Estudo de conservação de energia elétrica evidenciando proposta de modulação de potência de forno elétrico em uma indústria alimentícia

Abstract

This work presents an electric energy conservation study taken in a food industry, focusing on increasing the energy efficiency of the installation and consequently cost reduction. In the text, the problems identified are approached and actions are proposal to be taken by the responsible people, like power factor correction, power demand contract readjustment and inefficient equipment replacement, among others. Also, it is called into question the installation of an electric oven with power modulation to supply a future production expansion, with dimensioning adjustment of the oven and all the associated electrical components. It is still exposed on a small scale prototype of a command system which has proven to be able to apply the power modulation in resistive loads.
