Diseño de un Sistema Solar Fotovoltaico para suministro de energía eléctrica a la planta de asfalto de la Empresa H e H ubicada en la ciudad de Guayaquil.

Abstract

The importance of different energy sources for the future is one of the priority issues to be resolved. Energy acts as both a solution and a problem for sustainable development. It has driven progress, yet it is one of the main causes of habitat pollution, causing harm to human health and the environment. Residential, industrial, and commercial energy consumption is significant and, in the future, tends to become unsustainable for our planet, both due to the depletion of natural resources and the irreversible damage it causes to the ecosystem. To contribute to humanity's sustainable development, it is essential to create alternative energy sources that optimize renewable resources for the development of new, more efficient, and environmentally friendly energy technologies. This paper corroborates the study of electricity demand at Hidalgo e Hidalgo S.A. for the design of a photovoltaic solar system. For the design of the photovoltaic solar system, a load study was carried out on the asphalt plant with nominal values of the different machines and equipment installed. With the data obtained, the equipment was calculated, including the number of solar panels and cost analysis, selection of the inverter power range, number of batteries, and use of software for sizing. At the end of this work, the results obtained will be presented for the subsequent implementation of the photovoltaic project.
