Análisis Técnico y Económico del uso de Luminarias de Inducción Electromagnética de Baja Frecuencia

Abstract

This study includes an assessment of the current state of the national public lighting system in Ecuador, the energy consumption of the current system and the impact of improving its technology, by replacing traditional metal halide lamps and sodium vapour lamps by electromagnetic induction lamps. The main development of this undergraduate thesis will focus on a technical – economical analysis of the project, return of investments via energy and maintenance savings (on the medium and long term), improvement on system reliability, and the environmental and social impact due to an improved technology in the public lighting system.
