RESUMO

The natural gas difficult to penetrate in the residential market and compete with electrical energy is the main objective of this study, which will support that in big cities, where natural gas is already reality or will be the use of natural gas should not be considered competition for other types of energy resources but as a strategically complement of the overall power system. Electricity used as thermal source creates only demand for concessionaries and not consumption, in other words, there is short period of time when demand peaks and the amount of energy consumed by the electric shower is so high that requires a huge infra-structure of generation, transmission and distribution. However, it creates a big idle capacity in periods off-peak. Nevertheless, in the urban areas with high population density, the existence of pipelines turns feasible the replacement of electricity to natural gas in water heating. For natural gas distributors, the use natural gas in water heating is critical factor to make the pipeline network economically feasible and to consolidate the residential market. The use of natural gas only to cooking purposes makes the network very costly and with high idle capacity. This study will discuss how an integrated planning of resources within a broader perspective which considers not only the investments required but also the risks associated can lead to a better use of energy resources and distribution network of natural gas and electricity. With it, the whole society will gain. For this study, the city of Santos will be analyzed. Conclude that an integrated view of energy system in Santos will reduce the use of electricity as thermal source, freeing up capacity without incurring significant investments. Therefore, the natural gas will be wisely incorporated in the energy matrix assuring the development of new industry which will impact positively all onshore region near Santos, and will conciliate interests from offshore producers and local consumers of the region.
