    Análisis del comportamiento del rotor en operación de un aerogenerador de baja potencia ubicado en el sector de Río Blanco comunidad Yatzaputzán para determinar su eficiencia
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica. Carrera de Ingeniería Mecánica, 2018) Romero Rosero, Jesús Emanuel; Mayorga Pardo, Alex Santiago
    The present experimental work consists of obtaining the characteristic curve of a low power wind turbine located in the sector of Río Blanco community Yatzaputzán, province of Tungurahua - Ecuador to determine its efficiency, for which the following variables have been sampled: of wind, rotation speed of the rotor, pressure, temperature, voltage and amperage delivered by the generator to the electric network, as well as the power factor Cp and the annual energy production of the machine were obtained. The analysis was carried out based on the regulations and bibliography on the test of the power curve for small wind turbines. Sampling was done through a data acquisition system that saves the sampled data in a database of its own in real time to tabulate them using the bine method and statistically obtain values; maximum, minimum, standard deviation and average for each bin of wind speed to then plot the power curve, power factor curve, torque coefficient curve and global power coefficient. Optimal time intervals were taken for the measurements with which the behavior of the rotor in operation can be analyzed in a better way, which will enable us to make the necessary changes in the future to increase its performance and improve its efficiency.

    Diseño y construcción de un sistema fotovoltaico de baja potencia en el sector Rio Blanco perteneciente a la comunidad Yatzaputzan
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica. Carrera de Ingeniería Mecánica, 2017) Guananga Pujos, Mauricio Alejandro; López López, Germánico Adán
    The present technical project is focused on the design and construction of a low power photovoltaic system that allows to supply electricity to a low-income housing located in the Rio Blanco sector, Ambato city, the search for new alternatives through the use of clean energies, Profitable in the long term and the interest in improving the quality of life of isolated communities allowed to implement the project. With the help of a solar-wind survey tower implemented by the project “VIABILITY OF THE ENERGY AND SOCIOECONOMIC POTENTIAL OF RENEWABLE ENERGIES " owned by the University Technical of Ambato, the energy potential of the sector with measured values in real time was determined, calculated the real global irradiation available in the study area, through questionnaires it was possible to know the electric demand of the inhabitants residing in the sector, with this information served to know the parameters of design, selection of materials and equipment needed to form the system. Finally, a control board was installed to allow the photovoltaic system to be integrated with a low-power wind generator installed in place to improve the power supply. Two controllers were used, the first regulates the energy extracted from the energy sources and the second regulates the consumption of the loads, the purpose of these equipments is to control the overcharge and discharge of the batteries in order to increase their useful life.
