Análisis técnico económico para la implementación de un sistema de medición inteligente en las empresas eléctricas de distribución del Ecuador.

Abstract

The incessant technological growth together with the evolution in electrical and communication systems have consolidated the backbone of the research that supports the concept of smart electrical networks. In this way, an intelligent electrical network requires the bidirectional exchange of energy and information where the distribution companies of the electrical service and its different users interact directly. In this sense, it is important to propose Smart Metering systems that use a communications architecture that promotes the implementation of Smart Electrical Grids. In the present investigation, a technical and economic feasibility analysis is described for the development of an intelligent metering system in the electric distribution companies of Ecuador. In this way, an integral solution is proposed that will allow remote actions such as automatic reading of meters, connections and reconnections, thus minimizing non-technical electrical losses.
