Electric Energy Study Applied to Six Industrial SMES Companies of the City of Bogota

Abstract

An energy efficiency study was made to six SMEs as a sample of different industries in Bogotá. The goal of this research is to implement the benefits of the energetical efficiency. The failures must be identified to propose the ideal solutions in the operation and production to minimize the energy consumption and reducing the CO2 emissions to the atmosphere, if the electric energy is produced by a thermoelectric way. With this diagnosis is expected to present the technical failures found in the analysis to recommend general improvements, it will allow to begin the optimization in the use of the energy at the SMEs. This study can be translated to other enterprises in the same industrial sectors, contributing to the strategic plan of the national energy and mining investigation program.
