Procel Results 2012 Baseyear2011 English

The world has been facing many challenges to ensure a development based on actions toward the supply of sustainable energy, optimizing the use of natural resources. Thus, energy efficiency - an area in which Brazil has emerged over the years - is among the most valuable solutions, concerning not only the environment, but economic and social aspects as well.

Although energy efficiency already shows significant progress, Eletrobras believes that investing in education is the only way to reach broader and lasting results. Thus, Eletrobras and Roberto Marinho Foundation launched this year the project “Energia que Transforma” (Energy that Transforms), which consists in TV and radio shows joined by robust printed materials. In addition, the project includes several awareness actions to take the concepts of energy and sustainability to society, focusing mainly on issues related to energy efficiency. Such initiative applies a methodology developed by the Foundation, named “Novo Telecurso”, and it will be applied at first in the states of Acre, Amazonas, Pernambuco, and Rio de Janeiro, after that, it will be available nationwide. Procel Results 2012 Report, base year 2011, adopted illustrations inspired by this initiative that will be shown along this edition.

However, other significant activities were held in 2011 and are emphasized here, such as the granting of Procel Eletrobras Seal to 3,784 different models of equipment, as well as the granting of 20 National Energy Conservation Labels to residential, commercial, public, and service related buildings.

These and other actions led to energy savings of 6.696 billion kWh, corresponding to 1.56% of the entire national electricity consumption in that year, also preventing the release of 196 thousand tons of carbon equivalent to the atmosphere. To achieve these results, Eletrobras Procel counted on a network of partnerships, both public and private, which joined toward a common goal: efficiency in production and energy use.

Among these partnerships, the National Institute of Metrology, Quality, and Technology - Inmetro stands out, which already has a lasting relationship with Eletrobras in the implementation of energy efficiency projects. Due to significant results that Inmetro has been achieving, we invited the Institute to include in this report a consolidation of the main achievements made by the Brazilian Labeling Program - PBE in 2011.

Thus, in its fiftieth anniversary, Eletrobras is pleased to present these results, which come from the engagement of its professionals, who run since 1985, under the coordination of the Ministry of Mines and Energy - MME, the National Electricity Conservation Program - Procel, promoting energy efficiency in Brazil.

Program results in 2011

Procel was created on December 30, 1985, and is a Brazilian government’s Program, coordinated by the MME and ran by Eletrobras. Its purpose is to promote the efficient use of electric energy and manage its waste. The energy results accomplished by Eletrobras Procel contribute to improve quality of life of population and efficiency in goods and services. In addition, they postpone investments in the electric sector, reducing environmental impacts.

Based on market estimates, on application of specific methodologies to assess results and on additional information, Eletrobras Procel reached energy savings of approximately 6.696 billion kWh in 2011. This energy can still be converted to avoided emissions of 196 thousand tons of carbon (tCo

2)1 equivalent,

which also corresponds to emissions by 67,000 vehicles2 in one year.

This result is equivalent to 1.56% of the total electric energy consumption in Brazil in the period, as well to the annual energy

1The average emission factor of Co2 equivalent was used, available at http://www.mct.gov.br/index.php/content/view/321144.html#ancora for 2011. The purpose of this factor is to estimate Co2 equivalent associated to a certain generation of electric energy.2According to 2006 IPCC guidelines for National greenhouse gas Inventories and consultation to experts on the area.

consumption of about 3.6 million Brazilian households, or to the energy provided, in one year, by a hydroelectric plant with 1,606 MW power. Moreover, Eletrobras Procel was accountable for a 2,619 MW reduction in demand in peak time.

Table 1 presents the main energy results achieved by Eletrobras Procel, while Table 2 shows some indicators resulting from the energy savings obtained along the year. Table 3, in turn, shows the financial resources invested in Procel, which totaled BRL 95.56 million.

3 The equivalent power plant was obtained from the energy savings, considering a 56% average power factor for power plants and including 15% average losses in T&D. The losses level was con-sidered, once large part of electric power usage is found in the low voltage distribution system.4 The electric energy consumption in Brazil was 430 billion kWh in 2011. The corresponding resi-dential consumption was 112 billion kWh (Monthly overview of the Electric Energy Market, year v, issue 32, January 2012, EPE).5 Considering that the average electric energy consumption of a Brazilian household is 155.4 kWh per month (Monthly overview of the Electric Energy Market, year v, issue 32, January 2012, EPE).

The global energy results accomplished by the Program were due mainly to the Procel Eletrobras Seal, pointing out the attention given to the final consumer, providing guidance and incentive to purchase more efficient equipment. This result, attributed to Procel Eletrobras Seal, incorporates the inextricably linked contribution of the National Energy Conservation Label - ENCE, granted by Inmetro.

Along the years, the Seal has helped to boost energy efficiency rates of several equipment; thus, to reduce significantly the electric energy consumption in the country.

Chart 1, for example, shows the evolution of the average electric energy consumption of 7,500 BTu/h window air conditioners, part of PBE. In thirteen years, there was a reduction of more than 31% in the electric energy consumption of such equipment, a result from the technological development encouraged by Procel Eletrobras Seal.

Procel results and achievements By area of activity in 2011

Eletrobras Procel has subprograms that work directly in actions and projects for the private and public sectors (Procel Reluz, Procel Sanear, Procel gEM, Procel Edifica, Procel EPP, and Procel Industry). There are also subprograms to reach society in general, such as the promotion of efficient technologies and dissemination of information (Procel Seal and Procel Info), as well as the promotion of a change in habits and of academic training (Procel Education). This section presents the main accomplishments made by Eletrobras Procel in each one of these actions.

Procel education

The purpose of Procel Education is to develop actions to build knowledge, skills, competencies, attitudes, and values for the efficient use of energy by the Brazilian citizen, to consolidate education toward energy efficiency in the country. Thus, the subprogram works with basic education and professional qualification (technical, undergraduate, and postgraduate

degrees), as well in the implementation of lab networks and research centers on energy efficiency. In 2011, Procel Education projects counted on investments from Eletrobras of about BRL 4.6 million, made through agreements with universities and institutions renowned by the quality of teaching.

In basic education, the subprogram has benefited more than 24 million students since 1995. In 2010 and 2011 only, according to the National Agency for Electric Energy - ANEEL, 8,064 schools, 51,705 teachers, and 2,703,417 students from the public system were benefited by “Procel nas Escolas” (Procel in the Schools), a program ran by the electric power utilities (according to Law 9991/2000).

During 2011, the electric power utilities invested close to BRL 15 million of resources from the Energy Efficiency Program - PEE, running educational projects throughout the country, based on the methodology developed by Procel Education.

Among the actions, Eletrobras established a partnership with Roberto Marinho Foundation to develop a new didactic material named “Energia que Transforma” (Energy that Transforms). The material is composed of TV and radio shows, printed material, and several implementation and awareness actions to be held firstly in the states of Acre, Amazonas, Pernambuco, and Rio de Janeiro, which use a methodology named “Novo Telecurso®”. This material will also be available for electric power utilities as an additional methodology developed by Eletrobras Procel for educational projects under the PEE required by ANEEL.. The graphics and images of this project’s Tv shows were chosen to create the visual identity of Procel Results Report 2012 - base year 2011, as shown in the document illustrations.


For professional qualification, Eletrobras Procel has partnerships with universities throughout the country. To consolidate a lab network and research centers on energy efficiency, Procel has qualified 44 labs on teaching and research skills, and two centers for excellence, the Center for Excellence in Energy Efficiency of Amazon - Ceamazon, at the Federal university of Pará - uFPA, and the Center for Excellence in Energy Efficiency – Excen, at the Federal university of Itajubá - unifei. Moreover, the Education Center for Energy Efficiency, at the São Paulo State university - unesp, in the city of guaratinguetá, state of São Paulo, and the Center for Excellence in Energy Efficiency, at the Federal university of Campina grande - uFCg are under implementation stage.

The purpose of the centers for excellence is to develop and disseminate advanced educational tools in energy efficiency, at theoretical and practical levels, as well as to develop and follow up studies on energy optimization. The target audience are undergraduate and postgraduate students and energy professionals. In addition, the centers for excellence have other lines of action in compliance with Eletrobras demands, for example, Excen, which works in the development of methodologies for evaluating results of Eletrobras Procel actions, based on Measurement and verification tools - M&v and on international protocols.

Regarding academic production, since Excen inauguration in December 2006 until late 2011, a total of 64 Master’s theses was approved in the postgraduate course of Energy Engineering.

Concerning the scientific production of Excen professors, researchers, or students in 2011, 13 papers were published in proceedings of national and international conferences, as well as four full articles in journals. It is noteworthy the publication of a book by professors and researchers of the Center, which topic is biofuels. All these documents can be accessed at Excen website (www.excen.com.br).

In partnership with Excen, Procel Education implemented a distance learning course named “Energe”. The course audience are undergraduate and postgraduate students and it approaches the several theoretical and practical aspects of the efficient use of energy. Moreover, it is supported by up-to-date computer tools. In 2011, the course received two more classes, consisting of students from unifei and unesp universities, counting on a total of 31 students.

The year of 2011 also included training sessions and lectures, focusing on the themes of energy and energy efficiency. Nine short-term in class courses were held, including undergraduate and postgraduate students from unifei. Moreover, six lectures and debates were organized to present news and recent information for the students.

unifei coordinates not only the educational activities on energy efficiency, but also, since 2008, a program to manage water supply systems, striving to implement a work routine for the Hydraulic Mobile Lab.

The Integrated Nucleus for Technical Qualification - Nicatec, implemented at Roge Foundation in the city of Delfim Moreira, state of Minas gerais, through an agreement with Eletrobras, has strengthened the educational actions related to technical qualification, both in urban and rural areas. The equipment and benches acquired by the agreement are used by students who attend technical courses taught at Roge Foundation. Moreover, the energy efficiency topic was included in the curricula of the technical courses.

17


Finally, the “Casa genial” (genial House) at the Technology and Science Museum of Pontifical Catholic university of Rio grande do Sul - PuCRS is another important project. Its goal is to simulate a complete house environment to encourage students to adopt efficient practices in their daily lives, pointing out economic and environmental benefits. In 2011, more than 10,700 people participated in the activities proposed while visiting the House.

Procel info

The Brazilian Energy Efficiency Information Center - Procel Info was created to manage, in a systematic way, the dissemination of information on the efficient use of electric energy. The Center gathers, generates, organizes, and advertises qualified information, produced in the country or abroad, related to energy efficiency.

The Center’s main product is available to the public at its Web Portal (www.procelinfo.com.br). The Web Portal provides those interested in energy efficiency access to the knowledge database and to a safe web environment of exchange and integration, provided by several aid tools.

energy savings of 6.636 billion kWh

It is noteworthy that the energy outcome achieved in 2011 is the result of the successful partnership between Eletrobras Procel and Inmetro, working as base for joint actions of several technical and management cooperation, so the merit of the saved energy is always shared between both institutions. Moreover, there was the collaboration of Eletrobras Cepel, of testing labs designated by Inmetro for PBE, of manufacturers associations and of university researchers who support and subsidize energy efficiency programs.

Such results tend to increase each year, once Eletrobras Procel has been developing feasibility studies to add new equipment in the energy efficiency evaluation process. For example, microwave ovens, table fans, and TV sets in active mode will be soon added to the subprogram.

Concerning the testing lab network to grant Procel Eletrobras Seal, there is a systematic supervision of the tests through a specific computer tool. This network is composed of more than 20 labs in research centers and universities, involving more than 150 professionals, and investments of about BRL 16 million from Eletrobras. In 2011, more than 5,000 tests were performed concerning energy efficiency in equipment.

solar heating in households

given the great potential of solar energy, Eletrobras Procel has focused part of its actions to disseminate the use of such energy for water heating. The incentive to the use of solar heating systems generates benefits for the electric system, releasing load from peak times, and also providing economic savings for users, once 24% of all electric energy in Brazilian households is used to heat water for showering.

Eletrobras Procel established partnerships with renowned labs in Brazil, such as with the Pontifical Catholic university of Minas gerais - PuC-Mg and with the Institute for Technological Research - IPT, which purpose was to provide a technological infrastructure for energy efficiency tests in solar collectors and thermal storage tanks. Therefore, the program developed a broad field research to evaluate issues related to maintenance, sizing, and quality of installations services concerning solar water heating systems. Such research became the ground to generate an action plan for the Program, which counted on the support from the german agency gIZ. Moreover, it subsidized the Ministry of Environment - MMA to develop a Brazilian plan to spread solar energy information, striving to double the installed area of solar collectors in Brazil up to 2015.

Among the actions in 2011, the partnership with uNA university Center, in the city of Belo Horizonte, state of Minas gerais, to develop a project to create regional centers for professional qualification and M&v studies, giving priority to the government’s housing program “Minha Casa Minha vida” (PMCMv). The project total investment is of BRL 3.9 million, including the purchase of didactic workbenches for tests and funding for scholarships to researchers and students.

The first milestone in this project was the national launch of Eletrobras Procel Solar Network, held by the President of Eletrobras, José Carvalho da Costa Neto, in July 2011, in the city of Belo Horizonte. In addition to uNA university Center, the Network added the Federal Institute of Bahia - IFBA, the Federal Institute of Santa Catarina - IFSC, the uFPA, and the Foundation for Support to Technical School - Faetec, in Rio de Janeiro, with the goal to train 2,000 students up to 2014. In 2012, the Network will add two more institutions, the F e d e r a l university of Brasilia - unB and the State Center for Te c h n o l o g i c a l Education Paula Souza, in São Paulo.

Procel ePP: PuBlic Buildings

Procel EPP develops, among others, the following actions: support to agents involved in the management of public buildings, promotion of demonstrative projects, support to establishment of standards, implementation of infrastructure, and support to electric power utilities in energy efficiency projects.

In 2011, Procel EPP developed and made available for testing the Software for Registration of Public Buildings and their Respective Administrators, the Software for Price Database, which helps in the approval of projects funded by the RgR, as well as the Software for Registration and Analysis of Projects.

Another important result of Procel EPP in 2011 was the patent registration of the Module for Instrumentation, Control, and Automation - Mica. Mica is an electric module for tests and simulations of different scenarios and devices required in domotics systems, with a strong didactic appeal. This device was developed in partnership with the Federal university of Minas gerais - uFMg and the Federal Center for Technological Education of Minas gerais - Cefet/Mg.

The subprogram also concluded and made available for download six technical manuals on energy efficiency in public buildings. Still in 2011, Ruling 1752/2011 - Plenary was published by the Brazilian Federal Court of Auditors, which reinforces the role of Procel EPP by the recommendation that Eletrobras promotes advertising, under Procel EPP, of the RgR, and of the portion of resources from Law 9991, 2000, as sources of financing for energy efficiency actions to the government. It also recommended Eletrobras to seek solutions so RgR’s funds can be used to finance actions for energy efficiency in federal buildings.

Procel gem: municiPal energy management

The mission of Procel gEM is to assist municipalities to save on electric energy costs. Thus, it cooperates with the public administrator toward the efficient use and management of energy in the municipal facilities, in the identification of opportunities to cut back wastes, and in the supervision of electric energy expenses. As a result, there will be more funding to apply in sectors with more urgent needs in the municipality.

In 2011, the training “Electric Energy Saving in Municipalities”, for municipalities’ employees, was held in the cities of Belo Horizonte, Mg, Campo grande, MS, and Maceió, AL. The training sessions counted on 236 technicians from 96 municipalities. Moreover, two Municipal Energy Management Plans - Plamges in the cities of Boa vista, RR, and Timon, MA, were concluded together with ten plans under development, all in partnership with Eletrobras Eletronorte.

The conclusion of the “Municipal Energy Management Learning Communities Project” also stands out among the initiatives, held in the state of Rondônia, in partnership with Eletrobras Distribuição Rondônia, through Aneel’s PEE. Due to Procel gEM support, ten municipal agents for energy efficiency from eight municipalities in the state were trained.

Procel industry

Procel Industry strives to provide technical support to the different industrial segments concerning improvement of energy performance of their facilities. Today, the program focuses its actions on optimizing motor driven systems (drive, electrical motors, coupling, driven loads, fluid mechanic facilities). This type of end use is accountable for about 60% of electric energy consumption in the industrial sector and 28% of the total consumption of electricity in the country, holding the highest potential for electrical losses.

The subprogram develops activities to encourage energy efficiency, through agreements and protocols with industry state federations, the National Confederation of Industry - CNI, universities, the Brazilian Service of Support for Micro and Small Enterprises - Sebrae and class associations.

The subprogram plays an important role with federations of industry, aiming to identify the greatest potential for energy savings in motor driven systems, to train multipliers and industrial agents in energy efficiency, to develop and implement economically feasible actions proposed in energy diagnosis, and to disseminate their results. Since its creation up to the end of 2011, 206 multipliers (university professors and consultants) and 2,907 agents (technicians and engineers from industries) were trained out of a total of 690 industries. The partnership with the Federation of Industries of Rio grande do Sul State - Fiergs provided 845 MWh of energy savings and an average investment return of 17.6 months, resulting in 35 gWh of estimated energy savings, accumulated to the subprogram up to the end of 2011, with an average investment return of 15 months.

Procel Industry still includes the implementation of Energy Efficiency Labs in Driven Systems - Lamotriz, in associated public universities and institutions, encouraging teaching, research, and extension activities toward the energy efficiency market of

31


the Brazilian industrial sector. Today, the Lamotriz Network is composed of 14 labs. Since the Network creation, a total of 104 scholarships were funded, once: PhD (2), Master’s degree (21), and Bachelor’s degree (81).

Another noteworthy activity, in partnership with the National Confederation of Industry - CNI and Euvaldo Lodi Institute - IEL concerns the completion of studies to point out technical potentials for energy conservation in 14 segments of the industrial sector. The results of such activity were published in 2011.

In Rio de Janeiro, Procel Industry works with Sebrae-RJ, focusing on micro and small enterprises. In 2011, the first training in Brazil on energy efficiency related to bioclimatic architecture in this sector was conducted.

Moreover, there was a broad participation of the subprogram in the Technical Committee TC 242 - Management of Energy and its commitment involving international efforts to develop technical standards, which led to the publication of ISo 50001, on June 15, 2011 in Switzerland, and to the national launch of its mirror standard, ISo 50001 in São Paulo, in July of the same year.

Finally, the event “uS BRAZIL Industrial Energy Efficiency Workshop” held in August 2011, was sponsored by Procel Industry together with Eletrobras Cepel and the uS Department of Energy - DoE. The general purpose of the event was to debate on the situation of energy efficiency in the industrial sector of united States and Brazil, aiming to establish a strategic partnership between both countries under the Multilateral group, composed of the eight world’s largest companies in the electricity sector, called E8.

Procel reluZ: efficient PuBlic lighting and traffic signals

Procel Reluz operates in the entire national territory and its role is basically to implement energy efficiency projects in public lighting and traffic light systems. The program’s activities include replacement of incandescent, mixed, and mercury-vapor lamps for high pressure sodium-vapor lamps and metallic-vapor ones, more efficient than the formers. Concerning traffic light systems, incandescent lamps are replaced by systems that operate with LEDs, which last longer and take 90% less energy.

Thus, a 250W mercury-vapor lamp, for example, can be replaced by a 150W sodium-vapor one, keeping the same illuminance level. Thus, it frees 100W from the electric power demanded by the system. Besides the lamps, other equipment is replaced or installed, such as photoelectric switches, electromagnetic ballasts, starters, lighting fixtures, and support arms.

In 2011, the total electric energy savings and peak demand reduction, resulting from Procel Reluz actions, were 58.03 million kWh and 13,213 kW, respectively.

Such results came from the replacement of more than 223 thousand public lighting points in 65 cities, spread out in eight Brazilian states. The replacement of these lighting points required investments of about BRL 91 million, an amount 176% higher compared to 2010 financial resources.

Since 2000, Procel Reluz has already replaced more than 2.5 million public lighting points across the country, benefiting and improving the quality of life of the population.

In addition to the funding of projects for modernization of public lighting and traffic lights, the indication of Procel Reluz to the 10 finalists in the “greenBest Award for 2011” was noteworthy,

33


which is the most notorious award for sustainability conducted in the Internet.

Another important action concerns the agreement made with the Federal university of Juiz de Fora - uFJF to evaluate a pilot program for public lighting with LED lamps. The agreement will also analyze the components, the reproduction of certain items of the system in labs, and the luminotechnical and

electrical performance of the installation along the coming years. In 2011, several lab tests were performed in LED lighting fixtures to ensure the minimum standards of product quality. In addition, the installation of LED lighting fixtures and field luminotechnical tests are foreseen for the first half of 2012.

Procel sanear: environmental sanitation

The purpose of the Program for Energy Efficiency in Environmental Sanitation - Procel Sanear is to promote energy efficiency in the environmental sanitation sector, as well as to manage the use of water and reduce its waste.

Thus, the subprogram works with strategic partnerships to provide energy efficiency training to professionals from environmental sanitation companies, to encourage the development of projects on energy efficiency and to prevent water and electric energy waste in the sanitation and irrigation sectors. Another aim is to support Applied Research, Development, and Innovation - R&D+I in the country, particularly through the Lenhs Network - Laboratories for Energy Efficiency in Hydraulic and Sanitation.

During 2011, the following activities were carried out:

over the years, Inmetro and Eletrobras, through Procel, have kept close technical and institutional cooperation in the implementation of the Brazilian Labeling Program and of Procel Eletrobras Seal Program. Such cooperation has been essential to make these programs even more recognized by society and therefore providing increasingly energy savings throughout the country.

Thus, it is with great pleasure that we accept Eletrobras invitation to present in this chapter a consolidation of PBE major achievements in 2011.

We also take this opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to this partnership, in order to generate results that will be even more successful for the years to come.

Alfredo Carlos orphão LoboInmetro Quality Director


PBe/inmetro consolidated results in 2011

In 1984, Inmetro started to discuss with the society on the creation of programs to evaluate conformity focused on performance, the purpose was to contribute to the rationalization of energy use in Brazil by providing information about energy efficiency of equipment available in the internal market.

Meant for the automotive sector at first, due to oil crises that affected the world in the 70s, this project was redirected, expanded, and was named as Brazilian Labeling Program - PBE, coordinated by Inmetro.

PBE’s goals are:•Provide useful information that may influence the purchasing decision of consumers, who can take into account other features, besides the price, when buying products;•Encourage competitiveness of industry through induction of a continuous improvement process promoted by the conscious choice of consumers.

PBE encourages innovation and technological progress of products, working as a tool to reduce energy consumption, aligned with the goals of the 2030 National Energy Plan - PNE and of the National Energy Efficiency Plan - PNEf.

The program also strives for the effective implementation of Law 10295 of october 17, 2001, known as Energy Efficiency Law. Therefore, PBE has established requirements related to product performance, setting minimum levels of energy efficiency by the Management Committee of Indicators and Levels of Energy Efficiency - CgIEE, an inter-ministerial forum created by this Law.

Currently, PBE is composed of 38 Programs for Conformity Evaluation in several stages of implementation, including from the labeling of white goods such as stoves, refrigerators, and air conditioners, as well as the area of renewable resources (solar

38

water heating systems and photovoltaic power generation systems). In addition, it includes areas that are more complex and that hold high potential of energy savings for the country, such as buildings and motor vehicles.

The inclusion of these last two items shows a tendency, for the coming year, for the number and complexity of programs to increase. Thus, PNEf, in a stage of imminent implementation by the MME, reinforces the importance of considering PBE as strategic, along with other initiatives to achieve energy savings goals established in the 2030 PNE.

The PBE programs are coordinated in partnership with the National Program for the Rationalization of the use of oil and Natural gas Byproducts - Conpet and Procel. Both government initiatives managed, respectively by Petrobras and Eletrobras, highlight the most efficient products, and accelerate the technical development of equipment.

Thus, the significant energy results generated by the labeling programs and by Procel Eletrobras Seal for equipment that use electric energy have a direct relationship with the partnership between Eletrobras Procel and Inmetro. Such results are celebrated and shared among such institutions.

national energy consErvaTion laBEl - EncELabeling is a way of highlighting, through a stamp with information, the compliance of specific equipment to performance requirements established in technical standards and regulations.

ENCE classifies equipment, vehicles and buildings in colored bands, usually from “A” (most efficient) to “E” (least efficient), and provides other relevant information, for example, the washing and water use efficiency in clothes washer machines.

According to a study ordered by Inmetro to research institutions, concluded in February/March 2010 to assess the level of knowledge and trust that the population has on Inmetro, about 78% of Brazilian consumers consider the ENCE information in their buying decision.

Moreover, according to surveys, more than 40% of the population gives attention to Inmetro brand, choosing to buy a product that holds it, even if it is 10% more expensive.

Inmetro monitors, monthly, consumers’ visits to energy efficiency tables of PBE, published on its website. In 2011, the monthly average of hits was close to 30,000, as shown in Chart 10. Currently, studies are being conducted for comparative benchmarks, so growth targets may be established in 2012.

main achievements

feasiBility and imPact studies

one of the activities performed by Inmetro in implementing programs of conformity evaluation, it is the elaboration of Impact and Technical Feasibility Studies to support decision making regarding the development or not of a program, as well as the selection of the conformity evaluation mechanism to be used. Moreover, the studies help to define the accuracy of technical and evaluation requirements to be established, and they point out the economic, environmental, and social impacts triggered by the regulation.

In 2011, Impact and Technical Feasibility Studies were conducted for sodium vapor lamps, mixed lamps, and tires.

efficiency levels revisionone of PBE’s policy is to continuously monitor the amount of product models belonging to the label higher classes (“A” and “B”), revising levels and technical criteria whenever there is an accumulation of products in such classes, thus, preserving the information provided to consumers.

In 2011, the levels for air conditioners, refrigerators, clothes washer machines, gas stoves, gas ovens, and gas water heaters were revised. The publications of the respective updates will take place in the first half of 2012.

In order to launch ENCE for new equipment and to keep the current programs updated, Inmetro published 25 decrees of several programs, found at www.inmetro.gov.br/legislation.

The indicators for 2011 show very low rates of irregularity for the market, proving that the inspection held by Inmetro agencies was efficient, as well as the approval process of import licenses, held by local authorities.

evaluation of Product conForMiTy MainTEnancE - acPThe evaluation of conformity maintenance takes place every year, consisted of selection and collection of products samples available in the factories or in the market for testing in labs accredited by Inmetro.

The purpose of this tool is to evaluate if suppliers, over time, keep the characteristics reported in the ENCE, concerning performance and safety. The non-conformity cases must be corrected by suppliers according to terms and conditions established by the regulations. Table 7 shows some results obtained in 2011 in this evaluation process.

In case suppliers have not submitted samples for testing or have not proven corrective actions, they are prohibited from importing and selling their products.

The non-conformity rates observed for refrigerators, televisions, air conditioners, and compact fluorescent lamps were considered worrisome. Therefore, Inmetro revised the regulation concerning sanctions to be applied and will publish a specific administrative rule requesting suppliers to re-label the models already in the market concerning non-conformity cases related to performance and suppliers must withdraw from the market the models detected as unsafe to users.

The Conformity Evaluation is essential to improve PBE programs and it is a critical tool to check the results provided by the Energy Efficiency Law. Thus, Inmetro will submit an inspection plan to the MME, under the agreement signed between both parties, in March 2010.

aPPEndix - METhodologiEs to evaluate Procel eletroBras seal results

There are several options of methodologies available in literature to assess the impacts of energy efficiency programs, energy savings in equipment, and peak demand reduction. Thus, it is important to identify which methodology shows more consistent results, with less uncertainty and lower development and implementation costs. A comprehensive and detailed revision of these methodologies can be found in the Evaluation guidebook (vol.1), published by IEA/DSM (Program for Evaluation of Measures for Energy Efficiency and Demand Management), developed by the International Energy Agency - IEA showing case studies in Belgium, Canada, South Korea, Denmark, France, Holland, Italy, and Sweden. As a rule, this guidebook recommends the comparison of load curves before and after the adoption of energy efficiency actions, thus, comparing the baselines with the new load curves13. The convenience of using the baseline is also explained by the Collaborative Labeling and Appliance Standards Program - Clasp, which since 1999 includes the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory - LBNL, the Ngo “Alliance to Save Energy”, and the International Institute for Energy Conservation - IIEC, and has the mission to promote the proper use of energy efficiency standards, particularly in developing countries14.

The results of evaluations on the impact of energy efficiency programs are briefly defined primarily by two components:

•The adopted conceptual model that must properly demonstrate the relationships between technical variables and the market;•Data associated to this model.

In general, the thorough evaluation of energy efficiency programs demands field research, market studies, and analysis of costs effectiveness. Such activities demand significant resources to be properly implemented. In the united States, for example, there is a cost between 5 to 10% of energy efficiency projects costs15.

Eletrobras Procel invested in a partnership with unifei as a result from the strategy of improving the evaluation methodologies used for establishing the energy benefits provided by Procel Eletrobras Seal, especially concerning the evaluation criteria throughout the equipment life, the efficiency degradation over time, and the baseline identification for establishing energy savings. Thus, between 2006 and 2010, the impact of Procel Eletrobras Seal granted to refrigerators and freezers, three-phase electric motors, air conditioners, compact fluorescent lamps, solar water heating systems, and ceiling fans was evaluated. unifei was selected to run the project, as it is a reference in evaluating the results of energy efficiency activities, in addition to host Excen, conducting several studies of measurement and verification, many of them with Eletrobras Procel itself.

Considering the procedures adopted in other countries, especially in Canada, to monitor and evaluate energy conservation measures, this annual report uses an evaluation model of Procel Eletrobras Seal, considering the increases in energy savings, defined from a baseline. This baseline can be defined in several ways (Chart 11), for example, taking into account that the equipment does not change its efficiency or such efficiency progresses naturally, without the presence of the Seal. Thus, the total energy savings (EE

total), for a given period

and equipment will be:

EEtotal

= CEbaseline

- CEafter adopting technology

once:

15geller, H., Report on Energy Savings Evaluation, Procel/Eletrobras, 2005.


CEbaseline

is the energy consumption according to baseline (BL);

CEafter adopting technology

is the energy consumption after adopting energy efficiency measures.

This savings amount includes the free rider effect, when there are efficiency gains not directly attributable to Eletrobras Procel, as well as the positive effect due to energy savings induced by the Program. So the net energy savings can be estimated (EE

net)

as:

EEnet

= EEtotal

+ EEindirect

- EEfree rider

once:

EEindirect

are savings not directly associated to Procel Eletrobras Seal; EE

free rider are savings related to the equipment in the period

concerning the baseline.

Concerning Procel Eletrobras Seal applied to equipment, in the case of free rider effect, there is the technological progress

applied to all products, while for the indirect energy savings, the purchase of efficient equipment made regardless of awareness by consumers of the existence of Procel Eletrobras Seal.

This approach also includes impacts from degradation effects of equipment efficiency throughout lifetime, of average environment temperature of operation, and of evolution of the installed equipment, which results from variations associated to sales and scraping. This methodology takes as baseline the consumption of equipment, in the absence of Procel Eletrobras Seal, also taking into account the degradation effects of energy efficiency.

Moreover, Eletrobras Procel also takes into account criteria established by the International Performance Measurement and verification Protocol – IPMvP, specifically in the following items:•Evaluation of energy impact throughout equipment lifetime;•Identification of baseline to determine energy gains;•verification of model consistency.

Chart 12 shows total and net energy savings values, based on energy performance of equipment and assumptions of installed equipment in electric energy consumer market, which in turn depends on the initial stock, on sales, and on scrapping.

Concerning assumptions on composition of equipment, the first refers to a fictitious market composed of baseline products only, in case the equipment installed in the country was composed only of products without Procel Eletrobras Seal. The second one concerns the actual situation of the composition of the installed equipment, that is, part of the equipment holding Procel Eletrobras Seal and the other part without it. Finally, the third assumption concerns a fictitious market potential for Procel Eletrobras Seal, where all equipment installed in the country are efficient.
