Abstract
Microgrid systems represent an efficient solution for electricity generation where distributed energy applications are used. This work focuses on the data acquirement for the assessment of a microgrid system in the university hospital at Federal University of Santa Catarina. Description of the procedure used for data gathering and processing in order to infer the thermal and electrical demands of the hospital is presented, and the obtained results are contrasted with previous cases found in technical references. Energy balances on current supply equipment is carried out based on hourly measurements in order to obtain detailed profiles of steam and hot water for a winter, autumn and summer day, while electrical hourly demand profiles data were obtained from records of the electricity concessionary. Evidently, besides of properly taken measurements, it is necessary to identify correctly the operation schedules and different hospital activities in order to obtain a reasonable microgrid system specification. Finally, the information condensed in this work will serve as a source of technical information for further energy efficiency and microgrid studies focused on this type of applications.
