Projeto e análise de eficiência energética de posto de combustível

Abstract

This paper aims to present a study about energy efficiency in a 24/7 gas station established in Caxias do Sul which has the use of a compressor for CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) supply. The establishment is A4 Green rated and commercial wholesaler classed. It also has a single contracted demand of 130Kw. In this article, we deal with the management and better use of electricity. We evaluate and analyze all electricity consumption levels and, based in that, we carried out monthly characterizations of the patterns of each equipment connected to the network, seeking to find ways to mitigate losses and consequently save related resources by exchanging current IR2 engines for IR3 Premium. In addition, this study will evaluate the possibility of installing an independent generator, either with solar energy plates or using a diesel and CNG generator for rush hours, which proportionally are the most costly schedules for the establishment. After the financial analysis of the evaluated actions, it was considered that they would all be beneficial in the generated savings, and that they would bring a financial return after a determined period.
