Estudo da viabilidade da utilização de sistemas de automação visando a redução dos gastos com energia elétrica em residências

Abstract

This work presents an analysis of the impact generated, in the consumption of electric energy, through the implementation of an automation system in a residence. The proposed automation system would be responsible for managing the electronic equipment of the house and its lighting system. A hypothetical residence was designed in an arbitrary way as one of the objects of study of this research, so that it was possible to estimate the energy consumption levels of this residence with and without the proposed automation system, which were 348.21 kWh / month and 331.02 kWh / month, respectively. With this, it was possible to estimate a percentage reduction of about 5% in the energy consumption of this residence. In addition, it was investigated the time of return of the investment with the proposed automation system and found a Payback around 23 months. The proposed automation system allows a reduction in the consumption of electric energy of a given residence, without compromising, impacting or rationing the habits of users with the use of electric energy, only making their consumption more efficient, minimizing possible moments of wasted energy. Finally, it is possible to verify the level of feasibility in the implementation of the proposed automation system. As the residence of this study was defined arbitrarily, it is possible to stipulate that the results found for this study can be extrapolated and adapted to other residences with different singularities.
