Abstract

The industrial sector is the largest energy consumer in the world. In this sector, companies classified as non-energy intensive have untapped energy efficiency potential, such as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Previous research aimed at studying this untapped potential present a technological solution and do not address conjunctural risks and uncertainties that may influence the adoption of a technological solution. This study aimed to estimate the Long-term Financial Impact of Solar Microgeneration and Energy Efficiency on a Medium-Sized Brazilian Company. System Dynamics Modeling was used to simulate the impact to the company of investing in new technologies of 6 in different scenarios. Those scenarios considering the insertion of distributed solar power generation and energy efficiency practices, as well as the possible variations of energy supply and demand. The estimated financial results of each scenario are presented considering the assumptions of the computational model. The developed model can be used to visualize alternatives and make decisions in similar situations.

估算巴西中型企业太阳能微发电和能源效率的长期财务影响

工业部门是世界上最大的能源消耗国。在这一部门，被归类为非能源密集型的公司具有尚未开发的能源效率潜力，例如中小企业。先前旨在研究这一未开发潜力的研究提出了一种技术解决方案，而没有解决可能影响技术解决方案采用的共同风险和不确定性。本研究旨在评估太阳能微型发电和能源效率对巴西一家中型公司的长期财务影响。系统动力学建模用于模拟在不同场景下投资6的新技术对公司的影响。这些场景考虑了分布式太阳能发电和能效实践的引入，以及能源供应和需求的可能变化。考虑到计算模型的假设，给出了每个场景的估计财务结果。所开发的模型可用于可视化备选方案，并在类似情况下做出决策。
