ADVANTAGES AND
DISADVANTAGES:

It is important to bear in mind both the

advantages and limitations of the balance

It lets calculate certain relationships of efficiency

and make a diagnosis of the energy situation of
a country, region or continent since. However, it
is through their relationship with other socio-
economic variables that the balance becomes a
planning tool.

In this sense, the existence of the energy balance is a necessary

condition for energy planning

OVERVIEW:
The energy balance in terms of final energy
(BEEF) of OLADE is presented in matrix form,
and is composed of columns, which represent
energy sources (primary and secondary),
secondary) and by
the rows that represent the activities, namely the
origins and destinations or consumption of

ENERGY ..--

The term primary energy to the various

sources of energy as obtained in the wild,
either in direct form as in the case of
hydropower and solar, wood and other fuels
plant, or after a process of extracting the
oil, coal, geoenergy, and so on.
 SECONDARY
ENERGY ..--

It s called secondary energy to the various

centers for processing and whose fate are

TOTAL
SUPPLY.-- :
SUPPLY.
It is the total net availability of energy to meet
the energy needs of a country's economy. The
total supply of energy is then, the amount of
energy primary and secondary available to meet
the energy needs of a country, both in the
processes of transformation, and in the end.

The "total supply" is calculated by the equation:

Total bid = Production (+) Import (-) Export (+ -) Change in

inventories (-) Not exploited

OWN
CONSUMPTION :

This is one of four possible routes for

the total supply. The consumption of
energy is the part of primary and
secondary energy that the industry
uses to function.
LOSSES:

Are those that occur during the activities

undertaken since the energy is produced up to
the final consumer. Among other things, include
th loss
the l off extraction,
t ti storage,
t t
transportation,
t ti
transmission, distribution, etc..

Loss is different from untapped because while

the latter could be exploited fully if conditions
were given, the first can only be reduced through
conservation.
STATISTICAL
ADJUSTMENT:

This line serves mainly in some cases to replenish the differences

produced byy the conversion of different sources,, from their original
p g
units of measure until the units are compatible for the development of
the balances.

The adjustment should be no higher than 5% of

the total offered.

ADOPTED
UNIT:

Power supplies and products used for their generation are

measured by their mass or weight, its volume, its contents heat,
its energy and its ability to perform work. The original units in
which they are measured normally fuels and electricity are
extremely disparate (tons, barrels, cubic meters, calories,
kilowatt hours, etc.)..
ADOPTED
UNIT:
Aiming to close the global balance of
power and enable the analysis of
comparative data and consideration of
the energy structures of a country,
subregion or region, triggering the
homogenization of the physical units of
measurement of the energy using a
different unit Thermal or caloric common.

Ecuador has adopted Equivalent Oil Tonnes (EOT) as a common unit

for expressing energy balances.

Current
Status:

Together

Parameterisation of the System, which refers to the
definition of the different variables, units of measure,
time periods, other factors and parameters which
serve to store the data neatly within the system and
allow for their proper management.

The system configuration
