerial processes”, “positioning” and “path of growth”. As a result, the conclusions of this research are as below: 1. The motives of business transformation/ diversification are to ensure the growth and sustainability of corporation. To continue the successful experience, transformation or diversification to related industry is often chosen. 2. In the transformation/ diversification, systems and processes of new business often follow the original ones. As to human resource and professional training, external resources are preferred. 3. Regarding organization positioning, in the initial stage of diversification, the new business has the advantages of using existing resources and reputation to speed up to success. However, the existence of advantages will depend on the industrial situation in the long run. 4. On the paths of enterprise growth, the experiences of strategy adjustment are positively helpful when the corporation goes diversification. 5. The choice of business strategies will influence the dynamic capabilities of a company. When the business model is changing, the advantages/ disadvantages of company exclusive assets will also change.

Optimalizace průtokových poměrů v mazacích obvodech s progresivními rozdělovači pomocí genetických algoritmů / Optimisation of Flow Rates in Lubrication Systems with Progressive Distributors by means of Genetic Algorithms

Vepřek, Jiří January 2010 (has links)
This doctoral thesis presents the results of the development of two software programs for the design of progressive distributors and progressive lubrication systems. One of these programs implements a genetic algorithm and the other, which is used to design progressive lubrication systems, implements a parallel genetic algorithm of the island model. The program for the design of progressive distributors was implemented in Java using the NetBeans development environment and the other program was created in Matlab. The thesis further focuses on analytical and computational solutions of the flow of compressible greases seen as viscoplastic fluids. Equations for the numerical solution of the non-steady flow of compressible viscoplastic Bingham fluids were derived and solved by the Lax-Wendroff method in Matlab. As several constants had to be set in the equations, experiments were conducted with the ecological grease Plantogel 2S in the laboratory of the Kaplan Department of Hydraulic Machines, mainly to determine the sound velocity in this grease. The sound velocity was calculated based on the experimental results by applying Fourier transformation and the transition matrix method. In addition to this, the rheological measurements of greases were used. As seen from the results, the ecological greases are actually thixotropic viscoplastic fluids with a significant elastic element. Since a Newton fluid was assumed when calculating the sound velocity, the possibilities of using the transition matrix method for viscoplastic fluids were then considered. No analytical solution of the flow of viscoplastic fluids in a frequency spectrum has been published so far. Because it emerged that greases had a significant elastic stress factor, the problem of the non-steady flow of elastic-viscoplastic fluids was solved numerically between two infinite parallel plates by applying the finite difference method (FDM). The computation was done in Matlab. This doctoral thesis makes a contribution to solving problems related to the design of progressive distributors and progressive lubrication systems used to distribute compressible greases. Considering the complex approach to this field and the achieved results, the thesis also represents a significant contribution to design work.

Hur tillverkande företag med distributörer kan förbättra sin marknadsföring av standardiserade produkter : En fallstudie inom ABB Low Voltage Products / How manufacturing companies with distributors can improve their marketing of commoditized products

Karlsson, Alexander, Hedengren, Martin January 2015 (has links)
Marknaden för industriella distributörer har upplevt stora förändringar under de senaste decennierna. Trots att industribolag nu har större möjligheter att sälja direkt via internet har distributörerna generellt sett stärkt sin position av flera anledningar. Forskningen har emellertid förespråkat att det är starka samarbeten som skapar värde i distributionskanalen. I huvudsak har detta påvisats med kvantitativa studier och forskare har därför efterfrågat kvalitativa ansatser. Delvis med målet att fylla detta forskningsgap utfördes en fallstudie om ABB Low Voltage Products distributörsförsäljning av produktkategori Pilot Devices, som bland annat innefattar tryckknappar. Pilot Devices valdes eftersom de är typiska distributörsprodukter i flera avseenden. Vad som också är uppenbart för produktkategorin är att den är högst standardiserad, utan tydlig differentiering mot konkurrenterna. Med bakgrund av detta intogs ett speciellt perspektiv i studien: hur kan marknadsföringen genom distributörer förbättras för en standardiserad produktkategori? Elva semistrukturerade intervjuer utfördes med distributörer i Sverige och Storbritannien samt därtill 25 observationsstudier i butiker. För att bättre förstå kundernas behov skedde fem intervjuer med panelbyggare, den typiske kunden för produkterna. Det empiriska materialet visade att distributörers behov skiljer sig åt markant, vilket tidigare modeller inte beaktat. Leverantörer måste förstå de olika distributörstypernas behov för att styra kanalen effektivt. För stora distributörskedjor är monetära incitament, ett åtagande att jobba på slutmarknaden och produktdata för internetförsäljning i fokus. För mindre distributörer, som ofta måste konkurrera med teknisk expertis, är bland annat produktträning och en nära relation av yttersta vikt. Studien bekräftade tidigare forskning som påpekat att en tydlig ansvarsfördelning och effektiv kommunikation är väsentligt för samarbetena. Detta visade sig vara viktigt oavsett typ av distributör. Studien av panelbyggarna visade att dessa generellt hade ett högst repetitivt köpbeteende som ofta styrs av tidigare ritningar eller krav från kunder. Distributörssegmentens värdeskapande aktiviteter och behov samt slutkundernas inverkan summerades i ett ramverk vilket uppfyllde studiens syfte: en vägledning för hur tillverkande industriföretag kan förbättra marknadsföringen via distributörer för standardiserade produkter. / The industrial distributor market has experienced great changes during the recent decades. Manufacturers today have better possibilities reaching their customers directly by selling through the Internet, but the distributors have in general strengthened their positions, due to several reasons. Most research concerning the manufacturer-distributor relationship has, however, indicated that collaboration is the key to creating value in the marketing channel. The majority of these studies have been quantitative, and researchers have requested more qualitative studies. Partly with the aim to fill this gap, a case study was conducted to investigate the distributor sales of ABB Low Voltage Products product category Pilot Devices, consisting of for example push buttons. Pilot Devices was chosen as it is a typical distributor product for many reasons. What also is evident is that it is a commoditized product, where it is hard to find differences between brands. With this background, the study was conducted through a certain lens: how can the marketing through distributors be improved for commoditized products? Eleven semi-structured interviews were conducted with distributors in Sweden and the United Kingdom together with 25 observational studies in distributor stores. In order to obtain a deep understanding of the end customer’s need, five interviews with panel builders, a typical customer type, was conducted. The empirical data showed that the distributors’ needs differ significantly, which has been neglect by previous studies. Manufacturers must develop an understanding for these needs in order to manage the channel effectively. For large distributors, monetary incentives, an end-market commitment and product data were priorities. For smaller, technical oriented, distributors, product training and marketing material were distinct needs. The study confirmed previous studies stating that clear allocation of responsibilities and effective communication are important. The study of the panel builders showed that they have a highly repetitive buying behavior, often affected by previous blueprints or by their customer’s requirements. The distributor segments’ value adding activities, their needs and the impact of the end customer were incorporated into a framework that fulfilled the study’s purpose: a guideline how manufacturing companies can improve their marketing through distributors for commoditized products.
