The phenomenon was repeated, the World Cup in 2010 drew attention for his peculiarities. Much has been made of the ball, the vuvuzela and surprises in many games. Been almost 1 month and many lost during the cup. Now I am not referring to players who already earn much money, but would draw attention to the phenomenon that clearly happens in Brazil. The population stops for the crown, literally. And because of national euphoria during the games in Brazil, industries have to release employees because if it does not happen many would ask for dismissal to see Brazil play.
The ONS (National System Operator), which is the company responsible for ensuring that not lack energy has to change its strategy of dispatching the power plants, thermal and nuclear, because demand for energy in the moments before and during the game suffers a fall very fast, which leads the system operators to take great care to protect any act incorrectly and disconnect the power. All graphs presented in this matter were taken from the reports of the ONS, available at: www.ons.org.br.
In Figure 1 you can see the sharp fall in demand minutes before game Brazil and North Korea, which happened on a Tuesday, which theoretically was a normal working day.
Figure 1 - energy demand on the game Brazil vs. North Korea
Already in Figure 2 represents the energy demand on game day Brazil and Ivory Coast, shows no such load variation, part is because of the game have happened on Sunday, which is not a day for many companies .
Figure 2 - energy demand on the game Brazil vs. Ivory Coast
Figure 3 shows that the demand on game day Brazil and Portugal shows that a large load change occurred. And as the play happened on a Friday you can see that the demand after the game was well below the demand of a typical Friday. We can interpret the working hours of the week that ended before the game starts.

An interesting detail is what happens during halftime of games, when a peak demand in the interval between the first and second time. There are several theories to explain this peak. Some say that people are opening the refrigerator, now connecting the microwave, or out of watching television and using equipment that expend energy.
Figure 4 shows that the demand on game day of the eighth-final between Brazil and Chile, which took place in a Monday, it was observed that the demand came after the game enough demand typical of the day.

As a final analysis is shown in Figure 5 the graph of energy consumption during the quarter-final game between the Netherlands and Brazil. It is possible to observe all the phenomena described above. Unfortunately the most interesting chart, which would be the final, was not needed. But even without the final, we can observe that the power utilities as well as the Brazil team also lost the crown.

It's one thing I always wondered but never had to where to take the data.

Congratulations on your publication!

Interesting how the demand for electricity can explain satisfaction with the behavior of the population. Relate it to the World Cup games have been very nice, congratulations, Professor Heverton. Now, to explain those demand peaks in the interval, only even beer, to be always cold, no?
poor utilities, bill and left without further enrich the bosses.
very cool! Although I had heard had not seen the "standards" demand curves at the times of games. Gave to understand that the demand is coming from their typical values after the end of each game. Does it also happen on a day that Brazil will win a final?
Interesting subject, unfortunately in Brazil football (alien) is considered more important than work, study ... really important things.
very cool, I had already talked about it, but not much credence ...
Very nice Professor matter. I draw attention to the figure 1, in which the graphs show that consumption of the country falls to the same values of consumption at 05:30 am. The country really stops.
Very cool Heverton matter, the standard curves are mainly in the range of the game is quite interesting, a pity that Brazil was not for the final, will the curve after the game followed the same pattern?
Very good story Héverton, Congratulations! Interesting human behavior and the damage of the concessionaires. Is my question to you and other fellow students of the SEP. How is the voltage stability at such drop in demand?
I honestly do not understand the purpose of this article. First of dealerships have not lost, but failed to win, and how much they already earn, will not be a World Cup held every four years that will make them have "loss."
At the beginning of your article, do not know if you wanted to say that this phenomenon in the country "stop" during the World Cup games only occurs in Brazil, but that is not already ahead. This is also in the countries of South America and in European countries such as England and Germany.
Plus, most major industries do not stop during the games. A large portion of the decrease in consumption is certainly due to the closure of shops and other businesses, because the industry hardly stop its production. At least in my region, industries such as Usiminas, and Cenibra ArcelorMittal workers never released to attend World Cup matches, the officials release only the administrative part. That is, the machines are still operating. And there was never a case worker resigning because he could not watch the games. Supplement to say that officials would ask for dismissal if their bosses do not the liberals is to ignore the deep current situation of the country.
Dear readers and friends,
I thank all the comments so far, Henry and I raised some interesting your comment. Surely there are some challenges in my article.
But when I mean the industry does not speak only of heavy industry, as some examples of steel. There are numerous types of industry: the bank, the fabrics and footwear trade.
And stop talking about winning and losing economically have the same sense as the energy industry, like any other works with the concept of opportunity cost.
And Professor Douglas raised an interesting question, we are often worried that the increasing load on the system too and off it. But this phenomenon is the reverse is an exit load that has to be well thought out by operators.
Feel free to criticize and debate.
Regards to all.
"And stop talking about winning and losing economically have the same sense as the energy industry, like any other works with the concept of opportunity cost."
The Opportunity Cost represents the cost associated with a particular choice of the best measured in lost opportunity. In this case there was no lost opportunity. She did not sell energy why she simply did not have to sell to. He had no demand.
She simply failed to win. The term loss then is applied incorrectly.
Interesting article, Heverton!
The idea was Freakonomics style.
But what intrigued me was the balance of the system. This charge has to go somewhere. should be interesting to know how the ONS rebalance the system this fall with "unexpected" in the system.
And that consumption curve can be used for other stuff, such as whether people are following the political schedule, for example. If a good percentage of the population off the TV this time, should give a difference in the curves of years without political schedule, eh? Much more subtle than the disengagement of industries, for sure, but maybe tb is perceptible ...
Heverton!
Very good your material, work at the Center for Power System Operation in CPFL and watched the Brazil game against Ivory Coast in COS and was able to monitor this phenomenon online. Through the graphics shown in their material is what really happens.
Congratulations.
Very interesting article. I already gave you imagine this low power consumption in small, medium and even, yes, large companies and industries, why not. But you had the balcony to take the actual data, the National Operator. Well done.
As for the intake tract, may perhaps be explained: open refrigerators, baths fast, chopeiras working more, other devices, such as ambient sounds in the bars passing games and why not, the bathroom light, which was cleared during the game.
Yes there was the opportunity cost for the lack of production, but the canopy is to increase consumption in the short term, after the sale of TVs and sound systems just because of the canopy and with this increased consumption from these devices sold.
I liked the article, Heverton. Want to see more here!
A hug and even Pampulha!
Congratulations on the matter. Very interesting! I really enjoyed!

Injury or not? I believe the crown is debate in many areas. What is the planning of a company from fast food to the pantry? It invested in marketing, training to produce and sell a new product and these products linked to an event. The departure of Brazil's World Cup almost detached interest of a significant portion of the population with the event. By which stage Brazil should reach for that company to rescue the capital invested. Several other segments such as apparel, automotive, information technology (televisions), etc. were also cheering for Brazil. The best for any industry is to have a fixed infrastructure, and also demand a fix. Because the utilities benefit contracts demand, fares horosazonais? Imagine if the infrastructure of the energy sector did not support the peak on-schedule the game in Brazil, even the President would take that comment.
I found it very relevant to the post, congratulations on approach.
Very interesting, had also heard about it but very lightly.
