Factibilidad de la integración de sistemas de respaldo basados en energías renovables en un sector educativo en Loja-Ecuador

Abstract

Abstract: Currently, there are photovoltaic systems implemented at the Universidad Particular de Loja, but these systems are not in operation, so they depend on an external generator when there is a power outage, as happens in the Scientific and Technological Park of the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja (building 9). This project analyzes the technical and economic viability of the operation of this photovoltaic system for emergencies and to stop depending on conventional generators in the event of a power outage or failure on the part of the national electrical grid. In order to begin the analysis, it is necessary to know how the system works, since it is a hybrid system, and also the duration time obtained from the backup system, since this way it can be estimated whether the current system is sufficient to cover the requirements of the building, or if it is necessary to implement more batteries. It is also important to know the monthly production of the photovoltaic system for which the PVSyst software was used, for which a criterion of three analyses with different production powers is used to observe which is optimal for the financial and environmental aspects, for which the NPV and IRR variables are used.
