Panorama da eficiência energética idealizada pelo PROCEL Indústria.

Abstract

Energy efficiency can be considered the greatest potential in the Brazilian industrial sector in terms of economy. The Government through actions developed by Procel Industry, promotes the efficient use of electrical energy in the industrial sector, however there are several difficulties in the implementation of such initiatives. In this report are mentioned important aspects of the theory that should be considered when implementing energy management in an industry, as well as a few proposals to improve the state’s development, as to the University contribution. Searching for new strategies, successful cases and techniques used in countries that are reference in this subject, such as Japan and the US, can be studied and replicated. An important aspect to consider, considering the country’s development, is the research and development at the university level, so that initiatives such as the implementation of a Laboratory for Optimization of Motor Systems and the creation of an extension course focused on the area of energy efficiency should be encouraged in a university with UFCG’s size.
