Energía solar fotovoltaica conectada a red y su impacto de implementación en las familias, la industria y la economía ecuatoriana.

Abstract

This thesis presents an overview of a photovoltaic solar energy system connected to the grid and analyzes a case study of a solar photovoltaic system implemented at a Public Institute in Quito. A calculation was made with the hours of solar production per monthly averages, which are the result of the data collected from the case study. With this information we determined the impact that this type of technology would cause in case of its massification at the level of the economy of Ecuador and economic feasibility of a solar photovoltaic system connected to the grid in a residential and industrial area. In addition, results of efficiency of the different conventional electric production systems that Ecuador has are presented and a comparison is made with the case study presented in this thesis, all this using real production and demand data supplied by the ARCONEL. This information is valuable for the feasibility analysis of a future implementation of photovoltaic solar energy connected to the grid throughout the country.
