Abstract
The Brazilian electricity sector currently needs a technological and sustainable reform to boost the country development. At the same time, restructuring has been taking place around the world through the insertion of alternative energy sources, new tariffs systems, the adaptation of new technologies and habits changes that have an impact on energy consumption. The consumer attitude towards the electric power consumption is a fundamental factor against the economic, social and environmental perspectives, praising the importance of having a population engaged and aware about their consumption acts impacts. Starting from the point that access to information and knowledge is the way to achieve significant changes, this study presents the development of a system for load characterization in white, conventional or horo-seasonal tariff modalities - according to consumer classification - in order to obtain comparison parameters that aid in the decision making as to the adhesion to the most appropriate tariff modality. The research techniques used were the bibliography and case study based on energy loads from a supermarket in the city of Vitoria, ES. In this way, after receiving the input parameters, load configuration and consumption schedules, the system generates the values associated to the tariffs rates and tariff calculations. Furthermore, the system presents the monthly load curve and the electric consumption profile of an installation from the survey of equipment possessions and use habits. The system developed based on the loads in a supermarket and proved successful in processing the demand curves. Keywords: Demand Curve. Tariff Modalities. Consumption Management
