Diseño eléctrico para las nuevas instalaciones de la compañia “PROCONTEX CIA. Ltda.” y proyecto de autoabastecimiento mediante planta de generación fotovoltaica.

Abstract

The goal of this project is the design of an efficient and safe electrical system for the new facilities of the company "PROCONTEX", it includes a self-sufficiency plan through photovoltaic energy. The Ecuadorian electrical regulations directed by ARCERNNR mention that the use of electrical designs prior to the construction of the facilities is essential; However, in the past infrastructures were implemented informally; that is, without approved studies including electrical ones, as is the case with PROCONTEX. Initially, in the analysis stage, the information on the existing electrical installations was collected, for which PROCONTEX, in the absence of the technical sheets and with the due authorization, facilitated carrying out the load measurements, lifting of plate data, work times, electricity consumption bills and technical discussions with maintenance personnel and operators. Where it was possible to obtain all the electrical information of the existing machinery and the type of consumption for the realization of this study. Once the data on the operation of the production line, the main characteristics of the machinery, operational problems and electrical problems have been obtained, a reliable, safe and efficient electrical design is carried out with its respective cost analysis; all this, within the current electrical standards of Ecuador. Finally, analyzing the results of the design, an alternative solution of a self-supply source using photovoltaic energy is presented, which will allow reducing the operating costs of the factory, increasing the competitiveness of the company in the sector.
