Diseño y simulación de un sistema modular de montaje fotovoltaico: diseño estructural.

Abstract

In Ecuador, the production of pitahaya is recognized in the national and international market for its excellent flavor, appearance, quality, and nutritional properties. The highest production of the fruit occurs in the Province of Morona Santiago, Canton Palora, which, due to its demand in times of scarcity, it is necessary to use an alternative system for the improvement of production and friendly to the environment through an energy system of photovoltaic panels that allows the growth and ripening of the fruit naturally. This project proposes the design of a modular photovoltaic assembly structure for the installation of solar panels in the study area. The photovoltaic systems through an adequate configuration satisfy the energy requirement for the crops. For the design of the modular structure that allows the assembly of the solar panels, consideration of the Client's requirements - Voice of the User and the voice of the Engineer - Technical Specifications to establish defined characteristics of the system, with presentation of proposals for the different design alternatives proposed to the qualification and selection of the best alternative. Once the characteristics of the final design have been defined, the geometric sizing and structural analysis continues through consideration of loads that will be applied to the structure under extreme working conditions, seismic loads, study, and design of foundations, with analysis of geotechnical data from the site. study, through design and simulation software, presenting at the end plans of the system and analysis of total costs of the structure.
