Estudio de factibilidad de un sistema solar fotovoltaico híbrido con autonomía para cargas críticas en el edificio azul de la CNEL EP Guayaquil.

Abstract

Over the years, the dependence on conventional generation sources, such as thermoelectric plants that burn fuel, has generated a considerable environmental impact due to the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, causing drastic meteorological changes around the world. This, in turn, is reflected in periods of drought, causing limitations on large, hydroelectric generation, sources, and periods of low water levels, which affect the quality of electrical service and the administrative and financial processes of the energy distribution company. The study sought to analyze the technical and economic feasibility of a hybrid photovoltaic system with autonomy for critical loads in the Azul building of the distribution company CNEL EP in Guayaquil. The project aims to provide uninterrupted energy service through a proposed design with a generation capacity of 400 kW, consisting of a bank of 100 kW inverters in parallel. The proposed system projects an anual production of approximately 582 MWh. This project, through energy savings and other benefits, will recover its initial investment of $367,854.29 in the seventh year.
