This doctoral thesis aims developing a methodology and implementing it on software in order to evaluate a water supply system (WSS) hydro-energetic performance, as well as applying it on a real scale WSS. This paper was carried out in two stages: 1) modeling the hydro-energetic performance evaluation process, establishing of formulations to calculate hydro-energetic losses and implementing methodology on software; 2) applying the methodology at a real scale WSS, which required monitoring of hydraulic and electrical quantities and simulating this WSS at Epanet 2.0. The first stage results consisted at defined hydro-energetic losses and conceptualize hydro-energetic performance on the proposed methodology, which consists sequences of actions and mathematical formulation to calculate hydro-energetic losses at the WSS, as well as to evaluate WSS hydro-energetic performance and, finally, at methodology implementation in a software using Visual Basic for Applications (named as SADHE2A) and successfully tested at the WSS with synthetic data. The second stage results are related to methodology application at WSS of Guanabara (located at Ananindeua city, Pará, Brazil), using SADHE2A – versão Beta, in which were identified water global losses of 55.42% and electrical energy global losses of 8.31% (both classified as “bad” by the methodology), resulting in an economical deficit of 17,981.77 R$/month. This value is equivalent to 57.61% of electrical energy costs, since raw water pumping to the final water costumer. Finally, the methodology developed has met the research expectations to calculate the water losses and electricity consumed losses and to evaluate the hydro-energetic performance of the WSS in Brazil and world.
