Return on investment in industrial systems

Content

## Retorno não é apenas economia de energia

Industrial projects can also create value through greater availability, quality stability, maintenance reduction and additional production capacity.

These effects need to be separated, documented and treated with conservative assumptions to avoid double counting.

## Compare cenários em uma mesma base

Investment, operating costs, downtime, useful life and residual value must use the same horizon. Production scenarios and energy prices help to see the sensitivity of return.

For modernizations, it is important to compare the project also with the cost of maintaining the current system, including obsolescence and increasing risk of failure.
