Construcción de una maqueta de calefacción con energía solar fotovoltaica.

Abstract

The following thesis work presents a heating system using solar panels. It consists of five sections each of which provide an overview of the construction methods including its dimension and implementation. Section one lists the different components and measuring instruments used in the implementation of the photovoltaic system. This section is also linked to stage 1 of this project which considers a heater and a humidifier; thus, it is important to calculate power values in advance. In section two, the photovoltaic system is dimensioned with the necessary requirements, as well as technical criteria for the implementation of an isolated photovoltaic system considering the current regulations in Ecuadorian territory, such as the NEC Standard for Electrical Installations (NEC-SB-IE) and the NEC Standard for Renewable Energies (NEC-14-2). In section three and based on the NEC-14-2, the protections of the photovoltaic system are dimensioned to provide security to the users who supply preventive and corrective maintenance, resulting in an extension of the life span of the photovoltaic system. In section four, the isolated photovoltaic system was implemented in a previously built metallic structure and, and the electrical and electronic connection was made following the connection diagram guided in the annexes section. To conclude, in the last section, a sizing manual was produced on a real scale, for both the heating system and the photovoltaic system, so that it can be implemented in the future considering the recommendations.
