Estudo de caso: estudo sobre a mudança da matriz energética no descarregamento de granéis sólidos a partir de silos rodoviários

Abstract

Study and application of the power matrix exchange used in the discharging process of solid bulk transported in silos by road modal. The present study presents analysis and results of the replacement of combustion powered engines by electric engines in the solid bulk discharging operation, sustainably, which will result in benefits for the environment as well as better cost efficiency. The method used is a single case study carried out in a road freight transport company with an exploratory and qualitative research approach, identifying and analyzing numerically measured data. It was found that the replacement of the power matrix is economically and environmentally feasible, promoting an increase in the production capacity and significant reduction of carbonic gas emission and greenhouse effect gases. Therefore, from these results, we can conclude that the replacement of the power matrix offers economic and environmental gains in the cement transport chain, on a global scale, by using the operational solution presented in this academic study.
