Diseño de sistemas fotovoltaicos autónomos para viviendas en zonas aisladas de la red eléctrica : diseño de un sistema de generación fotovoltaico residencial autónomo para consumo nivel 1.

Abstract

This work presents the design of an autonomous residential photovoltaic generation system for level 1 consumption, which will supply energy to a house located in San Juan de IlumánIbarra, Ecuador. Photovoltaic systems convert solar radiation into electricity using solar panels. These systems include, in addition to the photovoltaic panel, batteries for storage, charge regulators, voltage inverters, wiring and protection elements. In Chapter 1, in addition to describing all these elements, an analysis of the solar radiation with all its components is made. Chapter 2 contains the sizing of each element used in the solar PV installation, based on the estimated energy demand, daily consumption and estimated monthly consumption in [kWh]. The cost of the photovoltaic installation is calculated for the described conditions. Chapter 3 shows the results of the simulation performed using PV sol software and the analysis of the system's operating efficiency. Given the high constant solar radiation in Ecuador, photovoltaic systems are an effective and sustainable solution for the inhabitants of these communities. These systems not only improve the quality of life by providing access to electricity and many other benefits derived from it, but also promote the use of clean and renewable energy in favor and care of the environment.
