As indústrias energo-intensivas, que demandam grande quantidade de energia, são objeto de estudo neste trabalho, cujo objetivo é simular potenciais técnicos de conservação de energia neste conjunto de empresas. A obtenção de tais potenciais pode permitir que tanto os agentes governamentais responsáveis pelas políticas energéticas, quanto a própria indústria, balizem-se e adotem medidas visando o uso racional de energia. Com este objetivo, foi elaborado um modelo de simulação cujos dados de entrada baseiam-se apenas em aspectos técnicos. Ponderações a respeito da confiabilidade de tais dados foram realizadas, evidenciando diferenças entre os segmentos industriais no que tange a qualidade das informações levantadas. Os resultados obtidos através das simulações indicam que, se fossem utilizadas as melhores tecnologias e práticas atualmente disponíveis no mercado, seria possível conservar quase um quinto da energia consumida na indústria nacional nos dias atuais. / Abstract: Nowadays, there is more acknowledgment that energy efficiency is intrinsically associated to the growth of productivity and to environment benefits. Industries, that demand great amount of energy, are the subject of this dissertation, whose aim is simulate technical potentials of energy savings in this type of companies. These potentials can allow both, government and enterprises, to adopt measures that lead to the rational energy use. It was used a simulation model whose data are based only in technical characteristics. Discussions about data's reliability were made, showing differences among them. The results obtained through simulations show that would be possible save almost a fifth of the energy consumed, in the present, by Brazilian industry. / Mestrado / Mestre em Planejamento de Sistemas Energéticos

Num passado não tão distante, os projetos dessas instalações eram superdimensionados e, na maioria das vezes, nunca chegavam a operar em sua plenitude. A operação de controle de vazão, através de uma válvula na saída da estação de bombeamento, sempre foi uma ação nociva a estrutura em todos os sentidos, além do desperdício de energia elétrica que esse tipo de operação provocava. Paralelamente, a energia elétrica se tornou muito dispendiosa, e a sua geração muito mais complicada com impactos cada vez maiores no meio ambiente. Em condições tão desfavoráveis, o inversor de freqüência se tornou peca importante na missão de racionalizar o uso da energia elétrica sem afetar a operação do sistema. Neste trabalho são estudadas duas instalações de bombeamento da cidade de Campinas ¿ SP, dotadas de inversores de freqüência, onde são comparadas operações com e sem o uso deste dispositivo, suas vantagens e desvantagens, possibilidades e limitações. Com o auxilio de três modelos matemático-computacionais, um que reproduziu uma das instalações, outro de auditoria energética e um terceiro de otimização, especialmente desenvolvidos para esse estudo, foi possível a simulação de cenários operacionais, buscando extrair a máxima eficiência do inversor e a conseqüente otimização do sistema como um todo. Ao final do trabalho são propostos critérios, resultantes do estudo desenvolvido, que podem servir como parâmetros quando da adoção de inversores de freqüência em sistema de bombeamento / Abstract: The pumping systems are frequently found in any process which involves transport of liquids, like the public water systems. In a recent past, these pumping systems plans were oversized and, frequently, did not work in their full potential. The flow regulated by throttling has always presented, in all senses, a harmful effect to the installation. Moreover, this kind of action has caused waste of electric energy. Along with that the cost of electric energy has been increasing and its production has created damages to the environment. Since we have so many negative conditions, the variable speed drive has become the most important part to rationalize the use of electric energy causing no affect on the operation of the system. This work studies two pump stations located in the city of Campinas, which are operated with variable speed drives. At these pumping stations, comparisons are made with and without the use of this equipment, considering its advantages and disadvantages, its possibilities and limitations. Three mathematicmodels were especially developed for this study, the first to reproduce one of the systems, the second to make an energetic audit and the third to optimize the results. Making use of these three models it was possible to simulate operational scenarios to reach the maximum efficiency from variable speed drive and the optimization of the system as a whole. As a conclusion of this study, some criteria are presented to support the use of variable speed drive in the pumping system / Doutorado / Recursos Hidricos / Doutor em Engenharia Civil

A tecnologia de iluminação artificial mais utilizado pelos produtores de mudas de crisântemos para efeito de indução de fotoperíodo é a de filamento incandescente. Atualmente, procura-se testar novas tecnologias de iluminação artificial visando principalmente à redução do consumo de energia elétrica. A aplicação da tecnologia de iluminação do tipo descarga (vapor de sódio, vapor de mercúrio, fluorescentes tubulares e fluorescentes compactas integradas), diferente da do tipo filamento, no cultivo de crisântemos em ambiente protegido foi o objetivo deste trabalho de pesquisa. Este trabalho foi realizado em uma casa de vegetação comercial com cinco variedades (Papiro, Lindy White, Mona Lisa Rose, Euro Speedy e Stateman), em dois períodos, verão e inverno. Os parâmetros utilizados para a comparação entre as variedades cultivadas foram a produtividade por área, o peso de matéria fresca, a presença de botão floral e a porcentagem de umidade. Para as diferentes tecnologias de iluminação e tipos de lâmpadas analisadas, os parâmetros de avaliação foram as variáveis elétricas (consumo, demanda e fator de potência) e índice de eficiência energética dos tratamentos. Ocorreram diferenças entre as variedades cultivadas com relação ao peso e a porcentagem de umidade. A produtividade por área foi maior com a utilização das tecnologias de descarga em comparação à tecnologia de filamento, não importando a variedade produzida. A menor presença de botão floral foi obtida com a utilização das tecnologias de descarga com exceção da variedade Stateman produzida com a tecnologia Incandescente de 100W no lote de inverno. A única exceção na tecnologia de descarga foi com a lâmpada de descarga Fluorescente Compacta Integrada de 23W Branca, que, no lote de verão, apresentou 2,5% de presença de botão floral contra 0% das outras lâmpadas, na produção da variedade Euro speedy. Verificou-se, através de resultados obtidos, que a lâmpada de descarga Fluorescente Compacta Integrada de 23W Amarela apresentou a menor demanda máxima e uma redução média de consumo de energia da ordem de 75,51% em relação à tecnologia de maior consumo, a Incandescente de 100W que é a atualmente utilizada pelo produtor. Palavras-chave: iluminação artificial, crisântemo, uso racional de energia elétrica / Abstract: The type of artificial illumination employed for chrysanthemum cultivation in greenhouses to induce photoperiod effect will determine its growing rate as well as the energy consumption. Incandescent filament is currently employed for artificial illumination in chrysanthemum nursery to induce photoperiod effect. Nowadays new illumination technology is being tested aiming energy consumption reduction. The application of illumination based on electrical discharge in sodium or mercury vapor, as well as tubular or integrated compact fluorescent bulbs in chrysanthemum cultivation is identified as the objective of this research work. The experimental part of this work was carried out in a commercial greenhouse model employing five chrysanthemum variety as Papiro, Lindy White, Mona Lisa Rose, Euro Speedy and Stateman during winter and summer period. Parameters employed to the study variety behavior included: production per area, fresh matter weight, presence of flower sprouts and moisture content. The parameters known as electrical variables, like consumption, demand and power factor, together with the treatment energy efficiency index were used to analyze the employed illumination technologies and light bulbs type. Results showed differences between weight of fresh flowers and moisture content for the flowers variety under consideration. Productivity per unit area was noticed to be larger for discharge technology when compared with filament bulbs, for both varieties being tested. The lowest flower sprout occurrence was associated to the discharge technology with the exception of the variety Stateman produced with incandescent bulbs of 100 W in the winter plot. The unique exception related to discharge technology was associated to the White 23W Integrated Compact Fluorescent bulb yielding 2.4% of flower sprouts compared with 0% of other bulb types associated to the production of the variety Euro Speedy. It was noticed from the results that the yellow integrated compact fluorescent bulbs (23W) exhibited lower maximum demand as well as an average energy consumption of 75.51% when compared to incandescent filament bulb type (100W) which is currently employed by the chrysanthemum growers.

M.Sc. / This study compares the electricity consumption of two buildings, of similar architectural design, in Simba Office Park, Sandton, in Johannesburg. One of the buildings (Block AB) has not been retrofitted for energy efficiency, whilst the other building (Block C) is a retrofitted building. The hypothesis postulates that the retrofitted building would use less energy than the non-retrofitted one. The research methodology employed has been used internationally, as in the case reported by Levine et al. (1996), who did a study in the United States of America on retrofitting for achieving energy efficiency. Dong et al. (2005) investigated the energy savings due to the retrofitting of old Singaporean commercial office buildings. In this case, six buildings were compared before and after retrofitting, using utility bill and weather data. There have also been similar studies in China (Xu et al, 2006) and Budapest (Urge-Vorsatz & Novikova, 2008). The Budapest study also unpacked the cost of retrofitting. Using methods advocated by Probst (2004), Yalcintas (2008) and Yalcintas & Kaya (2009) for collecting data on floor space, building parameters and design, this study also collected electricity consumption data based on meter readings for the same blocks over the period March 2009 to April 2010. The retrofitting measures were documented and the associated costs noted. Interviews were conducted with key personnel such as the Central Energy Fund (CEF) House executives, the site electrical engineer, the developer, and Simba Office Park managers. Block AB had the least number of energy-efficient installations. Block C was found to be fully retrofitted, at a cost of more than R4 million. However, the energy management system, required to manage and monitor energy use, was only fully installed by November 2009. The results of this study are significant. It was found that energy consumption for Block C far exceeded that for Block AB. Thus, in this case, retrofitting did not reduce electricity consumption. The results demonstrate that in order to fully understand energy use, data collection and analysis must be ongoing. This verifies the findings of Ali (2008), Armstrong (2009) and Yalcintas & Kaya (2009) who found that we need to shift from managing buildings to managing energy use and assess and verify any recorded savings to ensure energy conservation. Computer-based building management systems play a major role in such management. Such a system was only partially in use in Block C for the duration of the study period. Thus, another finding was that the energy management system needs to be fully operational in real time, or else energy efficiencies cannot be achieved and data sets will be incomplete. This conclusion reflects the findings of Hirst (1980).

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / With the rapid growth of technology, scientists are trying to find ways to make the world a more efficient and eco-friendly place. The research and development of electric vehicles suddenly boomed since natural resource are becoming very scarce. The significance of an electric vehicle goes beyond using free energy, it is environ- mental friendly. The objective of this thesis is to understand what Vehicle to Grid Communication (V2G) for an electric vehicle is, and to implement a model of this highly efficient system into a Hybrid Petri Net. This thesis proposes a Hybrid Petri net modeling of Vehicle to Grid (V2G) Communication topology. Initially, discrete, continuous, and hybrid Petri net's are defined, familiarized, and exemplified. Secondly, the Vehicle and Grid side of the V2G communication system is introduced in detail. The modeling of individual Petri nets, as well as their combination is discussed thoroughly. Thirdly, in order to prove these systems, simulation and programming is used to validate the theoretical studies. A Matlab embedded simulation program known as SimHPN is used to simulate specific scenario's in the system, which uses Depth-first Search (DFS) Algorithm. In addition to SimHPN simulation program, Matlab program is made to output four levels of the reachability tree as well as specifying duplicate and terminate nodes. This code incorporates a technique known as Breadth-first Search (BFS) Algorithm.

This thesis focuses on the design and implementation of a software tool able to achieve electricity grid optimal management in a dynamic pricing environment, at the residential level, and from a customer's perspective. The main drivers encouraging a development of energy management at the home level are analyzed, and a system architecture modeling power, thermodynamic and economic subsystems is proposed. The user behavior is also considered. A mathematical formulation of the related energy management optimization problem is proposed based on the linear programming theory. Several cases involving controllable and non-controllable domestic loads as well as renewable energy sources are presented and simulation scenarios illustrate the proposed optimization strategy in each case. The performance of the controller and the changes in energy use are analyzed, and ideas for possible future work are discussed.

High-income households are important for advancing energy efficiency in South Africa and yet little is known about how to encourage lower energy use behaviour in this group. This paper sets out the case for wide-scale research into how to encourage high-income earners to be more energy efficient behaviour in the home and presents the results of a prototype study. Behaviour change research offers no one framework for investigating behaviour in this group. However, the Theory of Planned Behaviour is a model, which has been successfully employed to understand and formulate behaviour interventions across a wide range of subject, including household energy use. In order to understand the potential of this model as a way of investigating how to encourage energy efficient household behaviour of high-income earners, a study investigating the model's practical and theoretical issues and benefits was undertaken . Component A sets the case for the important role high-income earners can play in achieving energy efficiency targets, summarises the history of relevant psychological research and establishes a methodology for the study. Component B summarises the case for the study and presents the research results and lessons learned in the style of a journal paper. The results suggest that the model has promise. Attitudes, Subjective Norms and Perceived Behavioural Controls accounted for 63.7% of the variance in intention of the sample to be energy efficient in the home. However, the study indicates that the model, although useful, is not sufficient for understanding actual behaviour and informing appropriate practica l interventions. Consequently a number of suggestions are made as to how to design a future research approach. / Thesis (M.Env.Dev.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2005.

Power conservation has become a high priority to South African industries due to recent environmental assessments and electricity price hikes. This research aims to demonstrate to Industry the many simple and cost effective ways to increase their industrial efficiency with simple modifications, as well as making them more aware of common assembly errors that significantly increase power consumption. This has been accomplished with the design, construction and testing of a test rig capable of producing the desired test results which simulate Industry usage. A test rig was required to test certain energy efficient equipment. This dissertation contains an explanation of the tests required, as well as how they were conducted. These test requirements directed the design outcomes of the test rig. Due to the variety of equipment to be tested, and the accuracy required, the test rig had to be fully adjustable. The design process is explained in this dissertation, along with relevant theory with regard to the testing procedures. The testing procedures were designed to be as accurate as possible. The setup equipment and procedure is briefly explained to ensure an understanding of the capabilities of the test rig. This dissertation contains the results obtained from testing a variety of couplings, belts and motors under different conditions. The results obtained show the difference between the efficiency of a standard motor and that of a high efficiency motor. The efficiency comparison of the Poly V TM, Poly Chain® and SPB V-belts showed very distinct advantages and disadvantages of each belt. The coupling testing was conducted under conditions of misalignment, and resulted in distinct differences in the efficiencies of each coupling at different degrees of misalignments. The couplings tested were the Fenaflex®, the Quick-Flex®, and the Fenagrid® coupling. All results obtained were analyzed and discussed in the relevant sections. The results obtained showed that the high efficiency motor is significantly more efficient than the standard motor at full load, although at low loading, the motor efficiencies were very similar. The coupling tests showed the negative effects misalignment has on the efficiency of the Quick-Flex® and Fenagrid® coupling as well as the capability of the Fenaflex® coupling to withstand the effects of large misalignments without significant efficiency loss. v The belt testing revealed the advantages and disadvantages of each type of belt used. This showed that although the synchronous belt did not lose efficiency with decreased tension, it became unstable, and was difficult to keep on the pulley if not aligned correctly. The V-belts can handle low tension well. Prolonged use of the belts can cause them to stretch, lowering the tension into a “danger zone” that will cause the belts to slip. This slip can damage the belt and pulley. At the lower tension of the V-belt, although the efficiency increases slightly, the vibration of the slack side of the belt is significant, and can be dangerous as the belt could jump off the pulley. The Poly V TM belt has some of the advantages of the V-belt, except that it is unable to maintain its friction at low tension, as the belt width prevents it from being wedged into the grooves like the V-belt. The fluid coupling tests showed that the shock loading on a high inertia system can be significantly reduced with the aid of a fluid coupling. The reduced shock loading can reduce energy consumption, and increase the life of electric motors and the equipment that they drive by preventing excessive overloading. / Thesis (M.Sc.Eng.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2011.

Um outro objetivo é estudar o papel desses instrumentos (Selos e Padrões de Eficiência Energética) como meios de fornecer subsídios técnicos para o estabelecimento de níveis máximos de consumo de energia elétrica para equipamentos consumidores de eletricidade comercializados no Brasil. As metodologias ACCV e Análise Estatística permitem avaliar os impactos do aumento de eficiência energética nesses equipamentos, resultando em economias (de energia, financeiras, redução na emissão de dióxido de carbono, etc.) importantes para os consumidores e para o País. Os resultados alcançados nesse estudo apresentam importantes dados para subsidiar discussões mais aprofundadas com os fabricantes e governo para estipular padrões mínimos de eficiência energética para os refrigeradores brasileiros. Uma das importantes conclusões é que, apesar de existirem outras metodologias como a Análise Estatística, a ACCV que leva em conta os custos tecnológicos permite que se conheça melhor o mercado (custos, capacidades tecnológicas, etc.) e sugere os melhores Padrões Mínimos de Eficiência Energética (MEPS - Minimum Energy Performance Standards) com o máximo retomo econômico para o consumidor. Contudo, quando não é possível coletar todos os dados exigidos para a aplicação da ACCV, recorre-se a uma análise mais simplificada, ou seja, à metodologia de Análise Estatística / Abstract: The objective ofthis thesis is to discuss the application of the methodologies of Life Cycle Cost Analysis(LCCA) and of Statistical Analysis as tools to propose energy efficiency standards, complementally to the voluntary labels already existent in the Brazilian one-door refrigerators. Another objective is to study the role of these instruments (energy efficiency labels and standards) in order to seek technical subsidies for the establishment of maximum level of electric energy consumption for electrical equipments in Brazil. The LCCA and Statistical Analysis methodologies permit to evaluate the impacts of the energy efficiency increase in electrical equipments commercialized in Brazil, resulting in important savings (energy, financial, carbon dioxide emissions avoided etc) for the country and its citizens. The results of this study offer important data to subsidize deeper discussions with manufacturers and the govemment to stipulate minimum energy efficiency standards for the Brazilian refrigerators. One of the important conclusions is that, even though there are other methodologies, such as the Statistical Analysis which does not take technological costs into account, the LCCA allows to better understand the market (costs, technological capacity etc) and suggests the best MEPS (Minimum Energy Performance Standards) with the maximum economic retum for the consumer. Nevertheless, when it is not possible to collect all the necessary data to apply the LCCA, it can be used a more simplified analysis, such as the Statistical Analysis methodology / Mestrado / Mestre em Planejamento de Sistemas Energéticos

As maiores perdas na produção ocorrem em virtude dos dias muito quentes e das grandes variações térmicas, que são características do clima tropical. Uma alternativa para minimizar estas perdas é a utilização de sistemas diversos de climatização. No entanto, estes equipamentos apresentam custos de implantação, funcionamento e manutenção variáveis que podem interferir na lucratividade do empreendimento. A utilização de um sistema de controle, por exemplo, pode reduzir os custos de funcionamento dos equipamentos. Este trabalho objetivou avaliar a eficiência de diferentes instalações suinícolas, considerando os aspectos do desempenho dos animais, do conforto térmico e da utilização de energia elétrica. Foram comparadas quatro salas de criação de suínos nas fases de crescimento e terminação em uma granja comercial. As salas estudadas são diferentes sob os pontos de vista de construção e climatização (idade dos equipamentos, número de ventiladores, forma de controle da climatização). Os parâmetros utilizados para a comparação entre as edificações foram o desempenho dos animais, condição sanitária do plantel, variáveis climáticas (temperatura e umidade), entalpia e índice de conforto térmico (ITU), variáveis elétricas (consumo, demanda e fator de potência) e índices de eficiência energética dos tratamentos. A utilização de dois ventiladores novos e sistema de nebulização, ambos com acionamento automático, foi capaz de proporcionar melhor conforto térmico aos animais, embora este resultado não tenha sido suficiente para agregar maior produção. Os ventiladores mais novos consumiram menor quantidade de energia elétrica que os antigos e apresentaram melhor fator de potência O tratamento que contou com sistema de nebulização e um ventilador, acionados manualmente, que forneceu a pior condição em termos de conforto térmico, porém apresentou as melhores condições de consumo específico (kg produzido/ kWh consumido). De acordo com a análise dos índices de eficiência energética (fator de carga), os ventiladores com acionamento automático foram melhores utilizados ao longo do tempo. Assim, concluiu-se que a utilização de controle automático de equipamentos de climatização foi capaz de melhorar as condições ambientais e da utilização de energia elétrica / Abstract: A great challenge in the swine production is the definition of a construction model capable of bringing a better thermal comfort to the animals. The greatest losses on production occur due very hot days and great thermal variation, which are the chief characteristics of the tropical weather. An alternative to minimize these losses is the use of diverse climate systems. Nevertheless, these equipment present variable implementation, functioning and maintenance costs that may interfere in the business lucrativity. The use of a control system, for instance, may reduce the equipment functioning costs. This work's main goal is the evaluation on performance of two different swine buildings, considering the animal performance, thermal comfort and electric energy consumption. Four rooms placed on two different swine structures were compared. It all happened on growing and finishing phases, in a commercial pigsty. These rooms are different under building and acclimatization systems (equipment¿s age, numbers of fans and climate control). The parameters used for the comparison between the buildings were the animal performance, group sanitary condition, climate variables (temperature and humidity), enthalpy, thermal comfort index (THI), electric energy variables (electric energy consumption, power factor, demand) and energetic efficiency. The use of two new fans and evaporative cooling system, both with automatic startup, was able to bring a better thermal comfort to the animals, however this result was not enough for bringing higher production. The newer fans consume less electric energy than the older fans and showed the best power factor. The use of an evaporative cooling and only one fan, without automatic control, was able to bring the worst thermal comfort, the worst utilization electrical energy index and showed the best specific consumption. Therefore, we may conclude that the use of an automatic control system to the climate equipment is capable of improving the environmental conditions and the use of electric energy / Mestrado / Construções Rurais e Ambiencia / Mestre em Engenharia Agrícola
