Diseño de una central fotovoltaica para abastecimiento de energía eléctrica del Campus de la Escuela Politécnica Nacional

Abstract

In this project, an initial analysis is carried out, prior to the design of small photovoltaic plants on J. Rubén Orellana Campus of National Polytechnic School. With the results obtained, the conceptual design of a photovoltaic power plant of the solar parking type is made from the available area, determining that the installation of four solar parking lots of 115, 65, 55, and 80 kW is feasible, in National Polytechnic School's electrical distribution grid, specifically in feeders 12A and 32E. In addition, the detailed design of the 115 kW solar parking lots located in front of the Faculty of Electrical and Electronic Engineering is carried out, obtaining the specifications of the equipment to be installed, the structural plans, and its single-line diagram. Additionally, the impact analysis of the connection of the four small photovoltaic plants on the Campus distribution network is carried out, not presenting major problems for its operation under normal conditions, both for maximum demand and for minimum demand in sunny hours. Finally, the economic financial evaluation of the project is carried out; further, it is pointed out that this renewable energy project allows displacing the CO2 emission contributing with the care of the environment.
