Optimización del Rendimiento de Sistemas Fotovoltaicos mediante un Plan de Mantenimiento Estratégico: Un Estudio en la UTPL

Abstract

Abstract: The main objective of this work is to improve the performance and efficiency of the photovoltaic systems of the solar plant of the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja (UTPL). To do this, the collection and analysis of data on environmental and electrical variables, such as temperature, solar irradiation and wind speed, is proposed, in order to understand their impact on energy production. In addition, the effect of cleaning the solar panels on the performance of the plant will be evaluated, comparing periods with and without maintenance to quantify the gain in energy efficiency. Finally, a maintenance plan for the solar plant of the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja will be designed and proposed, which includes the optimal frequency of panel cleaning. This plan will be evaluated both technically and economically, demonstrating its benefits in terms of increased energy production and reduced costs associated with system failures or deterioration. The results obtained aim to optimize the performance of the solar plant and guarantee its efficient and sustainable operation in the long term.
