Diseño de prototipos de sistemas fotovoltaicos autonomos para uso en aplicaciones de acuicultura : diseño de un prototipo de sistema de generación fotovoltaico autonomo para operación de un aireador tipo inyeccion por helice.

Abstract

In this document, we explore the possibility of using a standalone photovoltaic system instead of relying on the grid or a diesel generator to power a propeller-type aerator used in aquaculture for oxygenation. This activity holds significant economic importance in the country. To achieve this, we start by conducting thorough bibliographic research on aeration processes in aquaculture and the guidelines for designing standalone photovoltaic systems. Next, we proceed to design the photovoltaic system, carefully sizing the necessary equipment to meet the energy demand of the load. Finally, with the system parameters defined, we conduct a comprehensive financial analysis to assess the economic feasibility of investing in the photovoltaic project. We use the levelized cost of energy of the designed system, the price of grid electricity, and the cost of generating energy using diesel as references to determine its viability.
