Análisis de mejoramiento de la capacidad instalada en la Subestación Salinas.

Abstract

We address the importance of electricity as a fundamental form of energy in modern societies, being essential for the operation of devices and machines. Electricity is defined as a set of phenomena derived from the interaction between electric charges, which are manifested in physical, luminous, mechanical and thermal fields. At the same time, emphasis is placed on the increase in the demand for electric service, due to population growth. This increase has caused an overload in the power transformer of the Salinas substation, leading it to operate at more than 80% of its current capacity. For this reason, the need to improve the quality of service is outlined through an analysis of one of the most important pieces of equipment that make up the substation, the power transformer. With the help of our field analysis we were able to determine that the increase of the population in this locality is also due to the fact that it is a tourist area. As an intrepidity of the same with the help of calculations, the power of the transformer, which currently has a capacity of 10/12 MVA to 16/20 MVA, should be improved. Also included was the coordination of testing, commissioning, training of authorized personnel and a maintenance plan to ensure the efficient and sustainable operation of the transformer, reflected in the demand projected in the voltages at which the transformer operates.
