Desarrollo de una guía para diseño e implementación de sistemas de puesta a tierra y protecciones eléctricas en centrales fotovoltaicas menores a 2,0 MW : desarrollo de una guía para diseño e implementación de sistemas de puesta a tierra en centrales fotovoltaicas menores a 2,0 MW.

Abstract

The goal of this study is to create a useful manual for designing and installing grounding systems in solar power plants with a capacity under 2,0 MW, based on exhaustive research of norms and standards at a local and international level. Its structuring covers several stages from theoretical foundation to practical application, considering technical and regulatory aspects. A design guide is proposed detailing the key components of a grounding system, including electrodes, conductors and connections. In addition, criteria are provided for the selection of materials and configurations, taking into account the specific characteristics of smallscale photovoltaic plants. For its validation, the proposed guide was applied in the development of a photovoltaic project for self-supply in the province of Pichincha.
