Estudio técnico para la realización del diseño eléctrico de las instalaciones de nuevo Observatorio Astronómico Nacional de la Escuela Politécnica Nacional.

Abstract

In this project, the electrical design development of the new National Astronomical Observatory of the National Polytechnical School was made by a technical study about electrical requirements of each one systems, which load behavior is unknown. The general electrical design starts with the design of interior and exterior lighting in accordance with to the lighting needs for each area of the complex, with the help of the DIALux Evo 6.2 software. Through international electrical standards and based on architectural planes, the powers outlet system for general use and the distribution boards location for the realization of the electrical drawings, were designed. Likewise, with support of professionals from the National Astronomical Observatory of Quito, complete information about the operating modes of the special electrical systems that are part of the complex (radio telescopes system, telescopes and nocturnal observations system) was gathered, in order to know the behavior of the load, and to be able to determine suitable correction factors that allow an optimal sizing of the demand. A careful design of the emergency systems has been carried out, since they’ve been considered uninterruptible power supply loads (sensitive loads), loads with continuous supply (non-sensitive loads) and exclusive operation loads with the emerging system. Additionally, the special electrical systems along with the emergent system were coupled to the general electrical system in order to complete the necessary information for making the complete electrical design and culminate the pertinent electrical planes.
