Abstract(s)
As alterações climáticas são uma realidade atual, que obrigam as pessoas e as organizações a procurarem soluções para minimizar os seus impactos e encontrar soluções sustentáveis. Os smart energy systems apresentam-se como uma dessas possibilidades e caracterizam-se por ser um conceito inovador e adequado às organizações nos dias de hoje, pela sua capacidade autossuficiente e por utilizar apenas fontes de energia renováveis.
Enquadrado num contexto atual em que as organizações (públicas e privadas) devem adotar políticas e práticas sustentáveis, este trabalho de investigação propõe abordar o conceito anteriormente referido e tentar aplicá-lo na Guarda Nacional Republicana, numa ótica de autossuficiência e sustentabilidade, tendo em conta cenários de emergência energética cada vez mais recorrentes.
Para a concretização deste objetivo, foi adotada uma estratégia mista, procurando-se estudar o conceito através de uma revisão sistemática da literatura. Por via da análise documental, de entrevistas e observador participante, foram estudadas organizações de referência de Atenas, Grécia, e a Base Aérea n.º 5, em Monte Real, para, depois, propor a implementação das suas melhores práticas dos smart energy systems na Guarda.
Os resultados obtidos aferiram que, na Guarda Nacional Republicana, os sistemas anteriores, perante uma emergência energética, por um lado, não são sustentáveis economicamente devido aos custos que implicam a sua aquisição. Todavia, por outro lado, são sustentáveis ecologicamente no sentido em que irá providenciar resiliência energética e segurança à instituição.
Durante o estudo deste sistema, constatou-se ainda que o planeamento e ação uniforme da instituição é insuficiente, revelando vulnerabilidades que não podem existir numa situação em que o cidadão conta com o melhor desempenho desta força de segurança. Assim, esta investigação explorou outras soluções para a atuação da instituição, sendo que a aplicação do processo de smart energy no normal quotidiano e a criação de planos integrados de atuação e a aquisição de sistemas alternativos de produção de energia em cenários de emergência energética, poderá incrementar a operacionalidade e capacidade de resposta da força de segurança.
Climate changes are a milestone today, forcing people and organizations to seek solutions to minimize their impacts and to find sustainable solutions. Smart energy systems are one of these possibilities and are characterized by being an innovative concept suitable for organizations today, due to their self-sufficient capacity and for using only renewable energy sources. Framed in a current context in which organizations (public and private) must adopt policies and practices, this research work proposes to address the concept and try to apply it in the National Republican Guard, from a perspective of self-sufficiency and sustainability, considering that energy emergency scenarios are increasingly recurrent. To achieve this objective, a mixed strategy was adopted, seeking to study the concept through a systematic review of the literature. Through documental analysis, interviews and participant observation, reference organizations in Athens, Greece, and Air Base n.º. 5, in Monte Real, were studied to implement their best practices in the security force. The results obtained showed that in the National Republican Guard, smart energy systems, in the face of an energy emergency, on the one hand, are not economically sustainable due to the costs they entail, on the other hand, they are ecologically sustainable in the sense that they will provide energy resilience and security. During the study of this system in an energy emergency scenario, it was found that the institution's uniform planning and action are insufficient, and it reveals vulnerabilities that cannot exist in a situation in which the citizen is counting on the best performance of these force. Thus, this investigation explores other solutions for the institution's conduct, considering that the application of the smart energy process in normal daily life and the creation of integrated action plans and the acquisition of alternative energy production systems in energy emergency scenarios, may increase the operability and responsiveness of the security force.
