Trends in industrial electricity consumption : two cases

Abstract

This essay focuses on the analysis of data on industrial electricity consumption, including the trends in electricity consumption and the impact on the environment ( the common topics like climate change, gas emissions and so on). As well as providing some useful suggestions about the future development of electrical industry in Brazil and Korea, after all, the issues related to environment, especially the ecological problems have aroused heated discussion all over the world. The utility of renewable energy is definately a wisable option.

In general, I focus on two actual cases: “heavy-machinery data from the Brazilian industrial sector” and “Steel Industry Energy Consumption in Korea”. For the former one, I analyzed the evolution of the power consumption of several large machines in food factory of Brazil, then according to the status of this country, I reckon the application of solar energy is potential; and as for the latter, I analyzed the trends in the power consumption of the steel industry and the forecasts for the future. Unlike Brazil, The use of renewable energy in Korea is not as expansive as that in Brazil. But the construction of wind power stations is a suitable choice.
