Item Análisis del potencial hidroeléctrico para la generación de hidrógeno verde en el Ecuador(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Mecánica, 2023-03) Urquizo Analuisa, Henry Alexander; Escobar Luna, Luis EduardoCurrently most of the hydrogen produced globally comes from fossil fuels, which generates greenhouse gas emissions. That is why new environmentally friendly energy sources are sought to cushion the harmful effects. In the present experimental work, the hydroelectric potential for the generation of green hydrogen, through the electrochemical process known as water electrolysis, therefore, the objective of this research is to analyze hydrogen as an energy vector that leads the country towards decarbonization and a greater use of renewable energies. In this study, three scenarios for green hydrogen generation were evaluated: by feasible economic potential, by discharges into reservoirs and by energy delivered to auxiliary systems, all these evaluated in 9 hydroelectric plants distributed in the national territory, these were selected for the proximity to the province of Tungurahua and the availability of the necessary information for the analysis of hydrogen production processes. Finally, the applicability and benefits of the implementation of hydrogen in the industrial, energy and transport sectors were analyzed, concluding that there is great potential in the country for the development of this technology.Item Diseño y construcción de un sistema de generación de hidrógeno por electrólisis(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Mecánica, 2022-03) Danilo Manuel, Herdoíza Zurita; Escobar Luna, Luis EduardoHydrogen is currently an alternative fuel that has many applications, the reason for this research is to build a prototype that extracts said gas through electrolysis, in order to quantify the amount of production using conventional methods. For the construction of the prototype, materials were selected according to the layout of the project, materials that resisted the attack of acids such as polypropylene were used for the container, stainless steel 304 was used for the electrodes, and a compound of distilled water was made for the electrolyte. with sodium hydroxide. The sets of these materials formed the extractor that worked together with a direct current source and the electrolysis process was carried out. The method used for the quantification of hydrogen was conventionally a volumetric cylinder, while the gas continued to be extracted, it was led by a hose to the cylinder that is full of water, while the gas continues to be filled in the cylinder, the water is pushed allowing take the measurement of how much volume is extracted in a given time to achieve a flow.
