Análisis técnico y económico de la migración a un sistema de iluminación LED alimentado por paneles fotovoltaicos en los salones de clase de la Facultad Técnica

Abstract

Ecuador has a privileged geographical location, this gives high levels of solar radiation throughout the year and this is an opportunity that can’t be missed, that’s why we should continue working in projects that invest in solar energy. This is why this degree work intents to corroborate the rentability we can obtain when we incorporate a renewable energy generation system to produce the demand the illumination system needs for the classrooms from the Techniques Development Faculty at the Santiago de Guayaquil Catholic University. This project starts by clarifying the most important concepts that are relevant in order to work with the technologies involved. Later a current load survey is carried out and LED luminaires are proposed to replace current ones to reduce current demand and provide adequate lighting levels. From this the photovoltaic solar system is dimensioned and equipment is specified to be used, such as solar panels, battery, inverter, etc., to carry out the economic study and determine the amortization time of the investment.
