The Brazilian electric energy consumption was about 377 TWh in 2007. The industrial<br />
sector consumption represents 45,88 % of this. Despite the weight of the intensive<br />
power industries in such overall consumption, the motor-driven systems are the<br />
greatest power waste villains in the other industrial segments, topping the 80% figure in<br />
the textile, paper and pulp industries.<br />
According to the last data from Energy and Mines Ministry, motor-driven systems<br />
consumes about 49% of the electric power consumed in the industrial sector, as shown<br />
in Figure 1.<br />
Distribution of <strong>Electric</strong> Power Consumption in the Industrial Sector by End User<br />
The National Energy Conservation Program – PROCEL was created in 1985 and since<br />
than it has carried out a lot of work to promote the technology .improvement and<br />
energy efficiency projects. In terms of industrial equipment improvement, the electric<br />
induction motor labeling process started in 1992 and the final market transformation for<br />
energy efficient motors will be get in December of 2009. To reduce the electric energy<br />
losses in the industrial sector in a more continuous and consistent manner, the<br />
specialists realized a need for structured Program for minimize losses in the motor<br />
driven-systems. Since 2003, PROCEL develops energy efficiency implementation
