Análisis de repotenciación de redes de distribución en baja tensión, para el cambio de líneas abiertas a redes preensambladas en la prevención del hurto energético del barrio Virgen del Carmen de la provincia de Santa Elena-Ecuador.

Abstract

In the Virgin of Carmen neighborhood, this investigative work is developed, with the purpose of describing the process of repowering low voltage networks, applying the standards established in its execution, the pre-assembled networks will be used in this neighborhood sector with the purpose of To reduce energy theft in the sector, in the research process the parts of the low voltage system are identified that make its operation possible. The methodology to be used allows the feasibility of the project and strengthens the research, with the taking of measurements that were carried out on different days and times for a period of three months, verifying the quality of electrical energy received by users in the sector, the measurements confirm the analysis of the researchers, determining that the load is very high and the power of the 37.5 kVA transformer, which is installed in the sector is deficient, the system corrodes over time, due to the conditions of humidity, salts and minerals from the soil, the temperature, cause its operation to suffer alterations that lead to disconnection, it should be noted that they do not receive adequate maintenance, when a mishap occurs, the problem is solved momentarily. The poor state of the system structures is analyzed, concluding that urgent repowering of the system is necessary. The project is viable given the need that the neighborhood sector has to solve the disconnections of the system and is feasible given the economic losses reflected by the marketing company.
