Reducción de consumo de energía y los costos operativos en TUBASEC, aplicando un programa de uso eficiente de la energía.

Abstract

This work was carried out in the factory TUBASEC, the same as It aims, show that implementing a program of efficient use of Electric Power, you can obtained energy savings and reduced operating costs. He proceeded to perform an energy audit, for which the support of dif technical erentes both maintenance and production, lifting the information was held installed, used and times using different equipment load, considering the different production processes in each one plant. With the information available could identify the problem of inefficient use of energy, which allowed for the approach of the technical alternatives - economic project saving electricity; implementing recommended in this paper alternatives, would achieve the following savings:  No investment savings 120.230Kwh / year, would obtain a decrease of 70 kW in billable demand, which represents a saving of US $ 16,864 H W or.  With an investment of US $ 26,013, a savings of 258,960 kWh / year would get a 70 Kw decrease in billable demand and US $ 30,796 a year, so the investment would be recovered in 0.84 years if it is done with equity and 0.95 years if is with bank loan. As you can see the savings are so important, TUBASEC should undertake in the program described in this work which savings of 15% would be achieved at approximately its monthly payroll for energy consumption electric, it will reduce operating costs.
